For a cantilever span (as determined by the declaration of supports in the design strip segment), this criterion is ignored if the section location is outside of L/3 of the support.
For a regular span (as determined by the declaration of supports in the design strip segment), this criterion is ignored if the section location is in one of the two regions between L/6 and L/3 from a support. It is assumed that these regions will contain the peak moments and hence the first part of a span to crack;
This criterion is not applied to bonded two-way slabs, even though the code technically requires it.
The cracking is assumed to be top (negative moment) or bottom (positive moment) based on the "Min. Reinforcement Pattern" selected in the design strip segment or design section.
