Hi there,
i am having a problem understanding the design output in Etabs in a RC structure.
for a given beam concrete design check, i am getting the following results in a certain beam section:
1- for Longitudinal reinforcement: TOP= 300mm
BOTTOM= 400mm
2- Shear reinforcement(stirrups): 220mm / 1 meter.
3- Torsion reinforcement: A-(stirrups) 200mm / 1 meter
B- longitudinal reinforcement= - 700mm
my questions are:
A- for the stirrups should i go with the shear requirement since its greater or should i add the shear+torsion requirements and design the beam stirrups accordingly?
B- for the longitudinal reinforcement, should i go with the Torsion requirement since its greater than the flexural requirement or add both Torsion + flexural requirement?
guys your help is much appreciated, i can't move on with my project until the above points are covered. thank you so much in advance and may god bless you...
