  Basis of stress calculations:        
           
  Stresses due to prestress, self-weight and superimposed dead loads are calculated using girder moduli Zt and Zb viz:
  fgt = -M*10^6/Zt and fgb = M*10^6/Zb where M represents the relevant moment
           
  Stresses due to hotmix, live load and special vehicle loads are calculated using girder moduli of the composite section viz:
  fst = -M*10^6/Zst; fsb = -M*10^6/Zsb; fgt = -M*10^6/Zgt; fgb = M*10^6/Zgb
           
  For the case of superimposed dead loads (bitumen/hotmix) the stresses are multiplied by the factor SDLf.
  Shrinkage stresses are obtained from the 'Loadings' tab (fts, fbs, ftg, fbg)
