CHAPTER A : 'DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT' 19 If you wish to modify armatures, simply click on the and the new drum diameter will be calculated automatically IMPORTANT OBSERVATION: One difficulty that customers have had to date was that in existing buildings and in beams, they could not place more reinforcement in the opening than in the supports. The logic of the project is that the main (original) reinforcement of the span is always taken into account in the supports as well. So in the case where, for example, there are 4Φ14 in the opening below and 2Φ14 in the supports below, you can now in the beam reinforcement details place 2Φ14 opening reinforcement below (which also reaches the supports) and the remaining 2Φ14 of the opening can be placed as additional reinforcement in the opening. This placement is done from the " Additional " option where you specify the number and diameter of the additional The bars are drawn from the centre of the beam on either side and therefore it is mandatory to give both lengths l1 which determine whether these bars will be taken
