% Live Load Sustained | How much of the live load is sustained. This value is used for both stress computations, and loss computations for creep. |
Mod. Rupture | Modulus of Rupture |
Skin Reinforcement Cover | Skin cover to be used for serviceability cracking requirements. |
Compression Limits | Limit for compression stresses for both sustained load and total loads. |
Tension Limits | Limits for tension for when the member changes from Class U → T → C |
End Regions
Input | Description |
|---|---|
Limit shear near supports | This options limits Vu near the supports for ACI 318-14 9.4.3. By checking this options the shear demand will stop increasing when within the critical distance from the support. Note that shear is still checked within this distance, the demand just no longer increases. |
Limit torsion near supports | This options limits Tu near the supports for ACI 318-14 9.4.4. By checking this options the torsion demand will stop increasing when within the critical distance from the support. Note that torsion is still checked within this distance, the demand just no longer increases. |
Check shear / torsion within critical distance | If unchecked, shear and torsion design will not be checked for errors. The entries will also be removed from the output. |
Note: For ledged members (IT Beams, L-Beams, Spandrels) the height of the member uses the ledge height when computing the critical distance.
