Required slab reinforcement for each design strip is displayed in reinforcement diagrams along the center of the strip. Layer A results or Layer B or Layer Other results are shown separately. Required top and bottom reinforcement in either total area required or as number of bars of a user chosen size are displayed. Optionally, only the amount of reinforcement required over a user specified value can be displayed. Numerical values of required reinforcement can be displayed at every design station or at controlling points along the strip length. The extent of required reinforcement can be shown. This does not currently include any allowance for development lengths, etc. Whether the required slab reinforcing satisfies the code minimums is dependent on the user-controlled setting of this option.
The tabular results for slab reinforcing include the strip label, the station location along the strip, the strip width, the governing design combination for the top reinforcing, the top moment, the top rebar required based on the moment, the minimum top rebar as specified by the code, the governing design combination for the bottom reinforcing, the bottom moment, the bottom rebar required based on the moment, the minimum bottom rebar as specified by the code, a status check (OK, Flexural Failure), the global X and Y coordinates of the station, and the layer label. All results are total rebar areas for the strip width. Again, development length, etc., are not considered.
