Hi! I am a little confused about mentioning the reinforcement details in the figure showing the skeleton of my 2D RC frame. It has 32 columns (in which case I can show half the structure since it's symmetric. Thus, 16 columns are shown) and 24 beams. Should I mention the reinforcement details in the figure like the one attached, or is it fine to only mention the dimensions of each member?

There is absolutely no need to "mention reinforcement details for all members of a building structure in figures for research papers". Research paper is not an album of the design drawings. In research paper you must draw attention of the readers on the main scientific an engineering findings of your work and in this case you must show the achievements you have reached based on the designed by you building.
