Top

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

Concrete Bar position: top

 

The table Top is based on the bending moments envelope and the bearing capacity. In this table you can change the results of the bar positioning. Every bar has its own label. X-b and X-e indicate at which position the bar begins and ends. The length of the bending part of the bar (curved anchorage) is represented in the columns Y1-b and Y1-e. In case of bend bars, the radius is available in the column Radius. The necessary anchor length is represented in the column Anchor and the total length of the bar is represented in the column Length. The results of the code check and the bar position are displayed in the last column of the table. When the bar is not positioned correctly, the results come up with the message Not OK. This is explained in the tooltips of the last column.
