Notes

* Only the design bending forces (Mu), shear forces (Vu) and torsion moments (Tu)
are
considered in the design.

* Values shown in red are not in compliance with a provision of the code

* The positive and negative flexural reinforcement includes the longitudinal

reinforcement
required to resist torsion. Refer to the note below on the VCT column to determine
when
torsion and compression bars are provided. The longitudinal reinforcement area
considers
the minimum area required by Code (10.5).

* When the moments diagram increases in the same direction of the development
length of
the bars, the bars will not contribute to the member strength for a Code specified
distance equal to max(12*db,d).

* If the section at which member flexural strength is being calculated is within

the
development length of a group of bars, the bars will contribute to the bending
capacity an
amount proportional to their actual length / their full development length.

* Asprov is the provided reinforcement, considering the reduction due to the

development
length as described previously.

* "C" shows the span critical station.

* Ld,Ldh = Development length of each bar. If the bar ends with a hook, it
considers the
Ldh length.

* Splice lengths shown are not reduced by the factor Asreq/Asprov.

* sb = Free distance between top or bottom bars corresponding to the layer closest
to the
extreme face of the beam (layer1). It is not calculated when there is only one bar.

* The transverse reinforcement is ordered from left to right.

* Stirrups VCT = Flag that determines if stirrups are required to resist shear
forces (V),
torsion (T) or to confine the the longitudinal compression bars from buckling (C).

* Spa = stirrup spacing provided by the user.

* Spa lim = spacing limits due to geometry. (11.5.4.1, 11.5.4.3, 21.3.3.2,

21.10.4.2)

* Closed = Flag that indicates if the stirrups are closed (yes) or open (no).

* Mu/(f*Mn) = Critical strength ratio for the station. If the value is in red, it
is
larger than 1.0

* Al = Total additional longitudinal reinforcement required by torsion.

* The program does not consider ACI318-99 section 12.11.3 whereby the bar diameter
is
limited according to the location of the bar cut-off.
