Concrete to Concrete Structural Joint c1 Cover Question

Concrete to Concrete Structural Joint c1 Cover Question

Hello, I am attempting to design a connection where a concrete beam is connecting perpendicularly to an existing concrete beam. I am using the Concrete to Concrete Structural Joint module to get a rough idea of the development length required to transfer the shear and moment from the new concrete beam into the existing concrete beam. However, I noticed there is an error which says "The end concrete cover (c1) needs to be larger or equal to the minimum concrete cover (c_min = 3.125 in)." The concrete cover we have set is over that amount so I am not sure how to resolve this error message or understand what is prompting it. Thank you in advance for your help in clarifying what this error is suggesting.

Hello,

The end cover variable is under the “Installation conditions” tab. Please see snippet below on where you can update it.
