Italian Code DM 9/1/96

For the Italian code DM 9/1/96 the following calculations are performed:

Beams

• Calculation of theoretical (required) reinforcement area for ULS and ALS (accidental limit state).
• Checking stresses for SLS.
• Calculation of cracking width.
• Calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing for shear forces.
• Conversion of theoretical (required) area to a number of bars.
• Conversion of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing to a modular spacing in a specified number of equal zones.

Columns

• Calculation of theoretical (required) reinforcement area for ULS taking slenderness for sway and non-sway frames into consideration.
• Calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing.
• Conversion of theoretical (required) area to a number of bars.
• Conversion of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing to a modular spacing along the length of a column.
