There was a reporting error in the summary table in Builds 9.3.0 and older, and was corrected in the most recent release - 9.4.0.20.

Scroll down and go to the details of the shear design of the pedestal. You should find the correct value like that shown in this figure.

Hi Mr.Sye,

As per the summary table ( to ACI ), the stump rebar is shown like # 6 @ 5.00mm , so that means 6mm dia. bars , what the @ 5mm refers ?

Unfortunately I don't think you can control the minimum reinforcement for the pedestal anymore. An alternative would possibly be to not have the pedestal and adjust the column dimensions so that these match the pedestal dimensions. However if you go that route, please make sure that additional moments due to horizontal shears at the column bases ( = shear x pedestal height ) are manually added to the column loads.
