A. DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT

CHAPTER A : 'DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT' 41 Then and from the field: • "General data" Select from the list the type of reinforcement to use for the selected beam - The activation of the command means that for the calculation of the adequacy of the reinforcement, the intensive sizes to be used in each position (support left, span, support right) will be the most unfavourable from the whole length of the beam. Otherwise, the check shall be made with the intensities of the specific position. In both cases the reinforcement must be inserted in all 3 positions of the beam. - Enter the Coating (when of course it is a sheathing, or additional layers of reinforced concrete). - Activate and enter the Thickness of the plate in case of a slab cross-section tau. If you want a Gamma cross-section slab, simply enter the thickness of the slab and do not check the "Taut" option. For zero plate thickness, whether the tau is active or not, the cross-section of the beam will be rectangular. • "Performance level" You set the Performance Level you have chosen for your build: • "Accessibility" You define the accessibility of your construction according § 4.5.3.2 of the EIA.
