Name Description
Constructions
Deformation

Specifies the deformation parameter for the selected bar type (deformed or plain). This parameter is taken into account in analysis.

Rounding Overrides Specifies the rounding parameters for the selected bar type. This overrides the rounding parameters defined in the Rebar Instance Properties dialog.
Note: This parameter is available only if reinforcement rounding was specified in the project.
Graphics
Subcategory Used to provide graphic overrides of rebar by subcategory. To create a new subcategory, click Manage tabSettings panelObject Styles. In the Structural Rebar category add new subcategories beneath the main category.
Materials and Finishes
Material Specifies rebar materials. Select materials in the Materials dialog.
Dimensions
Bar Diameter Specifies the diameter of the selected bar type. Refer to the images in Rebar Hook Length Parameters.
Standard Bend Diameter Specifies the diameter of non-hook bends for the selected bar type. Refer to the images in Rebar Hook Length Parameters. This parameter does not affect rebar shape.
Standard Hook Bend Diameter Specifies the diameter of hook bends for the selected bar type. Refer to the images in Rebar Hook Length Parameters. This parameter does not affect rebar shape.
Stirrup/Tie Bend Diameter Specifies a rebar bend diameter that can be either a standard bend or stirrup/tie bend. This parameter defines the radii for the selected bend type. Refer to the images in Rebar Hook Length Parameters.
Hook Lengths Specifies hooks based on a specific bar type. Click Edit to open the Rebar Hook Length dialog. Refer to the images in Rebar Hook Length Parameters.
Maximum Bend Radius Specifies the Maximum Bend Radius for rebar schedules. Its purpose is to compensate for rebar that is bent in the field due to larger bend diameters.
