Editing a general layer of longitudinal reinforcement

If a layer of longitudinal reinforcement is required to be broken into separate reinforcement bars, it may be done in the Detail layer property dialogue.

Graphical window

Cross-section	The cross-section is drawn here.
Reinforcement bars	Individual bars of reinforcement related to the edited layer are shown and numbered. The selected bar is always highlighted.

Sort by

The list of bars may be sorted by position numbers or by individual bars.

List of bars / position numbers

List of bars	Depending on item Sort by, the list shows either all individual bars or all position numbers in the current layer.
New	A new bar or new position number can be added to the edited layer.
Delete	Any item from the list may be deleted.

Structural shape

Position number	Shows the position number of selected reinforcement.
Profile	Sets the diameter of reinforcement bar.
Cover type	Specifies the cover type. The cover may be measured from the surface of longitudinal reinforcement to the surface of the stirrup or from the centre of longitudinal reinforcement to the centre of the stirrup.
Cover	Sets the cover size.
Coordinate definition	It is possible to define the bar position in absolute or relative coordinates.
Type of position	The coordinate may be measure from either side of the edge.
Distance type	The position of the bar can be measured: (i) between the surface of the bar and the surface of the stirrup, (ii) between the centre of the bar and the centre of the stirrup, (iii) between the centre of the bar and the surface of the stirrup.
Position	Specifies the position of the bar.

Note: Some of the items above are relevant to sorting by position numbers or by bars, respectively.

CAD Shape

Position number	Shows the position number.
Location	None No anchorage details are defined. Begin The anchorage is defined only for the beginning of the bar. End The anchorage is defined only for the end of the bar. Both The anchorage is defined only for both ends of the bar. The type and dimensions are the same for both ends. Both separately The anchorage is defined only for both ends of the bar. Each end has its own type and/or dimensions.
Type	Selects the anchorage type. See REDES Hooks for options.
"dimension"	Defines the anchorage length. The exact meaning of the parameter is clear from the guiding picture. In order to see the picture, position the mouse cursor on top of words Anchorage type and let the mouse steady for a while. The picture is shown.
Plane	Defines the direction of the hook/bend. Plane XZ The bar is bent in the direction of the local z-axis of the beam. The negative dimension means that the bend is against the direction of the z-axis. Plane XY The bar is bent in the direction of the local y-axis of the beam. The negative dimension means that the bend is against the direction of the y-axis. Perpendicular to edge The bar is bent so that it is perpendicular to the nearest surface of the beam and goes inside the beam. See paragraph Plane below the table.
Angle plane	Specifies the angle of the bend. See paragraph Plane below the table.
Permanent code check	The total anchorage length is permanently checked to satisfy the condition of the minimal length stipulated in the appropriate standard. That means that e.g. change of the diameter of the bar may result in the change of the anchorage length.
Total length	Shows the total bar length.
Set to code	Sets the parameters according to the regulations of the code assigned to the project.
Set default	Reads the default values.

Plane

The meaning of the parameters Plane and Angle plane is demonstrated in the following four pictures.
