Minimum Longitudinal Reinforcement in RF-CONCRETE Members

If the calculation of the longitudinal reinforcement according to the standard is activated, the required reinforcement content is taken into account when displaying the required reinforcement.

See the following graphic with the distribution of the required reinforcement without the minimum longitudinal reinforcement according to the standard:

Distribution of Required Reinforcement Without Minimum Longitudinal Reinforcement According to Standard

And in comparison, the distribution of A_{s,req,-z(top)} with the minimum longitudinal reinforcement according to the standard:

Distribution of Required Reinforcement incl. Minimum Longitudinal Reinforcement According to Standard

In result window "2.4 Required Reinforcement by x‑Location", you can see which reinforcement is required at each x‑location of the designed member. If the minimum longitudinal reinforcement according to the standard is governing, this is indicated by note No. 26) or 27).

Result Window 2.4 with Display of Required Reinforcement by x-Location

Dialog Box with Notes 26) and 27)

At the locations where the minimum longitudinal reinforcement is not governing, only the statically required longitudinal reinforcement is displayed. Notes Nos. 26) and 27) are missing in this case.
