The option to define stirrups in generic section columns has been implemented. The stirrups that are defined are measured and detailed in reports and drawings. The program does not carry out a shear check on these type of columns.
Different stirrup layouts can be defined for each longitudinal reinforcement arrangement that has been defined for a section.
When a stirrup arrangement is added or edited, users access the stirrup layout editor which contains different tools to define the stirrups and crossties that join the longitudinal reinforcement bars.
Users can place closed stirrups, open stirrups and different types of crossties. Crossties can have a different diameter to that of the stirrups.
After selecting the type of stirrup or crosstie, users have to select the longitudinal bars to be joined and finish off by clicking on the right mouse button.
In “Results”, the spacing of the stirrups can be defined in the columns table, as well as the stirrup densification zones. Users can also view the details and consult the 3D view of the reinforcement.
