B. COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS

42 CHAPTER B: COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS - area (in cases where the cross-section has more than one area, e.g. cross-section C, P), - direction (y, z) and - height (0: critical area above, 1: non-critical area, 2: critical area below) : by selecting the commands : On the cross-section, the cross-sectional area is shown with a cross-sectional area in Y or Z direction and a horizontal line shows the y or z direction, respectively. Thus you can easily distinguish regions and directions, and read without difficulty the results of the check, calculated according to these directions (regardless of the direction of the local axes of the cross-section). You can do as many checks as you like, simply by intervening in the table and changing either the diameter φ, the distances s, or the segments n.
