Thank you for the model.

1) The section is subject to torsion. The higher shear force is the equivalent factored shear force (Veq*), which accounts for both the applied shear and torsion. The lower value excludes the contribution of torsion.

2) Minimum transverse shear reinforcement is required per 8.2.1.6 because torsion exceeds 0.25*phi*Tcr. Closed ligs are detailed because the section is designed for torsion.

3) The bottom reinforcement is added to resist the longitudinal shear-torsion tension (deltaFtd, see 8.2.7). The torsion demand is a key contributor to the shear-torsion tension requirement.

Apologies Karl - I've uploaded the correct file now "MEL MSCP L3 PT Design_Rev7".

File "MEL MSCP Ramp PT Design_Rev7.cpt" was uploaded through the Secure File Upload.

Is this the correct file? I do not see 24C-2 in this model. The last span segment is numbered 10-5.
