QUESTION: Where to apply the Deck offset value, between the center of the deck and the center of the bent cap?

ANSWER:

When the Center of the Deck/Slab and Center of the bent cap are not aligning and there is an eccentricity then user needs to go to Geometry TAB and click on Superstructure Parameters button and in the new window the user shall input all the relevant superstructure information and under Deck Offset option the user can input the eccentric value. This option is available only in V15 and up.
