Combine two reinforcing bars or reinforcing bar groups into one
You can combine two single reinforcing bars or reinforcing bar groups into one. Reinforcing bars can be combined if their end points are connected, or the bars are parallel and close to each other. However, in certain cases it is possible to combine bars or groups that are not connected nor parallel. The combined reinforcement gets the same properties as the bar selected first.
Note:
You cannot combine Tapered N reinforcing bar groups.
