The above requirements of𝐴𝑠,𝑚𝑖𝑛. need not be applied if, at every section 𝐴𝑠 provided is at
least one-third greater than that required by analysis ( 𝐴𝑠,𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑑 ≥
1.33 𝐴𝑠,𝑟𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑑 ).This exception provides sufficient additional reinforcement in large
members where the amount required by the above equations would be excessive.
