Difference in Tendon profile from info tab and Tendon plot command

Shijo ANTONY — Thu, 16 Jun 2022 08:06:20 GMT

I've modelled multiple tendons for a segmental bridge and I'm facing issues with the tendon profile. I've defined the tendon profile with coordinates with respect to the nodal axis and when I check the profile using the info tab the profile (in elevation) looks more or less all right; but when I plot the tendon using the PlTndGm command in stages, the tendon profile at the beginning of the tendon looks absurd. The screenshots are attached for your reference.

Is this is a glitch in RM or is there something I've not done correctly and am overlooking?

Longitudinal Reinforcement Check

Hi,

I'm trying to verify if my superstructure satisfies AASHTO LRFD 5.8.3.5 for longitudinal reinforcement. I am under the Beam tab under the superstructure module. If I click on the rating parameters I see a check box for "Longitudinal Reinforcement Check". I have selected this check and reviewed both the design results and the rating results but I am unable to located where this check is clearly done and its results. Can someone help me?
