  1. Repetitive Member Design Note for Beams Under Nominal 4" (Bug 2666)

    A design note was shown for all non-built-up beams under 4" nominal width saying that the beam is in a system and that a repetitive member factor is applied, even if the repetitive member check box is not checked. This occurred for glulam even though repetitive member factors do not apply to glulam and the checkbox for this is always disabled and unchecked.

    Note that this happens for sawn under 3.5" actual and glulam and LVL under 4" actual.

  2. Reporting of Incising Factor for Bending (Bug 2720)

    The program reports a value of 1.0 for the incising factor for the Fb criterion in the Additional Section of the design results, even though it correctly uses the 0.8 value from Table 4.3.8 when the member is incised. The factors for all other design criteria are correctly displayed.

  3. Notch Output

    The following problems are associated with the output of notch information in the materials specification of the Design Check report.

    1. Zero Joist Notch Depth and Length (Bug 2722)

      For joists only, in the materials specification of the Design Check output, the notch depth and unsupported length were showing as zero even though the member designed with the notch depth as input. .

      These problems have been corrected.

    2. Format of Notch Depth and Unsupported Length (Bug 2724)

      The notch depth and unsupported length in the materials specification of the Design Check output was not showing the units employed, was not formatted using the imperial format style chosen in the Format settings. and it was not showing a decimal place for even numbers, e;g. 2 instead of 2.0. These problems have been corrected.

  4. Multi-ply Custom Section EI Output (Bug 2729)

    The EI value output in the Additional Data section for multi-ply custom section sizes was showing the EI value for all plies combined, not per ply as indicated in the note. This has been corrected.

  5. Bearing Width in Output and Diagram (Bug 2746)

    When outputting the bearing width used for a multi-ply member, the program shows the width of a single ply of the member if it is less than the user input bearing width. Instead it should show the full width of the member if it is less than the input bearing width. This error occurs in both the Design Results output and the beam diagram.

    This is a reporting problem only and the correct bearing width is used for bearing design.

  6. Crash and Nonsensical Output for Total Deflection Additional Data (Bug 2748)

    If the member is subjected to dead loads only, the total deflection output Critical Load Combinations section in Additional Data did not appear. Occasionally, nonsensical output would appear in its place, and more rarely, the program would crash.

  7. Fire Design in the Additional Data
    1. Formatting of Table Entries (Change 140)

      The factors shown for fire design in the additional data now show up as dashes and not zero if they are not relevant to fire design - these are CD, CM, CT, Cr, Cfrt and Ci.

    2. Gypsum Fire Protection in Results Output (Change 149)*

      In the CALCULATIONS section on the Design Check results, the line 'Fire protection = xx min'. Now says "Fire protection (gypsum)…
