Design defaults

Design defaults is a special group of properties where user can define the basic parameters (diameter of longitudinal and shear reinforcement, type of value of concrete cover...) for design of longitudinal and shear reinforcement. This setting can be done in Concrete setting (if 1D concrete member data is not defined) or directly in 1D concrete member data.

Concrete setting	1D concrete data

Four type of 1D members with different design defaults parameter are supported in SCIA Engineer:

• Beam / Rib - member predominantly loaded by bending moments, for which longitudinal and shear reinforcement can be designed. There are the following parameters:
  • Longitudinal reinforcement
    • Provided (basic and additional) reinforcement library
    • type of cover of upper and lower reinforcement (auto or user defined value)
    • type of cover of side reinforcement (upper, lower or user define value)
    • material of longitudinal reinforcement (only in 1D concrete data)
  • Stirrups
    • diameter of stirrups
    • number of cuts (number of shear links)
    • angle of shear reinforcement
    • material of shear reinforcement (only in 1D concrete data)
    • basic (user defined stirrup) - where user can defined user value of area of shear reinforcement per meter with some angle and material of this reinforcement.

• Beam slab - member predominantly loaded by bending moments for which shear reinforcement is not designed (for example cut of 2D member).There are the following parameters:
• Longitudinal reinforcement
  • Provided (basic and additional) reinforcement library
  • type of cover of upper and lower reinforcement (auto or user defined value)
  • material of longitudinal reinforcement (only in 1D concrete data)
• Column - member predominantly in compression for which longitudinal and shear reinforcement can be designed. There are the following parameters:
  • Longitudinal reinforcement
    • Provided (basic and additional) reinforcement library
    • type of cover of reinforcement (auto or user defined value)
    • material of longitudinal reinforcement (only in 1D concrete data)
  • Stirrups
    • diameter of stirrups
    • number of cuts (number of shear links)
    • material of shear reinforcement (only in 1D concrete data)

Design defaults in concrete setting:

• There is possibility to define design defaults for all types of 1D member (beam, rib, column, beam slab)
• the material of longitudinal and shear reinforcement is not possible to input/edit in this setting, but material is loaded from project data and it is same for all type of members

Design defaults in 1D concrete member data

• only design defaults of selected type of member can be edited in this setting
• material of shear and longitudinal reinforcement can be edited directly in concrete member data
