Problem Description
ACI 318-11 7.10.4.3 states that the clear spacing between spirals shall not exceed 3 in. This requirement was not checked by the program. Columns with spiral reinforcing may have been designed with a larger spacing and no design warning was produced. All ACI 318 codes were affected.
Solution
A fix is in process and will be included in v15.05.00.
