    I would like to reiterate the importance of making this functionality available under the ACI code, as many projects in the Americas require compliance with this standard—especially for hydraulic structures such as water tanks or pits that operate under internal pressure.

    The relevant codes applicable to this type of design include:

    • ACI 318Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete, widely used as the basis for general reinforced concrete design.

    • ACI 350Code Requirements for Environmental Engineering Concrete Structures, specifically developed for structures that contain liquids or are exposed to aggressive environments, including requirements for durability, crack control, and watertightness.

    I kindly request that this functionality be implemented in future versions of the software, as its inclusion would significantly expand the scope and applicability of the tool in international projects.

    Thank you again for your attention and for following up on user suggestions.
