A. DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT

CHAPTER A : 'DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT' 15 The bars of the main reinforcement of the beam, top and bottom, as obtained from the dimensioning, as well as the square centimetres of the required and installed reinforcement, in the left-hand support, in the span and in the right-hand support, are indicated in the Bars field. Any change you make to bars automatically updates the square centimeters of installed reinforcement. You can change the number, diameter or even insert bars of two different diameters for the upper and lower bars. When the number of bars placed is less than or equal to the required number then the number of square centimetres of the placed bar is shown in the table enlarged and in bold red. OBSERVATIONS: NEW: If you modify the bending reinforcement, new strength moments result, thus there is a need to re-check at a satisfactory cutting moment. Press the key and VEd will now be Updated 2.2 Anchors After selecting the bars of the main reinforcement of the opening, proceed to the calculation of the anchorages.
