In beam and slab decks, the stepping of moments in members on either side of a node occurs. The difference in bending mo members meeting at a node will generally be large in outer girders. In the case where all the members meeting at the node a values of bending output from the program is to be used. If at a node there are no physical beams in the other direction and t represent a slab, the bending moments on either side of the node should be averaged out, as there are no real beams of any The design shear forces and torsions can be read directly from grillage output without any modifications.

In case of composite constructions, where the grillage member stiffnesses are calculated from properties of two dissimilar m elements, the output force response is attributed to each in proportion to its contribution to the particular stiffness. In cases w grillage members between two physical beams and the transverse members have not been loaded, then for these moments grillage output for the local transverse members. But in case there is a nominal grillage member under the load or if the trans loaded, the slab moments due to twisting of beams can be calculated from the grillage output displacements and rotations o slope deflection method.

If the longitudinal grid lines are not physically supported at the ends, the load carried by these lines is taken to flow towards n end cross girders. In case this is not accounted for, then this result in lower values of shear in supported grid lines. To accoun shear of these beams is to be added to the shear of adjacent beams, which are physically supported. In the same way, to av bending moment in supported longitudinal beams, the bending moments of unsupported grid lines should also be considere longitudinal beams.
