standard
that
have
been
included
in
ADAPT-PT/RC
include
but
are
not
limited
to:
Reinforcement
strain
limit
has
been
revised
for
all
criteria
and
system
types
(beam,
one-way
and
two-way
slabs
for
RC
and
PT
mode)
according
to
Section
7.3.3.1.
Minimum
flexural
reinforcement
for
non-prestressed,
reinforced
one
and
two-way
slabs
shall
meet
a
minimum
area
of
flexural
reinforcement
of
0.0018Ag
according
to
Section
7.6.1.1.
One-way
shear
strength
provisions
for
non-prestressed
members
in
relation
with
Vc
for
non-prestressed
members
have
been
modified
per
Table
22.5.5.1.
The
requirements
for
Av,min
for
non-prestressed
and
prestressed
beams
are
given
in
Section
9.6.3.1

beams.
For
two-way
shear
of
slabs,
a
new
size
effect
factor,
lambda
is
introduced
in
the
allowable
concrete
shear
stress,
Vc,without
shear
reinforcement.
Table
22.6.5.2
now
incorporates
the
size
effect
factor,
lambda
in
equations
(a),
(b),
and
(c).
