Reinforcement design 1D - graphical output

 

Graphical output

When user presses button refresh then calculation is done and the results are displayed in 3D window as graph of values over length of selected members.Below is description of possible output values (see following figures).

Required

Type of values Required contain results related to the required reinforcement

As,req - The area of required longitudinal reinforcement including detailing provisions

Aswm,req - The area of required shear reinforcement including detailing provisions

UC (As,max) - The ratio between area of required longitudinal reinforcement and area of maximal allowed area from detailing provisions, UC (As,max) = As,req / As,max

UC (Aswm,max) - The ratio between area of required shear reinforcement and area of maximal allowed area from detailing provisions, UC (Aswm,max) = Aswm,req / Aswm,max

As,req (ϕ) - The area of required longitudinal reinforcement displayed as: "number of bars ϕ diameter of bars"; when * - minimal amount of reinforcement from detailing provision is used, when n/a - UC( As,max) > 1, reinforcement exceed maximal allowed area from detailing provisions and cannot be transformed to number of bars

Aswm,req (ϕ/m) - The area of required shear reinforcement displayed as: "ϕ diameter of stirrup / longitudinal spacing of stirrups, (number of stirrup cuts)"

Provided

Type of values Provided contain results related to the provided reinforcement

As,add,req - The area of additional required longitudinal reinforcement. It is needed to add to provided reinforcement if it is insufficient. As,add,req = As,req - As,prov. Displayed only if As,req > As,prov. The design goal is to have zero in this value. In that case will be all required reinforcement covered by provided reinforcement.

As,prov - The area of provided longitudinal reinforcement. Sum of the basic and additional reinforcement

UC (As,req) - The ratio between area of required longitudinal reinforcement and area of provided longitudinal reinforcement, UC (As,req) = As,req / As,prov

UC (As,max) - The ratio between area of provided longitudinal reinforcement and area of maximal allowed area from detailing provisions, UC (As,max) = As,prov / As,max

As,prov (ϕ) - The area of provided longitudinal reinforcement displayed as: "number of basic bars ϕ diameter of basic bars + number of additional bars ϕ diameter of additional bars"

As,add,req (ϕ) - The area of additional required longitudinal reinforcement displayed as: "number of bars ϕ diameter of bars"

Required ∩ Provided

The results for required and provided reinforcement together

As,req - The area of required longitudinal reinforcement including detailing provisions - same graph as in Required type of values

As,req ∩ As,prov - The areas of required and provided longitudinal reinforcement together

 

As,prov - The area of provided longitudinal reinforcement. Sum of basic and additional reinforcement - same graph as in Provided type of values
