Select the Reinforcement tab in the Reinforcement Areas dialog to select quantities of slab and shell reinforcement for presentation.
The following values may be selected.
Individual columns denote the following.
Y [-]: Bottom reinforcement in the Y direction
Y [+]: Top reinforcement in the Y direction
Z [-]: Bottom reinforcement in the Z direction
Z [+]: Top reinforcement in the Z direction.
The locations of bottom and top reinforcement in a panel are adopted according to the orientation of the z axis of the panel local system. This convention also holds for RC walls. For example, if the orientation of the z axis vector of the panel local coordinate system is as follows , then:
Top reinforcement:
Bottom reinforcement: .
