Include column and shaft controlling service loads (RCPIER/LEAP)

When designing drilled shafts, there is no option to display controlling shear and moment loads (bottom of column). This is needed for the geotechnical engineer on designing th drilled shaft. For column design, it is sometime useful to also show controlling service loads so the engineer can calculate column cracking. I suggest to enhance RCPIER (LEAP) in Openbridge Designer by including controlling service loads for both columns and shafts.
