Problem Description
The design shear for concrete beams in special moment frames is calculated using the applied gravity loads (see ACI 318-11 21.5.4.1 and Fig R21.5.4). Gravity loads that are associated with two-way decks are ignored by the program when calculating the design shear.
Solution
This is a know limitation of the program that will be addressed in a future release.
