About section design "context" plots

The Section Design plot group box, "Context" allows for three possible contexts:

  • With Span Detailing
  • Without Span Detailing, and
  • User Provided Reinf.

Span detailing is explained in Section 53.1 in Chapter 53, "Reinforcement Notes".

The effects of the Span Detailing Contexts on plots are explained in the following two tables.

For the Design Status layer, the context of "With Span Detailing" includes the effects of the assumed reinforcement development calculations in the plots of developed reinforcement.
