Hi. I have question regarding additional reinforcement from torsion and shear loads in RM Bridge software.After calculating torsion and shear effect, and getting required additional longitudinal reinforcement due to these loads, do we add up these two additional reinforcement and add it to the bending required reinforcement? Or do we choose the biggest one of these three?RegardsIvana
Hi, according to EC2 the following should be considered:
The shear longitudinal reinforcement type will have the area value obtained from this calculation and the longitudinal reinforcement type will get the total area value, considering bending too.
