Questions

1) In this Load management significance of Load case -1 & 2 ( SW-SUM &

STG-SUM) is not understood. Could you please explain what does this
signifies?
Does STG-SUM LOAD CASE= CS LOAD MANG+SW LOAD MANAG?
I have worked on a 12.5 m c/c simple supported slab and before using it in
other projects as I would like to understand that how the software works.
Therefor I have checked the structure for both strength condition &
serviceable condition
A) Strength condition:
I have calculated the area of reinforcement manually and verified with
the software.
i) In software I found the results as:
ii)

In manually I also got the same results as: 280 cm2.Which match
with the results
Question:
1) I have modelled the total length of slab as of 12.5 m length. I want
to design it as an effective span of 12.00 m as slab is resting on a
pier cap for a length of 0.5 m.
Does the software automatically change the spring position as per pier
length or manually we have to change the spring position?
12.5 m

12.0 m
Pier width: 1.00 m
B) Serviceable criteria:

a) Deflection: calculated by taking no shrinkage ( Ts=1000)

( Short term deflection)

( Long term deflection)

Long term deflection = 12.012/4.594 = 2.61 =1 + creep coeff.

Short term deflection
Hence creep coeff comes very close to 1.6 ( As per IRC code if loading is
applied on 28 days creep coeff =1.6)
2) Question:
in deflection calculation, E creep is considered but effective moment of
inertia is not considered i.e. Ieff (Cracked moment of inertia)
How to consider the cracked moment of inertia. Also is there any way to
check the moment of inertia which programme is using for calculation?

b) Stress check at top & bottom fibres at mid-section for following

condition
i) Early stage & long term (considering only creep effect 1.6 &
cracked section) manual calculation considering cracked effect

3) The results of top & bottom fibres are not matching as it is

considering I gross & moment of inertia due to tension area of
concrete is not neglected
4) RM Sets are defined to calculate the stresses .Could you please give
any reference that how to define it?

5) Although crack.sup is defined ,how to check the crack width

The manual calculation of serviceable criteria is attached .I like to validate
the results
