New Features
Mildly reinforced members now use effective moment of inertia for deflections instead of bilinear deflections.
Added warnings for reducing shear / torsion demand near support when we detect that it may be inappropriate to do so
Expanded section property tables in output
Added more options on computing shear capacity of composite sections
Program Changes
Default files now correctly set the date to the current date
Dash out flexure rows where capacity is not calculated
Distributed load grid split into area load and line load grid to help differentiate the loads for the reviewer.
Topping surface type changes to just intentionally roughened or smooth. If roughened, the program will check if reinforcement is required, if smooth minimum is always required.
Expanded help documentation on the website. Use Help → User manual or F1 to get to it.
Mechanically anchored reinforcement now instantly develops tension and compression.
Load bearing width for ledge design changed from 3 inches to 4 inches.
Prestress losses added to detailed flexure printout
Bug Fixes
Fix issue where composite members could get stuck in the analysis
Fix issue for the PCI Method of Horizontal Shear resulting in higher demand
Plain concrete strength now removed as an option as it was primarily used for sections with very low demand (which is handled differently now)
Fix issue resulting in lower than expected d values for shear. This was intermittent and only slightly conservative (<5% in d value)
Fix issue where load descriptions were being added to output incorrectly
