10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

First you determine the minimum main reinforcement of the upper opening. You enter the number and select the diameter of the bar and do the same for the reinforcement of the lower opening. You then determine the maximum diameter of the bars. Next, you select the minimum and maximum diameter of the main reinforcement bars to be used in the supports and struts. Finally, you specify the minimum diameter to be used for the crack reinforcement. In the max Width option, you specify the maximum distance above which two support rods are placed, and below which one common rod is placed. Activate the checkbox for the program to homogenize the reinforcement in the opening and supports. This means that it puts the same reinforcement in the span and the supports and is usually used in beams with short lengths. • IMPORTANT NOTE: COMMON APERTURE ARMAMENT: Activate the checkbox so that the reinforcement in the spans is common for the whole beam. In the course of the implementation of the single reinforcement in the beams with common reinforcement of a certain length, the program places the additional bars of the supports according to criteria. There are two ways of placing the additional reinforcement of supports.
