Stirrups

When the Concrete Cross Check is finished, the calculation of the bar position takes place. The results of the bar position are represented in the window "Bar position" with a table for every type of reinforcement (Top, Bottom, Surface, Hairpins, Stirrups).

Concrete bar position: stirrups

 

The dependency and the position of every combination of reinforcement is described in the first three columns of this tab. The next two columns show the number of bars and the type of reinforcement. X-b and X-e indicate the beginning and the and of the reinforcement zone. The last two columns represent the capacity of the forces Vd and the bearing capacities Vu.

There are two methods to influence the division of the stirrups in the table. The numbers of the stirrups, the type of reinforcement and the end of the basket can be changed. The basket is positioned between two supports.
