Question Regarding CONSPAN Shear Design

Question

Hi, dear friends, please help me with this following question. 
 I read the tutorial of CONSPAN and it tells that CONSPAN does the longitudinal reinforcement code check (according to AASHTO LRFD 5.8.3.5). Where could I check this code check result in the output file? Does "Al_reqd" in shear design output mean longitudinal reinforcement required due to 5.8.3.5? 
 
 Thanks for the help.

yes ,Conspan calculates the longitudinal reinforcement . Al_reqd -- Required area of longitudinal reinforcement (Art. 5.8.3.5), computed as [(the right hand side of Equation 5.8.3.5-1) - Aps*fps]/fy. Al_reqd calculation is not shown in the Conspan Tutorial Manual. 
 But Longitudinal Reinforcement calculation example can be found in RCPier Tutorial manual. Please check Tutorial 2 hand calculation , Page 37 . Please see the attached screenshot. I hope this information helps.

The Nomenclature list is available in Leap Conspan User manual. Please check Appendix A for LFD and Appendix B for LRFD code . Nomenclature and Printout explanation is available for both the codes.
