All Sides Equal Option:
Design reinforcement by maintaining equal number of bars on all sides.
Equal Spacing Option:
Design reinforcement by maintaining nearly equal bar spacing on all sides.
Sides Different Option:
In design, number of top/bottom bars can be different than number of bars on sides.

Based on Confinement Type
Confinement: Spiral
Determines capacity reduction factors based on "Spiral" confinement.
Confinement: Tied
Determines capacity reduction factors based on "Tied" confinement.
Confinement: Other
Determines capacity reduction factors based on "Other" confinement.
