BAEL Code

For BAEL French code the following calculations are performed:

Beams

• Calculation of theoretical (required) reinforcement area for ULS and ALS (accidental limit state).
• Checking stresses for SLS states.
• Calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing as for shear forces.
• Re-calculation of theoretical (required) area to a bar number.
• Re-calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing to a modular spacing in a given number of equal zones.

Columns

• Calculation of theoretical (required) reinforcement area for ULS with taking slenderness into consideration (as for simple compression columns).
• Calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing.
• Re-calculation of theoretical (required) area to a bar number.
• Re-calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing to a modular spacing at the length of a column.
