LIFT vrs slew report

Hi would be very helpful to get a lift vrs Slew report at set chainages along an alignment. This would help the designer see if they are designing enough lift in the track to achieve the slews, without going to the drawing production stage

Evaluate the use of Lambda excess reinforcement for development length of steel used in design

I agree that the excess reinforcement factors would be different for each POI and load case. That is one reason most engineers conservatively ignore that factor. A simple or temporary solution is to set that factor equal to 1. I believe that AASHT...

End Conditions automatically include an interval at the point in which cut/fill meet.

I'm surprised ORD doesn't automatically include an interval at the point in which cut slope becomes fill slope or vice verse. MX did a great job at this but without this function earthwork slopes aren't correct and give strange results. It's not p...
