EXAMPLE 1. NEW BUILDING DESIGN FROM REINFORCED CONCRETE

EXAMPLE 1: 'REINFORCED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION STUDY' 86 In "Arming Preferences" you specify whether one or two reinforcement bars will be placed as common support reinforcement in the beams, whether you wish to take into account the bars of both openings in the support reinforcement, as well as the anchorage length by varying, if you wish, the support width of the beam. Select the command " Load Check>Total " dimension the beams in total for the whole building. The beams are coloured with the corresponding colour indicating the type failure and the initials K, D, S, d, pmax are written on their axis to indicate the type failure (K: Bending, D: Shear/Torsion, S: Connectors). ❖ Red . Bending failure. Maximum reinforcement rate ρmax exceeded. Dense Connectors. ❖ Pink . Shear/Torsion failure .. ❖ Cyan . The beam was dimensioned without any problem. Initials indicating the type of failure also appear on the beam. For this particular example, the dimensioning of the beams showed some failures for exceeding the maximum reinforcement percentage in the supports marked "p".
