Examples of bar distribution in the reinforcement type catalog

N:50,200*15

50 mm edge offset, 200 mm axis spacing max. 15 times The entry of N: can also be omitted (see other examples)

-50,50,200*15

50 mm edge offset from one side, 50 mm edge offset from the other side, 200 mm axis spacing max. 15 times.

-50,-50,50,50, 200*15

2x50 mm edge offset from one side, 2x50 mm edge offset from the other side, 200 mm axis spacing max. 15 times.

-50*5,50*5,200*15

5x50 mm edge offset from one side, 5x50 mm edge offset from the other side, 200 mm axis spacing max. 15 times.

50, (100,200)*15

50 mm edge offset from one side, first axis spacing 100 mm, second axis spacing 200 mm, next offset another 100 mm and so on; the whole sequence max. 15 times.

S: 50,100*15

Start of placement in the middle: first offset in one direction 50 mm, then 100 mm max. 15 times. (This gives another offset of 100 mm in the middle)

S:0,100*15

Start of placement in the middle: 0 means that a bar is placed exactly in the middle.

K:50,100*15

Start of placement at the edge then towards the middle: 50 mm edge offset from one side, 50 mm edge offset from the other side, then 100 mm axis spacing up to middle max. 60 times.

Z:5

There are 5 bars equally spaced between the girders or ribs. This is only sensible for longitudinal reinforcement in half floors, TT slabs or double walls. Z: can also be omitted (conversion of ‘old catalogs).

U:-1

Places 1 bar under each girder or in each rib. Using this formula you must always enter a negative number of bars, allowing you to omit the U:.

U:-4.100

Places 4 bars spread over 10 cm under each girder or in each rib. Using this formula you must always enter a negative number of bars, allowing you to omit the U:.

U:-4.0

As in the previous example, but this time with the girder or rib width read from the catalog and the number of bars spread over this width under the girder or in the rib.

U:-4,0,20

As in the previous example, but this time with the girder or rib width read from the catalog, the value of the third parameter added and number of bars spread over this width under the girder or in the rib.
