A. DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT

CHAPTER A : 'DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT' 17 1. For the EAK-EKOS scenario the minimum straight anchorage length remained exactly as it is intended and if it is greater than the width of the support minus the overlap, an error message is displayed. 2. For the EC2 w/o EC8 scenario as well as for all ECs with DCL and DCM plasticity classes it does not obey a minimum straight anchorage length lb, min, but the total length lbd is checked with lb, min σ according to 8.4.4 of EC2. So no error message will ever be displayed here because in case the anchorage length is greater than the width of the support minus the overlap, the iron will reach up to the cheek and then turn at the node. 3. For ECs with a high plasticity class it obeys the minimum straight anchorage length according to 5.6.2 of EC8 (as in ECOS). The error message will be displayed accordingly as in case 1 of ECOS. 2.2.2 Procedure for calculating the minimum drum curvature diameter. The new version of the program has fully integrated the harmonisation of regulations for the calculation of the minimum required curvature drum diameter. Fm: Drum diameter Camp: along curved section EXAMPLE Calculation of anchor length of F18 rod anchorage in C30 concrete in EC8, DCM scenario At an end node with a 60cm wide column we will see how to calculate the curvature drum of the upper reinforcement bar Φ18 in C30/37 concrete. First, we assume that it is in unfavourable conditions so the relevance voltage is calculated by the factor n1=0.7 Coefficients αi are obtained α1 = α2 = α3 = α4 = α5 = 1.00
