To generate dowel reinforcement in a spread footing, under Dowel definition, select Dowels. You can then define parameters of dowel reinforcement:
Dowel definition
- Cover value c - depends on a definition of stirrups (if they are defined in the pier), because dowels are distributed inside stirrups.
Dowel parameters and type
- Dowel type for a rectangular cross-section
- Dowel type for a circular cross-section
- Steel grade (family)
- Diameter and material of bars
- Hook type (top)
- Hook type (bottom)
Number of bars
- Adjoining column of a rectangular cross-section
- nb - along the shorter side
- nb - along the longer side
- Adjoining column of a circular cross-section
- nn - number of bars for circumferential distribution
Anchorage lengths (defined as multiples of a bar diameter or as absolute values)
- In column
- ln spread footing
