For span segment strips, this criteria is only applied to the first cross section at a support if the span ratio is less than L/6.

See "Minimum Reinforcement" above for details regarding which slab/beam face (top or bottom) that the reinforcement will have the reinforcement added.

A_cf is calculated as the maximum of the cross section area and the cross section depth times the span length. This will not always exactly match the code requirement

User defined reinforcement on the appropriate face and bonded post-tensioning that is on the appropriate side of the centroid is counted toward the requirement. Vector components are taken of reinforcement and bonded post-tensioning that is not orthogonal to the cross section.

The location of bonded reinforcement (the 1.5 h requirement) is not checked.

The number of bars ("4 bars or wires") is not checked.

No check is made to ensure that the structure is post-tensioned.
