B. COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS

54 CHAPTER B: COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS • You set for the mantle Coating and Thickness , and apply the mantle either across the cross-section or by selecting the "Side" and pointing with the mouse to the corresponding side. In this way you can set different thicknesses per side. However, the coating shall be applied uniformly over the entire mantle. • The minimum thickness of the sheathing varies depending on the material (injected, shotcrete, special concrete) When the Thickness per side is different, select the " Side " command and point the mouse to the corresponding side. If it is the same across the cross-section select " Across the Cross-section ". In addition, you have the possibility to insert a Confinement Sheath (sheath section), reinforcing part of the cross-section by defining the corresponding Thicknesses and Lengths. You select the command " Confinement Mantle " and point the mouse at the side: EXAMPLE : In the above example, the overlap is 20 mm, the thickness of the main (vertical) side is 10 cm, the thickness and length of the first (upper) horizontal side is 8 cm and 50 cm respectively and the second (lower) horizontal side is 12 cm and 70 cm respectively.
