Are the above mentioned stresses added to the stress in the orthogonal tendons when checking a PT flat plate?
The sweep of the tendons certainly affects the analysis of the slab, and, in turn, the resultant forces considered in the design. Furthermore, the tendon angle to the cross section is considered in the design. But, in-plane shear forces and in-plane bending don't directly figure into any of the program code checks (at least for flat slabs).
