Predefined reinforcement spans in beams

The "Predefined reinforcement spans" menu, within the "Beams" menu of the "Beam input" tab or the "Results" tab, allows you to create or delete predefined reinforcement sections in multi-beams.

A predefined reinforcement section in the set of beams that make up a composite beam is one in which the positive and negative reinforcement is continuous.

The menu offers the following options:

Assign

The "Assign" option allows you to create a predefined reinforcement section in each of the multi-beams that are subsequently selected, either with the left button or by means of a capture area.

Each poliviga selected in this way constitutes an independent, predefined reinforcement section.

In this way, when analysing and assembling the frames, the program will apply continuous reinforcement to each predefined reinforcement section created.

Assignment of a predefined reinforcement section to a composite beam (1). In the second composite beam (2), a predefined reinforcement section remains unassigned.
Assembling the polybeam (1) after creating a predefined reinforcement section
Armed the polybeam (2) without creating a predefined reinforcement section

Delete

The "Delete" option allows you to ungroup the reinforcement of all beams in a predefined reinforcement section created previously. After using this option, you will need to re-analyse or re-reinforce the frames to generate the reinforcement of the beams independently.
