I was digging into the commentary on this section and noticed that it makes numerous references to having already applied strength reduction factors. These strength reduction factors are in line with TMS 402 (0.6 unreinforced, 0.9 reinforced).

Have I been applying double strength reduction factors this whole time, or do I need to apply them multiplicatively?
