Hello Fellow Engineers. Well I do Know that, Etabs Checks all the members for there minimum area of Reinforcement as per code. But I came across one design of mine where I see for a beam size of 228.6 mm wide and 304.8 mm deep. Etabs gives Bottom reinforcement less than what I calculated manually. I am attaching a few pics for the problem. I request to please put some light on this. The beam is designed for M20 and Fe 415 steel.

Dears; The minimum steel ratio =0.0018 is for one face or for the 2 faces of the section (top & bottom)?? As far as I know that 0.0018 is for the face exposed to tension (not the 2 faces). Since the Mat suffers tension at top and bottom of the section at the same section so we provide 0.0018 for 2 faces . Am I right??? Regards
