Code Minimum and Strength calculations
This section shows results where both the Code Minimum and Strength rule sets are considered.
Reinforcement layer
The following figure shows the reinforcement for minimum and strength.
Note that the minimum designer has increased the bottom bars in the left hand span for the no detailing case.
Design Status layer with plot: Bottom without span detailing:
For this plot, the design strips' span detailer setting of code has no effect.
Design Status layer with plot: Bottom with span detailing:
The span detailing plot uses "skyline" plotting.
Note that the design strips' span detailer setting of code produces more reinforcement.
Design Status layer with plot: Bottom (Developed) without span detailing:
This plot is different from "Bottom without span detailing" (that is, the Raw reinforcement) because the Minimum reinforcement is not required to be developed.
Design Status layer with plot: Bottom (Developed) with span detailing:
This plot is different from "Bottom with span detailing" (that is, the Raw reinforcement) because the Minimum reinforcement at the end supports is not developed, and so the plotted value is zero.
Additionally, portions of the raw reinforcement are now assumed to be developed because the span detailing process for the design status layer considers that continuous bars, whether they are required to be developed or not, become at least partially developed.
