Country list |
Allows you to specify the country used for the reinforcement information. |
Reinforcement settings |
Allows you to adjust the Reinforcement Class and nominal cover settings applied to beam reinforcement: |
> Top / Bottom Longitudinal Bar Pattern
Buttons, commands, or options | Description |
---|---|
Longitudinal Bar Pattern |
Allows you to select a pattern to be viewed and modified. |
Longitudinal Default Pattern |
Allows you to select the pattern that is applied to new beams when they are first created. Note: The Longitudinal Default Pattern option cannot be used to change the pattern applied to
existing beams. Instead, you should modify the beam
properties.
|
Continuous Span tab |
Allows you to define how the selected longitudinal bar pattern is applied to continuous spans. An interactive diagram updates to match the changes you make.
Note: The Top and Bottom Region fields dictate how many
design sections appear in the Tedds Calculation - a
different design section is required at each interface
between regions.
|
Pinned Span tab |
Allows you to define how the selected longitudinal bar pattern is applied to single pinned spans. An interactive diagram is also displayed and updates to match the changes you make. |
Cantilever |
Allows you to define how the selected longitudinal bar pattern is applied to cantilevers. An interactive diagram updates to match the changes you make. |

Normal |
When considering shear, the design shear checks are performed in each of 3 regions S 1 , S 2, and S 3. In each region, the maximum vertical shear from all load combinations is determined and this maximum value used to determine the shear reinforcement required in that region.
|
Cantilever |
In cantilevers, the design shear checks are performed in 2 regions S 1 and S 2.

Design Beams for FE Chasedown analysis results |
Allows you to specify that the beams are designed for the forces obtained from a previously performed FE chasedown analysis in addition to the forces obtained from the other analyses that have been performed. |
Design precast beams for lifting forces | Allows you to specify that the beams are also to be designed for lifting forces, (the lifting check being optional in the Tedds calculation). |

Design Columns for FE Chasedown analysis results |
Allows you to specify that the columns are designed for the forces obtained from a previously performed FE chasedown analysis in addition to the forces obtained from the other analyses that have been performed. |
Design precast column for lifting forces | Allows you to specify that the columns are also to be designed for a set of lifting forces, (the lifting check being optional in the Tedds calculation). |
