Number of Required Reinforcing Curtains Issue

$

0

The company I work for just recently updated to the new version 15.05 to design our models using ACI 318-14. 

When designing concrete shearwalls, I am getting a design warning as follows: Segment ####: At least (2) reinforcing curtains are required per 18.10.2.2 for LC ##. The problem is I have already assigned the wall to have (2) curtains and when I review the Summary Report, it shows:

Min Number of Reinf Curtains: 1     Actual: 2      (18.10.2.2) NG

From ACI 318-14 18.10.2.2: At least two curtains of reinforcement shall be used in a  wall if Vu > 2*Acv*lambda*sqrt(f'c) or hw/lw >= 2.0, in which hw and lw refer to height and length of entire wall, respectively.

Is this an error in the logic and something I can ignore?

Thanks.
