Function
- Generate a table summarizing the structural adequacy for the stress limit checks based on the assessment checks for SLS in beams with longitudinal stiffeners in the cross-section.

Input
Element : Element ID
Part : The i- or j-end of the element, giving the Node ID at that end in square brackets [Node ID]
Section Type : Compact or noncompact
Rating Case : The relevant Load Combinations for Assessment.
Load Effect : Indicates whether the bending moment is positive (sagging) or negative (hogging).
TF_left : The stress for the steel upper flange at the top-left.
TF_right : The stress for the steel lower flange at the top-right.
Stress Limit : SLS stress limits for the steel upper flange of a girder.
BF_left : The stress for the steel upper flange at the bottom-left.
BF_right : The stress for the steel lower flange at the bottom-right.
Stress Limit : SLS stress limits for the steel lower flange of a girder.
Rebar : The stress for the reinforcements at the extreme fiber.
Stress Limit : SLS stress limits for the reinforcements in a concrete slab.
A : Structural Adequacy – calculated as the stress limit divided by the applied stress, taken as the worst from the compression and tension case.
Check : An overall indication whether the section passed all checks and is OK or Not Good (NG).
