1Stress Check in Concrete Superstructure under service condition

In the following diagrams MIDAS output for top & bottom fibre stresses for different loadcombinations
are shown below.

Maximum Allowable Compressive Stress = 0.40 Fck = 0.40 * 45 = -18.00 MPa

Maximum Allowable Tensile Stress = 1.40 MPa

Note : Compression is –ve, Tension is +ve
