Question:
Why do RF‑CONCRETE Members and CONCRETE determine a significantly higher provided reinforcement than the required reinforcement?

Answer:
This may be related to the curtailment of the provided reinforcement.

If no curtailment is activated, a uniform reinforcement is designed across the entire structure (Image 01).
The curtailment of the reinforcement can be activated in the "Longitudinal Reinforcement" tab of the add-on module (Image 02).

After activating the curtailment, it is possible to define the number of areas. The higher the number of areas, the more precisely the provided reinforcement can follow the distribution of the required reinforcement (Image 03).
