Etabs only gives you minimum area of reinforcement incase of slabs and columns provided that the designed reinforcement is less than the minimum area of reinforcement as per design code. However as far as design of beams are concerned, you must always calculate the area of steel manually and check it with the designed reinforcement by etabs. Etabs always give the designed reinforcement for beams whether its less or more than the minimum area of steel.
