If your member has multiple bearing points, the bearing geometry should be input as the total a single bearing pad’s geometry. For example, if you are designing a stadium riser that is bearing on two legs, the bearing width should be the total width of all bearing pads, not a single individual one. By by doing this, the A1 and Acr values in each equation will be appropriately doubled.If the member is a T-Beam type section (as defined on the concrete extents) the bearing geometry is assumed to be input per stemcalculated appropriately.
