During calculations of provided (real) reinforcement in RC modules, messages informing you about the calculation run may display. The messages depend on a code and a type of an RC structure element being designed.
Messages are grouped by individual elements of RC structures
Beams and Continuous Footings
|
No results of static analysis, Incorrect results of static analysis |
Appears if FEM calculations are incorrect. |
| Number of reinforcement columns has been increased because of fire rating conditions Number of reinforcement columns has been increased because of fire rating conditions Number of reinforcement layers has been increased because of fire rating conditions The quantity of transversal reinforcement has been augmented due to slanting cracks The quantity of longitudinal reinforcement has been augmented due to perpendicular cracks |
Reinforcement modification not being directly connected with the section capacity requirements. They have no effect on calculation results. |
|
Cover does not satisfy fire rating conditions Beam width does not satisfy fire rating conditions Cover does not satisfy requirements for the given environment Cross-section dimensions are too small due to the seismic requirements |
Verification of geometry due to: fire rating, environment class or seismic reiquirements. |
|
Hook length of the transversal reinforcement is too small Problems with reinforcement arrangement Insufficient splice reinforcement area Insufficient reinforcement area of bent bars owing to suspended load |
Verification of a generated reinforcement due to code requirements or geometry. |
|
Short cantilever |
Cantilever dimensions classified as short. |
|
Torsion moment will not be taken into account in the calculations Axial force will not be taken into consideration in calculations |
The effects ignored in calculations that may affect the calculation result. |
|
Code combinations: Relations have not been defined Code combinations: Load combinations have not been generated Code combinations: Simple loads have not been defined Number of combinations exceeds 32000 |
Concerned with code combinations |
Columns
|
Reinforcement percentage exceeds # value # Minimum column section dimension < # value # Slenderness lambda exceeds # value # No bars of diameter > # value # on the longitudinal reinforcement list No bars of diameter > # value # on the lateral reinforcement list |
Exceeding values allowed by the code |
|
Unsatisfactory load capacity of the column |
Column design (geometry, material, etc.) defined by the user is impossible. |
|
Slender column (bi-axial bending): a detailed analysis is necessary Column with bi-axial bending: it has been designed as a short one |
Effects that may affect the calculation result |
|
Seismic disposition: using bars with hooks is not allowed! |
Due to seismic requirements, incorrect definition of reinforcement anchorage. |
|
Note: Tension force in the column! |
Tension force acting in a column. Has no effect on the calculation results. |
Spread Footings
In the module of spread footing design, the following group of errors may be distinguished:
- Errors warning that the code conditions of geometrical design have not been satisfied. There is no possibility to fulfill the following conditions:
- soil capacity
- foundation uplift in ULS (SLS, ALS)
- foundation sliding
- foundation rotation about axis X (Y)
- foundation punching
- foundation shear
- foundation lifting
- average foundation settlement
- difference in foundation settlements
- Errors about the arrangement of reinforcement resulting from geometry or code requirements of distribution:
- collision of the pier with top reinforcement of the footing, Rp > h2
- lack of possibility to distribute reinforcement in the footing
- necessity to provide top reinforcement in the footing
- insufficient horizontal reinforcement of the pier
- exceeded maximum reinforcement ratio in the pier.
