This article explains how the Advance Design RC Beam program computes the provided reinforcement on support.
Assume the following beam with 5 Ha14 bars anchored on support.
These 5 Ha14 bars should make for a 7,70cm² reinforcement area.
In this case, how come the program only returns 4,95cm² on support?
Of course, if the user activates the ‘Fully anchored reinforcement’ option:
Bars will be extended after the bend to ensure full anchorage:
