Bending

Select the Bending tab in the Columns dialog (Theoretical (required) reinforcement of bars - RC columns, beams). The following dialog displays.

The following quantities can be selected for a table of results of theoretical (required) reinforcement for structure bars.

• Reinforcement ratio.
  • Required reinforcement ratio determined in the calculations of the required (theoretical) reinforcement area.
  • Provided reinforcement ratio resulting from the assumed provided (real) reinforcement area.
• Reinforcement area.
  • Required - Top and bottom reinforcement area (for My and Mz moment).
  • Provided - Top and bottom reinforcement area (for My and Mz moment).
  • Maximum and minimum - Maximum and minimum reinforcement area defined in a given code. This is calculated by multiplying the minimum and maximum value of reinforcement ratio defined in the code by the area of the cross-section.
• Reinforcement distribution.
  • Top and bottom reinforcement distribution (7f10 means seven bars with diameter 10 mm) - for My and Mz moment
• Internal forces.
  • Design case - The case that is decisive for the bar design process (reinforcement area)
  • Combination definition - Definition of the combination that is decisive for the bar design process (reinforcement area)
  • Design moment My and Mz - Values of bending moments
  • Axial design force N - Longitudinal force values.

The bottom of the dialog contains the following options.

• Remarks - An additional column for commentaries concerning calculations of reinforcement area in particular bar cross-sections.
• All - All options in the tab will be presented.
• None - none of the options in the tab will be presented.
