Hello,
In "Design for Flexure" section, STAAD foundation calculates the minimum reinforcement based on this equation: As min = ρ. b . d eff
b : foundation width or w
d eff : effective depth
But ACI says As min = ρ. b . h
[ ACI 7.12.2.1 — Area of shrinkage and temperature reinforcement shall provide at least the following ratiosof reinforcement area to gross concrete area ........]
I am asking for your ideas on this. At the moment I think it is wrong and must be corrected in STAAD.foundation.
Thank you
