B. COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS

69 CHAPTER B: COLUMN REINFORCEMENT DETAILS Also, the fields "Length", "Width" and "Not involved in bending" are disabled because there is no such thing as a reinforcement with IOP "open", i.e. it is always placed in the whole cross-section and always involved. Also, the "Anchoring" field, which was needed for the calculation of σjd2, was disabled and is no longer calculated and not taken into account if the reinforcement is closed. Finally, a new field was created to enter the radius of curvature of the edges, a quantity required for the calculation of the new compressive strength and the new maximum deformations of the concrete due to confinement. This new compressive strength and the two newmaximum deformations of the concrete are now indicated on the printout of the existing section
