Edit reinforcement

This window is suitable for the input of longitudinal reinforcement in pre-defined shapes (rectangular shape, T-shape, circle etc.). The reinforcement is defined with the help of rows specified by the cover from upper (part "Upper reinforcement") or lower (part "Bottom reinforcement") edge of the cross-section. Any changes are automatically visible in the cross-section view in the right part of the window. Bars may be specified with the help of bars count ("Number") or bars spacing ("Distance"). In this case, the bars count for the member is calculated as a ratio of cross-section width in given height and the distance between bars. This input style is common mainly for slabs and walls, where the one linear meter of the structure is usually analysed and the bar spacing doesn't respect this notional dimension

Only one reinforcement row along the cross-section perimeter is available for circular cross-sections (circle, annulus).

Cover

Required cover of longitudinal reinforcement can be calculated in this part. these options are available:

Button "Check of cover" runs the control of minimum cover for the bar.

Information

Bottom part of the window shows the verification of structural rules (described in the chapter "Structural rules").

Reinforcement positioning

The bars in rows have may follow these two options of horizontal alignment:

Bottom edge of the window shows the value "Utilization by bending" that shows actual result of longitudinal reinforcement verification. This value is updated automatically adfter any change in the reinforcement input.
