- Tendons are considered as an internal section force (and the hyperstatic loading is assumed to be included in the load factors).
- The reinforcement type (as defined in the design section or design strip segment) is considered (PT or RC).
- The stress levels in the structure are determined by the moment envelope for the rule set (failure could occur on both faces).
- See "Torsion Considerations" for how torsion is implemented.
- Code Rules are applied as shown in the following table
Table 1. Strength rule mapping
Design System |
RC |
PT |
Beam |
10.2, 11.3, 11.6* |
11.4, 11.6*, 18.7
|
One-Way Slab |
10.2, 11.3, 11.6* |
11.4, 11.6*, 18.7
|
Two-Way Slab |
10.2, 11.3, 11.6* |
11.4, 11.6*, 18.7
|
Note: * - 11.6 is applied only if
"beam" torsion is selected (see torsion design notes)
