'General' tab
Enter text to filter reinforcement types
You can filter the reinforcement types by entering a search criterion. You can specify a criterion for each data record in the reinforcement types catalog. You can limit the reinforcement types to those complying with the search criteria.
Transverse reinforcement is at least
You can increase the percentage of the cross bars, regardless of the reinforcement type. The program checks the percentage of the cross bars only if the value entered here is not 20%. If necessary, the program attempts to reduce the bar spacing of the second cross bar layer first. If the catalog does not include a second cross bar diameter, the program will use the first diameter defined in the diameter catalog. If the second bar diameter is explicitly not allowed (parameter), the spacing of the first layer will be reduced. The program will use the next diameter that is specified in the diameter catalog if the required spacing falls below the minimum spacing.
Prompt for as_req
(Check boxes) You can configure the program to prompt for the as_req element by element.
Use girders/meshes/reinforcing bars
(Check boxes) You can exclude reinforcement elements (as opposed to the settings in the catalog).
Production direction
You can select the production direction:
Attached reinforcement
You can select the ‘attached reinforcement’ type here. Attached reinforcement can be created as any reinforcement or based on reinforcement type. Attached reinforcement for BubbleDeck is always created as any reinforcement.
For hollow core elements, concrete slabs and BubbleDeck, you can make settings for attached reinforcement on the Att Reinf B (attached reinforcement at bottom) and Att Reinf T (attached reinforcement at top) tabs.
For half floors, only the Att Reinf B tab is available.
'Steel grades' tab
You can check and alter the steel grades that are preset in the configurations and saved with the placement or element. The steel grade for girders is taken from the girder catalog and cannot be altered.
You can enter the steel grade for reinforcing meshes and bars only if you have selected the check box for the relevant reinforcement element on the General tab.
'Lattice girders' tab
You can only enter something here if the type is set to half floor and the use of girders is selected on the General tab.
Rotate lattice girders
(Check box) You can specify whether lattice girders are rotated before they are placed. Girders are rotated by 180° about their longitudinal axis.
This setting is only available for attached reinforcement and affects the number of locked zones.
Note: Rotated lattice girders have no effect on the automatic feature for calculating panel thickness. Therefore, the diameter of the bottom boom is always used for lattice girders.
Include load capacity of girders
(Check box) You can specify whether or not the girder bottom booms are taken into account in the structural calculations.
Place one girder up to a panel width of …
If a panel is smaller than the value entered, the program places only one lattice girder; otherwise, it uses at least two lattice girders.
Distribution
(Radio buttons): only one button can be current at any one time:
Distribution based on factory data: the girder spacings used are from the girder spacing catalog.
Lock spacing to: the program uses the girder spacings entered here when reinforcing rather than those in the spacing catalog.
Lock edge offset to: the program uses the girder edge offsets entered here rather than those in the spacing catalog.
Lock spacing to .... and lock edge offset to: the program uses the girder spacings and edge offsets entered here when reinforcing rather than those in the spacing catalog.
Variable spacing entry: if this switch is selected, the program prompts for each spacing when reinforcing.
'Longit Bars' tab
You can only enter something here if the use of reinforcing bars is selected on the General tab.
Lock diameter
(Check box) If selected, then the diameter selected below is used for the longitudinal bars in the bottom layer. You should note though that the bar layers from the reinforcement types catalog do not apply to this. The program calculates the bar spacing from the required as-Value entered.
Lock spacing
(Check box) If selected, then the bar spacing selected below is used for the longitudinal bars in the bottom layer. You should note though that the bar layers from the reinforcement types catalog do not apply to this. The program calculates the bar diameter from the required as-Value entered.
If you want to deal with single bar layers only, irrespective of whether diameters or spacings are produced from the type catalog, select the desired value from the boxes below without selecting the check box.
Alternating shortening
(Check box) If selected, the program alternately shortens one side of the longitudinal bars so that they end within the panel.
'Cross Bars' tab
Similar to longitudinal bars, see above.
'Att Reinf B 'tab (attached reinforcement at bottom)
You can only enter something here if attached reinforcement is selected on the General tab.
Stagger longitudinal bars
When you select this check box, the largest possible number of longitudinal bars is shortened by the values specified (shortening percentage or shortening value - start/end); however, at least 50% of the bar cross-sectional area (as_req) extends up to the support. The shortening value is based on the start or end of the bar.
Spacing
You can specify the minimum and maximum axis and edge offsets of longitudinal bars and cross bars. The entries you make are used to calculate the bars of the attached reinforcement.
So that you do not have to enter the values from scratch each time, the program always proposes the values you entered last.
Assembly bars
You can specify whether and where assembly bars are created.
Percentage of longitudinal bars
Enter the percentage of the longitudinal bars.
Calculate shortening
Specify whether shortening is calculated as a percentage or based on fixed values.
Shortening percentage
Enter the shortening percentage provided you have set the 'Calculate shortening' option to 'percentage'.
Shortening value - start/end
Enter the corresponding values provided you have set the 'Calculate shortening' option to 'fixed'.
Alternating shortening
If this check box is selected, then the program attempts to alternately shorten the longitudinal bars at the start and end.
'Att Reinf T 'tab (attached reinforcement at top)
