Longitudinal bar calculation

Configuration Brick slab: Reinforcement + Concrete Brick Slab: Reinforcement + Suspended Brick Slab: Reinforcement

'Longitudinal bars 1' tab

Rounding option:

Rounding of longitudinal bar lengths:

Don’t: Bar lengths will not be rounded off.

Exact: 1-4 = round down; 5-9 = round up

Round up: Bars will be rounded up to the rounding value.

Round down: Bars will be rounded down to the rounding value.

Rounding value:

[m] The program rounds off to this value.

Minimum length:

[m] Shorter bar lengths are omitted.

Cut with recess:

[m] Minimum length / Minimum width

If a recess is smaller than the value entered, then the longitudinal bars are not cut with the recess.

'Longitudinal bars 2' tab

The following parameters are available for bars in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd layers:

Bending shape is:

invalid / valid

A bending shape defined at an edge can be used or removed from the longitudinal bars in the appropriate layer.

Bar projection:

As entered: Uses the projection defined for an edge. If the bar projection is 0, the program uses the following fixed value.

Use fixed value: Regardless of the projection defined for the edge, the program uses the following fixed value unless manual entry produces an applicable shortening value.

Fixed value (bar projection = 0):

[m] Fixed value for the bar projection at panel edges. The program uses this value, even if the bar projection is zero.

Bar projection at recesses:

[m] Fixed value for the bar projection at recess edges. The program uses this value only if neither a smart fixture symbol nor manual entry produces an applicable value.
