Reinforcement

 

The physical nonlinear calculation of the reinforced concrete and steel fibre concrete can be analysed without reinforcement or with user (real) defined reinforcement for 1D and 2D members. There is possible to defined following type of user reinforcement for 1D member:

• REDES reinforcement - user input reinforcement via icons below

• PRAD reinforcement - it is reinforcement converted from provided reinforcement via action button Conversion for real bars in command Concrete 1D reinforcement design
• FREE bars is user reinforcement with general geometry

There is possible to defined following type of user reinforcement for 2D member:

• 2D reinforcement - user input reinforcement via meshes
• FREE bars is user reinforcement with general geometry

The area of user defined reinforcement which is using in PNL can be multiplied by coefficient Coefficient for increasing the amount of reinforcement, which can be set globally in Concrete setting or locally for each 1D or 2D member in concrete member data

Coefficient for increasing the amount of reinforcement is used for PNL calculation and for calculation deflection of 1D and 2D member with using CDD calculation
