concrete grade

Hi friends, I dropped the concrete of the beams from c20 to c16 in ide 5.5, as a result, the reinforcement area decreased when it was supposed to increase.
 
Hello there; In the program, there are two controls, manual and automatic, regarding the purchase of the reinforcement. In the form of defining the max and min reinforcement price when the manual control is entered into the relevant element parameters. For example, the default tension reinforcement purchase for beams is 0.003. However, in addition to this manually entered value, the program also calculates the "0.8*(fctd/fyd)" and "fctd/fyd" min price values required by the regulation and uses whichever is larger in the selection of reinforcement. Of course, it should be reminded that for the case of using the min pursantage in the selection of the reinforcement, if the required reinforcement is more due to the cross-section effects, the min reinforcement is not used and the calculated reinforcement is used. As for the situation you are facing, since I can't see your project, I make an estimation: First of all, since you used C16 concrete in your project, if we assume that this project is a reinforcement project and that S220 is used as reinforcing steel, the min purchase price for C20-S220 is 0.0044, while the min price for C16-S220 is 0.0039. therefore, there will be a decrease in the selected reinforcement depending on the concrete class. I am adding the explanation in the ide help on the subject below.
 
I have a retrofitting project in my hand and the current situation in this project is about 30 as a result of the performance, most of them are columns and 8 beams brittle elements and it is stated in the performance report that they are insufficient. In the retrofitting project, on each floor of the 3-storey structure reinforced with only 8 curtains. My question is, do all the brittle elements need to be strengthened or will those brittle elements lose their brittleness with the addition of these 8 curtains to the building? so is it ok? Is the brittleness of brittle elements removed by the mere addition of curtains? thanks. By the way, I am the administrative authority that will approve the project.

Are there files related to reinforcement?

I mean, will it improve? Will the brittleness of the brittle elements be removed with just the addition of curtains? By the way, I'm the administration authority.
