• Shear in PT beams when Design column strip for Column + Middle strip resultants is checked

    Hi there, I'm designing a parking PT slab with PT beams in a corner panel where we have higher loads. I noticed that the amount of shear reinforcement in the beams running parallel to the distributed tendon (longitude direction) increases exponentially…
  • Unusual bottom stresses at span support end points -RAM CONCEPT

    I am modelling PT beams in both directions with one way mild reinforced slab spanning along X-axis. I would expect bottom stresses to be high at middle of the span for a typical girder parallel to the axis of slab, but there are areas in the model where…
