Creates typical longitudinal and tie reinforcement for a column.

Reinforcement created

Prestress strands for longitudinal reinforcement in a column
Mild longitudinal bars for longitudinal reinforcement in a column
Reinforcement for composite rectangular columns

Use for

Situation	More information
To define longitudinal prestress reinforcement size and location
To define longitudinal mild reinforcement size and extent
To define tie size and spacings

Before you start

Create the column.
Calculate the required area and quantity of strands and other reinforcement.
Define other reinforcement properties.
