Code Minimum Reinforcement

The structural system (as defined in the design section or design strip segment) is considered (beam, one-way slab, two-way slab).
The reinforcement type (as defined in the design section or design strip segment) is considered (PT or RC).
The placement of the reinforcement is based on the "min. reinforcement location" selection for the design strip segment or design section:
- Elevated Slab – Reinforcement is at top near supports and bottom near midspan.
- Mat Foundation – Reinforcement is at bottom near supports and top near midspan.
- Tension Face – Reinforcement location is determined by the design moment envelope for the rule set (reinforcement may be required on both faces).
- Top – Reinforcement is always located at the top of slab (Engineer discretion advised)
- Bottom – Reinforcement is always located at the bottom of slab (Engineer discretion advised)
- None – No reinforcement is provided (Engineer discretion advised)
- Code Rules are applied as shown in the following table.
