Stirrups

There are several parameters of transversal reinforcement (stirrups) defined in the Reinforcement of beams dialog:

  • Stirrup parameters
  • Stirrup type
  • Type, diameter, and material of bars
  • Hooks
  • Cover value c (defined for each stirrup type)
  • Value of the parameter a (defined for third and fourth stirrup types): ,
  • Constructional bars of anti-shrinkage reinforcement

Stirrups and longitudinal bars (at the center of the cross-section height)

  • Type, diameter, and material of horizontal bars
  • Type, diameter, and material of stirrups (longitudinal bars in the middle of the section height)
  • Hooks
  • Cover value
Note: For anti-shrinkage reinforcement, you can define:
  • the same distribution as for stirrups
  • the distribution with a constant, user-defined spacing.
