Hello friends,
I have two identical columns with same loads and with equal results, e.g. bending moment and axial force.
Difference only in longitudinal reinforcement: in first column A500 with characteristic strength 500 MPa, in second A400 with 400 MPa.
But I have strange results of theoretical reinforcement area according to SNiP 2.03.01-84. Please, see the screenshot:

I will try to check next week. As the labels K1_A400 and 500 for some reason are not defined are not present in the file I created the similar ones and made the test. The results I get for compression are as in your case but when I change the axial force to tension I have more reinforcement for weaker steel. I need to find out what additional SNIP provisions for compression are first.
The initial check I made indicates that reinforcement database for new Russian code (SP-52) is not fully compatible with the older design code. Using the SNIP2 reinforcement database instead of SP-52 and making test for A-III and A-IV steel grades I get the results as expected (less reinforcement for stronger steel).
