For the Italian code DM 14/1/2008 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.
