This paper is an overview of the traditional method of strength design of reinforced concrete sections. The procedure, presented in the current textbooks, dates from the 50's of XX century and it can be simplified. In this work the approach is reformulated and presented in a more compact way, which implies a change both from the educational point of view and from the professional point of view of reinforced concrete. Theorem of Optimal Reinforcement of RC Sections confirms that the ingenious solutions proposed by Whitney and Wuczkowsky correspond to the minimum of a general problem that can be developed more rationally. Presenting the problem in compact form, using diagrams RSD allowed to choose alternative solutions of reinforcement with reduced environmental impact.
