When checking the minimum distributed web reinforcement ratio for a concrete wall under ACI section 21.9.2, reducing the minimum ratio for vertical and horizontal steel is allowed when Vu is less than Acv*SQRT(f'c). Does RAM Concrete take this into consideration when running the checks on concrete shearwalls? Some of the longer walls I have designed seem to be giving me a warning when the reinforcement ratio is less than 0.0025, even when Vu is much less than the value referenced in 21.9.2.1.
