Revision
Edited calculation for effective depth "d" in cells K78 and M78 to increase clear distance between
rebar layers from 2.0 inches to 2.5 inches. Also edited language in J78 description. This also
required an edit to H130 and H131 where the skin reinforcing spacing is calculated.
Edited cells K83 and M83 so that the tension controlled outcome is set to "NO" if the rebar grade is
above 60 ksi. The ACI 318 code is unclear about the tension control limit for bars above Grade 60.
All bars 60 ksi and below are valid for this template. Edited language in J78 description. Also
edited J43 and J53 to give no value for Et if rebar is higher than 60 ksi yield.
Edited cells K109, M109, K110, M110 so that Sd will not give an error if both the service and
ultimate moments are entered as zero. Likewise for cells F122, F123 related to service and
ultimate shears. Added a user note in cell P20 to explain what happens if a "DIV/0!" error appears.
If ultimate is entered with a value, but a zero is entered for service, this will produce the "DIV!0!"
error.
