The column reinforced concrete calculation logic has completely changed for TBDY 2018

Some of our users report to the technical service and the forum with the complaint that too much reinforcement is placed in the column, even though it is not necessary. They say that I am looking at the column, there is no effect on that floor that would require that reinforcement. There are effects that require this reinforcement on an upper floor or a lower floor. Why do we put that equipment on the floor where it is not needed? As you know, the new 2018 earthquake regulation made it mandatory to make column additions in the middle of the column. And the column reinforcements have to be laid continuously from the middle of the lower floor to the middle of the upper floor without any additions. ideCAD calculates the column reinforcement at floor level, at the top end of a lower floor and at the bottom end of that floor, and takes the negative one of the two calculations. We can no longer talk about a single reinforcement placed throughout the entire floor for that floor column. There was no such situation in the 2007 regulation. This is a new situation that came with the 2018 regulation.
