Uniaxial method for design
This method allows to design reinforcement only for normal force (NEd) and one bending moment (MEd). In case, that cross-section is loaded by bending moments around both axis’s, one bending moment is ignored:
- for method uniaxial around y, the bending moment MEdz is ignored, it follows that reinforcement is designed only for normal forces NEd and bending moment MEdy
- for method uniaxial around z, the bending moment MEdy is ignored, it follows that reinforcement is designed only for normal forces NEd and bending moment MEdz
The results of uniaxal method depend on type of member:
- for beams and beam as slab
- reinforcement is designed only at one or two edges (if compressive reinforcement is required or cross-section is loaded only by normal force)
- the reinforcement can be unsymmetrical
- for columns
- reinforcement is designed always at two edges and the reinforcement is symmetrical
- reinforcement is designed always at one layer
The position of reinforcement is calculated from parameters defined in Design defaults, see "Calculation position of reinforcement"
