For British BS code the following calculations are performed:
Beams
- Calculation of theoretical (required) reinforcement area for ULS and ALS (accidental limit state).
- Calculation of cracking width.
- Calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing for shear forces.
- Re-calculation of theoretical (required) area to a bar number.
- Re-calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing to a modular spacing in a given number of equal sections.
Columns
- Calculation of theoretical (required) reinforcement area for ULS taking into consideration slenderness for sway and non-sway frames.
- Calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing.
- Re-calculation of theoretical (required) area to a bar number.
- Re-calculation of theoretical (required) stirrups spacing to a modular spacing at the length of a column.
