This option is used to define the reinforcement to be generated in prefabricated slabs. You can select two types of reinforcement of prefabricated slabs:
- by means of reinforcing bars
- by means of wire fabrics.
Access the option by clicking Next, after choosing the reinforcement by means of reinforcing bars. The following dialog displays:
The following parameters should be specified :
- Reinforcing steel grade
- Reinforcement cover
- Parameters of main reinforcement:
o bar diameter f
o spacing of main reinforcement bars S1
o length L1 used to connect the neighboring prefabricated slabs
- Parameters of structural reinforcement:
o bar diameter f
o spacing of structural reinforcement bars.
For main and structural reinforcement, based on the adopted reinforcement parameters, the reinforcement area per meter is calculated.
After choosing the reinforcement by means of wire fabrics the Prefabricated slabs - Reinforcement dialog displays.
The following parameters should be specified for the reinforcement by means of wire fabrics:
- Wire fabric type
- Reinforcing steel grade
- Reinforcement cover
- Wire fabric parameters:
o reinforcement lap splices R and r
o length L1 used to connect the neighboring prefabricated slabs.
After defining the parameters of the prefabricated slab reinforcement , click Next. The Prefabricated slabs - Drawing Parameters dialog displays.
An example of distribution of prefabricated slabs is shown below. A drawing of (bar or wire fabric) reinforcement may be generated for any slab.
