ACI 10.5.4 says the slabs of uniform thickness Asmin in the direction of the span shall be the same as 7.12
say i have a 6" one way slab. according to 7.12 my minimum is 6*12*.0018=.1296in^2/ft. i need double layer bars. through calc i know #3@12 which is 0.11 in^2/ft is good enough for bending. then my question is does #3@12 T&B meet the minimum reinforcing requirement?
i guess my question is, 10.5.4 is the minimum requirement for the bars on the tension side or bars on the whole cross section?
thanks.
