B. COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS

40 CHAPTER B: COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS 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 In addition, if, during the initial sizing, the number of sections of the The number of fasteners taken into account by the program in the initial shear and tension check is always n=2 (worst case) for both directions, with no possibility at this stage to take into account the actual sections per direction. This can be done in the retest. For the Recheck on Bend: . you activate the checkbox and . select the command The program re-checks in biaxial bending based on the bars you have placed and displays the message "Failed" or shows you the numbers of combinations where the cross-section fails at the beginning and end respectively. ATTENTION The biaxial bending recheck concerns only the equilibrium of the cross-section with the given reinforcement (adequacy check) without examining the other restrictions of the regulation (minimum bar spacing, maximum percentage of reinforcement in the cross-section, etc.). In other words, it is possible that the program may show a failure in bending in the initial dimensioning and that in the re-check the same cross-section, with the same bending reinforcement, may show that it is sufficient. This means that the initial dimensioning showed failure either by exceeding the maximum percentage of reinforcement or by exceeding the maximum number of bars. The type of failure is also shown in the record of the investigation at the end of the biaxial bending test. For the Shear Recheck: . you activate the checkbox and . select the command to populate the table below, updated with the modifications you have made.
