A. DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT

CHAPTER A : 'DETAILS OF BEAM REINFORCEMENT' 55 • Data entry in the "Left Party - Right Party" modules - As far as the geometry of the reinforcement is concerned, the same applies as for the pedals. - The non-participation of the plates in the bending moment is enabled because the side plates contribute mainly to the shear reinforcement of the cross-section. - The positioning of the lamellae may be uniform or in the form of continuous or discontinuous strips with gaps in between. So with Continuous Placement enabled, you set the width of each strip of reinforcement and for intermittent placement (inactive checkbox), you also set the distance between the stripes. • By selecting the Checks button, the program calculates and displays in the results, based on the cross-section of the laminate and the quality of the material, two minimum thicknesses t1 and t2 per side. OBSERVATION: You must re-adjust the thickness of the tyres based on the minimum t1 and t2 and redo the checks. But because the way to calculate the thickness t2 is an iterative process, by selecting the key: The program automatically calculates the final minimum thickness t2 required. But you must still import it and do the final checks. OBSERVATION: Adequacy of the laminate or EOP is achieved either by increasing the thickness or by increasing the number of layers. Select the Booklet command to enter the checks in the corresponding chapter of the Study Booklet.
