Provided library - Member types 1D
Generally there are different settings and possibilities dependently on member type (1D/2D).
Provided library for 1D members
Beam
Basically, there are supported several cross-section types for beams.
Rectangle
The format of definition of provided reinforcement for rectangular beam is defined by Upper / Lower / Side surface reinforcement. The basic reinforcement is defined via Diameter and Number of bars per specific surface. The area of bars is calculated automatically and it is not editable.
Additionally there is one option which determines predominant direction of reinforcement. This possibility is in selection of main direction of reinforcement Main reinf in Y dir / Main reinf in Z dir
| Main reinf. in Y direction | 
|
| Main reinf. in Z direction | 
|
T shape, L shape, I shape and Other
The format of T / L /I shape of cross-section is very similar to rectangular beam.
For T and L shape are available special distributions for shear and longitudinal reinforcement.

Column
There is used the same functionality for columns as for beams. Different options for distribution of reinforcement are available.
Rectangle
Rectangular cross-section is typical case of column with the following possible provided reinforcement template. Of course there is possible to set the option above to use predominant direction of reinforcement, see chapter "Definition layout of log.provided reinforcement for rectangle column"

| Corner |

| Number |

Circular
There is only one layer for definition of provided reinforcement for circular column.
Oval
Definition of provided reinforcement for Oval cross-section is similar to rectangular cross-section, but only Biaxial Y and Biaxial Z layouts are available.
Other
Definition of provided reinforcement for Other cross-section is different as for other cross-section. There is possible to define basic and additional reinforcement too
Beam slab
The same behaviour as for rectangle beam is used for beam slab. In this case only rectangular cross-section is supported and side reinforcement is not allowed.
Rules for input basic and additional reinforcement:
There are two following rules used in the library:
- The bars are uniformly distributed along the whole length of edge, if on neighbouring edges are not defined bars or only one bar is inputted on these edges
- The bars are not uniformly distributed along the whole length of edge, it follows that bar is not inputted to corner, where on neighbouring bar is inputted two or more bars
-
The same rules as for basic reinforcement are used, if on selected edge basic reinforcement is not defined
-
The bars of additional provided reinforcement have to be placed between bars of basic reinforcement, it follows if number of bars are even, the number of additional provided bars have to be odd and vice versa
