How are cracked sections analyzed in SAFE?
...
As a default the program uses the reinforcement that results from finite element design. The other two options include user-defined reinforcement and quick tension reinforcement. If user rebar is selected the reinforcement needs to be added to the model, to do this use Draw >Slab Rebar. Rebar should be added in both the tension and compression regions for the entire slab, note that in this case the software will only use the user-defined reinforcement in cracked calculation, not the reinforcement from design.
