The Building is designed including EQ loads and STAAD RCDC is giving more reinforcement at bottom near supports as curtailed bars. Why?
- RCDC design the beams as per section forces available from analysis. it designs the beams at 13 stations for given load combinations. when lateral loads are applied, due to sway effect end moment exists at end of the beam. So generally for +ve Eq and -ve Eq loads, the heavy moment exists at top or bottom of the end of the beam. we would request you to check the detailed design calculation report to get more information about the design of the beam. You will get the information about the for which moment end reinforcement is calculated.
