Commands from the command line - definition of transversal reinforcement

The following parameters are specified in the command line while defining a transversal bar:

Bar diameter or [Cover / Stirrup type / Define ] <6>: 8

Select option [Diameter / Cover / Stirrup type / Define ] <Define>:

Reinforcement diameter <8>:

Cover <5.5> : 6

Stirrup type: [Polygon / Round / Pin / Shackle / Base / Any ] <Polygon>:

• For a polygon-shaped stirrup the following parameters may be defined:

  Select option [DIagonal / Selection / INternal point] <Diagonal>:

  First corner

  Second corner or [Side / Back]

  Select object

  Hook location or [Side / Back]

  Internal point

  Hook location or [Side / Back]

• For a round stirrup the following parameters may be defined:

  Select option [2points / Selection / Internal point ] <Selection>:

  Circle center;

  Circle diameter or [Diameter / Side / Back ]<33>:

  Hook location

  Select object

  Hook location or [Side / Back]

  Internal point

  Hook location or [Side / Back]

• For a pin and shackle the following parameters may be defined:

  Select option [Points / BArs] <BArs>:

  Beginning point

  End point or [Side / Back]:

  First point

  Second point or [Side / Back]:}

  where:

  beginning point - the first point determining the shape of a bar (bar beginning)

  end point - the last point determining the shape of a bar

  side - determines on which side of a cross section contour of an RC element the current segment of reinforcement is to be located

  back - cancels the last command.

• For bars from database the following parameters are defined:

  Bar code or [Select from database]

  Beginning point

  Next point or [Side / Cover / 1hook / 2hook / Back]

  where:

  beginning point - the first point determining the shape of a bar (bar beginning)

  next point - next points determining the shape of a bar

  side - determines on which side of a cross section contour of an RC element the current segment of reinforcement is to be located

  cover - value of a cover for the current segment of reinforcement

  1 hook - direction of the hook bending

  2 hook - direction of the hook bending (opposite to hook 1)

  back - cancels the last command.

• For a bar of arbitrary shape the following parameters may be defined:

  Beginning point

  Next point or [Side / Cover / 1hook / 2hook / Back]

  where:

  beginning point - the first point determining the shape of a bar (bar beginning)

  next point - next points determining the shape of a bar

  side - determines on which side of a cross section contour of an RC element the current segment of reinforcement is to be located (change of a bar position with respect to the line - points of definition to the opposite one)

  cover - value of a cover for the current segment of reinforcement

  1 hook - changes the direction of hook bending to the opposite

  2 hook - direction of hook bending

  back - cancels the last command.
