i want to ask if the columns of an RC multistory building have to pass both as "reinforcement to be checked" and "reinforcement to be designed" in ETABS V16.
i am working on a project in which when i select the option of reinf. to be checked and provide reinf., the design is ok. whereas if on the same model when i select the option of
reinf. to be designed, failures are shown such as BCC failures.
i presume a structure has to pass both.
guidance is needed
