B. COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS

58 CHAPTER B: COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS Calculate Overall : performs checks on the mantle (based on the EPEQ) on all sides and displays the results per side Select side : you select side to run the checks on a side-by-side basis. Select the side to select the side, set the diameter of the bolts and select the "Calculate" button. The program automatically calculates all the required elements of the bolts for the given side. The results of the checks are displayed at the bottom of the window: At the beginning of the tests the intensive sizes of the pole at the top and base of the pole are displayed The shear strength values per direction are shown below based on § 8.2.2.2 of the CEE. And finally, the thickness of the jacket for the specific side is shown as well as all the sizes calculated for the projectiles. The program calculates the required number of bolts based on the intensity a minimum percentage based on the surface area of the mantle and places the largest one. In the above example the minimum number as a percentage is 13 while the number calculated is 18, which is the final number of missiles . NOTE: In the new version of SCADA Pro the command of deleting the reinforcements for the beams and poles respectively has been added. Pressing the "Delete" button deletes the mantle of the selected pole and recalculates the interaction diagrams.
