Reinforcement strand properties
Use the Strand pattern properties to view and modify the properties of strands. The file name extension of the properties file is .rbs.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| General | |
| Numbering | Mark series of the strand. |
| Name | User-definable name of the strand. Tekla Structures uses strand names in reports and drawing lists, and to identify strands of the same type. |
| Grade | Steel grade of the strand. |
| Size | Diameter of the strand. Depending on the environment, the nominal diameter of the strand, or a mark that defines the diameter. |
| Bending radius | Internal radius of the bends in the strand. You can enter a separate value for each bend. Separate the values with spaces. |
| Class | Use to group reinforcement. For example, you can display strands of different classes in different colors. |
| Pull per strand | Pre-stress load per strand (kN). |
| Number of cross sections | Number of cross sections of the strand pattern. For example:
In this double-tee beam, the number of cross sections is 4:
|
| Debonding | |
| Debonded strands | Enter the strand number. The strand number is the selection order number of the strand. |
From start Middle to start Middle to end From end |
Enter the length of the debonding. If you select the Symmetry check box, values from From start and Middle to start are copied to From end and Middle to end. |
| Symmetry | Define whether the end and start lengths are symmetrical. |
| Custom properties | |
| More | You can create user-defined attributes to add information about reinforcement. Attributes can consist of numbers, text, or lists. You can use the values of user-defined attributes in reports and drawings. To set values for user-defined attributes, click the More button. You can also change the name of the fields, and add new ones, by editing the objects.inp file. See Define and update user-defined attributes (UDAs). |
