• What should I do if the program indicates that the girders are failing in negative flexure near the contraflexure points after running the design check on a curved composite steel plate girder? The span check table and design results diagram show a very high negative moment in this region, however, a results table for the maximum negative moment for that same load case indicate the opposite. Is it possible for the girders to fail in this region?
