QUESTION: How can the user check the column for minimum reinforcement ?Is it possible for the user to input the Minimum reinforcement criteria as per AASHTO provisions?

ANSWER:

In the column TAB at the bottom left hand corner of the screen the user can input the Minimum Reinforcement criteria as per AASHTO Provisions. Once the user checks the AASHTO provision option and inputs the percentage then in the Design Status output the program checks column design rebar information against minimum reinforcement criteria.
