Longitudinal bars configuration entry

Configuration Half Floor: 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.

Remove alternate bar projection and bending shape at start/end of bar:

If this check box is selected, the program removes the bar projection and bending shape alternately from the start or end of the bar.

The first bar is shortened:

anywhere, at end of bar, at start of bar

Use this to specify where the bar projection and bending shape are removed from the first bar.

"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.

"Toothed edge" tab

Longitudinal bars that do not fit inside the recesses of the crosswise shuttering within the specified tolerance will be cut off. In other words, they will have neither a bar projection nor a bending shape.

Enter the following values for longitudinal bars in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd layers in the configuration entry:

Tolerance:

[m] The tolerances applicable to the bars.

Bar spacing:

[m] Axis spacing of longit. bars

Edge offset:

[m] Offset to pallet edge.
