It is possible to automatically design the amount of transverse shear reinforcement for each beam. This is achieved in Tekla Structural Designer by checking the Auto-select option on the Transverse reinforcement tab of the Composite Beam Properties.
Note: The Auto-select option for designing transverse shear reinforcement is only available when the beam is in auto-design mode.
If you are checking a beam, then you must specify the transverse shear reinforcement that you will provide, and then check out this arrangement.
The auto-selected bars can be tied into the stud group spacing by checking the Bar spacing as a multiple of stud spacing option. Alternatively, the spacing can be controlled directly by the user.
