CODEDESIGN: Design (ULS + SLS)

Perform the entire reinforcement design according to Eurocode.

This includes the design of the required reinforcement due to bending + normal force as well as shear + torsion and brittle failure in the ULS (ultimate limit state), and the design of the required crack reinforcement in the SLS (serviceability limit state).

In this check the required longitudinal and stirrup reinforcement due to the given envelope is evaluated for the elements assigned by assemblies and stored under the given result name.

Parameters

Day (day)

Day in the construction phases at which the stress calculation should be performed

Result name (resname)

Result name; user-defined name under which the results of the design by means of the required reinforcement areas should be stored

Type of check

Flexure (flexure)

Option to perform the design due to bending

Brittle failure (brittle)

Option to perform the design against brittle failure

Shear (shear)

Option to perform the design due to shear

Torsion (torsion)

Option to perform the design due to torsion

Crack control (crack)

Option to perform the design in regard to the limitation of crack widths

Additional parameters and inputs

Theta (theta)

Angle used in the shear and torsion design based on the variable angle truss model

Detailing (detailing)

Option to apply detailing rules for reinforcement

ULS Combinations and Groups

ULS (env)

Name of the envelope/combination/combination group for which the design in the ULS should be performed

SLS Combinations and Groups

Characteristic (env1)

Name of the envelope/combination/combination group which should be taken as the characteristic combination for the respective design in the SLS

Frequent (env2)

Name of the envelope/combination/combination group which should be taken as the frequent combination for the respective design in the SLS

Quasi-permanent (env3)

Name of the envelope/combination/combination group which should be taken as the quasi-permanent combination for the respective design in the SLS

Rare (env4) [only if DIN EN is selected]

Name of the envelope/combination/combination group which should be taken as the rare combination for the respective design in the SLS

The evaluated results can be addressed by their result names in the result presentation (tab Design Checks in the Result Data in Results).

Calculation assumption:

• The evaluation of the reinforcement is only done in the areas with respectively defined property sets of the respective type.
• It is assumed that the reinforcement is equally distributed along the length of the property set defined for the reinforcement.
• The maximum allowable amount of reinforcement and the minimum distances between the bars according to the standard are considered.
