Use this option to modify reinforcing bars (longitudinal reinforcement) in the longitudinal section of an RC structure element. There are several ways to access this option:
- Menu: Reinforcement > Modify > Reinforcement
- Ribbon: ASD - Reinforcement > Modify > Modify reinforcement
- Toolbar: Modify > Modify reinforcement
- Command line: RBCR_MOD_REINF.
After activating the option and selecting longitudinal reinforcement, the following dialog displays:
The following parameters of a reinforcing bar (longitudinal reinforcement) can be modified:
- Bar diameter (the current diameter of a reinforcing bar is presented in the edit field).
- Reinforcing bar cover (the current cover of a reinforcing bar is presented in the edit field).
- Steel grade (the current steel grade is chosen from the selection list).
- Shape parameters (parameters of anchors of reinforcement ends): hook angle and hook length. You can lock a hook length by selecting the option next to the edit field for defining a hook length (
appears); the edit field becomes inaccessible. If you modify parameters (length or diameter) of a bar with locked hook length, the hook length does not change.
