This often happens when the actual structural design calls for a denser reinforcement schedule than a general residential heuristic assumes, particularly if your building has longer spans, an added floor, or a raft foundation that was not fully reflected in the calculator inputs. Compare your bar bending schedule against the calculator's assumptions to understand the […]

This often happens when the actual structural design calls for a denser reinforcement schedule than a general residential heuristic assumes, particularly if your building has longer spans, an added floor, or a raft foundation that was not fully reflected in the calculator inputs. Compare your bar bending schedule against the calculator's assumptions to understand the gap, and treat the drawing-based schedule as the more reliable figure going forward.
