Open service Concrete Advanced.
Start tree menu function 2D member > reinforcement 2D.
Select the slab into which you need to define the reinforcement.
The Reinforcement 2D dialogue is opened on the screen.
Fill in the required parameters – see below.
Confirm with [OK].
Input the region where the specified reinforcement is to be inserted.
End the function.
|
Name |
Specifies the name of the reinforced region. |
|
2D member |
Shows the name of the member. |
|
Type |
Bars The user defines numbers, diameters, etc. of bars in individual layers. See below for more information. Mesh The user selects a pre-defined reinforcement mesh (usually made by a stainless steel mesh manufacturer) from a library of reinforcement meshes. See below for more information. |
|
Material |
|
|
Surface |
Specifies the surface: lowed, upper. |
|
Number of directions |
The reinforcement can be laid in one or two perpendicular directions. |
|
Direction closest to surface |
Defines in which direction the layer of the reinforcement is closer to the surface. |
|
Angle of the first direction |
Specifies possible inclination of the first direction. |
|
Diameter *) |
Defines the diameter of the reinforcement bars. |
|
Concrete cover*) |
Defines the thickness of the cover. |
|
Bar distance*) |
Defines the distance of individual bars. |
|
Offset *) |
The zero offset means that the first bar is put directly along the edge of the reinforced region (usually a slab of subregion). Non-zero offset means that there is a gap between the first bar and the edge of the reinforced region. |
|
Reinforcement area*) |
(informative) Shows the total reinforcement area per one-metre-section of the slab. |
|
Total weight |
(informative) Shows the total weight of the reinforcement in the reinforced region. This item has no meaning in the input dialogue. It gives the correct value only when the existing reinforcement region is edited. |
*) Items marked by the asterisk must be defined separately for every direction of the reinforcement in the reinforced region.
|
Mesh |
Selects the required mesh from the library of reinforcement meshes. |
|
Material |
Defines the material for the reinforcement. |
|
Surface |
Specifies the surface: lowed, upper. |
|
Number of directions |
(informative) Informs about the number of directions of reinforcement in the selected mesh. |
|
Direction closest to surface |
Defines the direction in which the reinforcement is closer to the surface. |
|
Angle of the first direction |
Specifies possible inclination of the first direction. |
|
Diameter *) |
(informative) Specifies the diameter of the reinforcement bars. It is defined in the mesh library. |
|
Concrete cover *) |
Defines the thickness of the cover. |
|
Bar distance *) |
(informative) Specifies the distance of individual bars. It is defined in the mesh library. |
|
Offset *) |
The zero offset means that the first bar is put directly along the edge of the reinforced region (usually a slab of subregion). Non-zero offset means that there is a gap between the first bar and the edge of the reinforced region. |
|
Reinforcement area *) |
(informative) Shows the total reinforcement area per one-metre-section of the slab. |
|
Total weight |
(informative) Shows the total weight of the reinforcement in the reinforced region. This item has no meaning in the input dialogue. It gives the correct value only when the existing reinforcement region is edited. |
*) Items marked by the asterisk must be defined separately for every direction of the reinforcement in the reinforced region.
The reinforcement is always defined for a particular region. The reinforcement is distributed uniformly over this region. It is not possible to input separate bars of reinforcement. The shape of the reinforced region is defined by means of the following parameters.
