ASSUMPTIONS:

1.

Some calculations are based on elements of AS5100.5 (2004).  Equations and expressions in such cases are clearly identified.

2.

The concrete compression block can lie either within the insitu concrete slab, the section flanges or the web.

3.

The effect of passive (non-prestressed) reinforcement in the tensile zone is included when performing the Ultimate Limit State check.

 

LIMITATIONS & RESTRICTION:

1.

Differential thermal strains are excluded from the SLS Analysis using the strain compatibility method and no prestress losses are calculated

2.

Redistribution of creep stresses to slab is not performed.

3.

Deflection and hog are calculated at midspan only and time-dependent analysis is not performed.

4.

Debonding lengths are not calculated.

5.

The effective width of the Super-T flange is not calculated.
