Creating a new shear reinforcement template

The procedure to create a new shear reinforcement template

  1. Open the Stirrup shape manager.

  2. Press button [New].

  3. The Cross-section manager is opened on the screen.

  4. Select the required cross-section shape.

Note: It is not necessary to select directly the cross-section for which the template will be used. It is important to select appropriate cross-section shape. E.g. if a template for T-section is being designed, select any T-section existing in the project. If such a cross-section does not exist in the current project, define it now.

  1. Close the Cross-section manager.

  2. The Stirrup shape dialogue is opened on the screen.

  3. Input the stirrup or stirrups into the cross-section (read chapter "Defining the shape of a new stirrup" for details).

  4. Close the Stirrup shape dialogue.

  5. The new template is added to the current template database.

  6. Repeat steps 2 to 9 as many times as required.

  7. Close the Stirrup shape manager.
