D1.F.4.6.3 ACI 318-11 and Earlier Beam Design Output

The following annotations apply to the output:

LEVEL
Serial number of bar level which may contain one or more bar group
HEIGHT
Height of bar level from the bottom of beam
BAR INFO
Reinforcement bar information specifying number of bars and bar size
FROM
Distance from the start of the beam to the start of the reinforcement bar
TO
Distance from the start of the beam to the end of the reinforcement bar
ANCHOR(STA/END)
States whether anchorage, either a hook or continuation, is needed at start (STA) or at the end
ROW
Actually required flexural reinforcement (As/bd) where b = width of cross section (ZD for rectangular and square section) and d = effective depth of cross section (YD - distance from extreme tension fiber to the c.g. of main reinforcement).
ROWMN
Minimum required flexural reinforcement (Amin/bd)
ROWMX
Maximum allowable flexural reinforcement (Amax/bd)
SPACING
Distance between centers of adjacent bars of main reinforcement
Vu
Factored shear force at section
Vc
Nominal shear strength provided by concrete
Vs
Nominal shear strength provided by shear reinforcement
Tu
Factored torsional moment at section
Tc
Nominal torsional moment strength provided by concrete
Ts
Nominal torsional moment strength provided by torsion reinforcement
