&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A selection of elements for performing the ultimate capacity check can be done Structure &amp;gt; Elements &amp;gt; Checks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following requirements already exist for performing these schedule actions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The relevant internal force state (ultimate limit state);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The required material properties (stress-strain diagrams);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The reinforcement groups (properties groups / attributes sets);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Any prescribed reinforcement amount can be defined in Structure &amp;gt; Elements &amp;gt; Checks;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The required reinforcement amount can be performed with the option Rein;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Definition of the prestressing tendons for prestressed structures.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-15/image002.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Figure 1:&lt;/strong&gt; Reinforcement Types in Modeler &amp;gt; Cross-sections &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cracking Reinforcement with Schedule Actions: CrackSup or CrackLc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These actions calculate the required additional reinforcement to meet the crack width design criteria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A selection of elements for performing these actions can be done Structure &amp;gt; Elements &amp;gt; Checks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crack width design usually defined in individual national codes includes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Verification of &lt;em&gt;minimum reinforcement&lt;/em&gt; area in the cross sections, A&lt;sub&gt;min&lt;/sub&gt;;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Limitation of crack width&lt;/em&gt; for the structural elements under the relevant loading combination, A&lt;sub&gt;load&lt;/sub&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reinforcement stress is calculated with presuming &lt;strong&gt;cracked conditions and nonlinear material&lt;/strong&gt; behavior.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-15/image004.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Longitudinal Reinforcement with Schedule Actions: UltSup, UltLc, CrackSup or CrackLc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With respect to functionality, Longitudinal bars can be considered in bending and cracking calculations and after they can be used to compute the reinforcement layout.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the reinforcement bars arrangement, RM Bridge has two types of solutions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bars uniformly arranged along a specified line (straight, polygonal or curved);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bars arranged in specified points.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reinforcement layout from view options, can be presented in the main window and results saved in in Excel&amp;nbsp;spreadsheet file and in *.lst file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-15/image006.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A selection of elements for performing the ultimate capacity check can be done Structure &amp;gt; Elements &amp;gt; Checks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following requirements already exist for performing these schedule actions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The relevant internal force state (ultimate limit state);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The required material properties (stress-strain diagrams);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The reinforcement groups (properties groups / attributes sets);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Any prescribed reinforcement amount can be defined in Structure &amp;gt; Elements &amp;gt; Checks;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The required reinforcement amount can be performed with the option Rein;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cracking Reinforcement with Schedule Actions: CrackSup or CrackLc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These actions calculate the required additional reinforcement to meet the crack width design criteria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A selection of elements for performing these actions can be done Structure &amp;gt; Elements &amp;gt; Checks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crack width design usually defined in individual national codes includes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Verification of &lt;em&gt;minimum reinforcement&lt;/em&gt; area in the cross sections, A&lt;sub&gt;min&lt;/sub&gt;;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Limitation of crack width&lt;/em&gt; for the structural elements under the relevant loading combination, A&lt;sub&gt;load&lt;/sub&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reinforcement stress is calculated with presuming &lt;strong&gt;cracked conditions and nonlinear material&lt;/strong&gt; behavior.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With respect to functionality, Longitudinal bars can be considered in bending and cracking calculations and after they can be used to compute the reinforcement layout.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the reinforcement bars arrangement, RM Bridge has two types of solutions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bars uniformly arranged along a specified line (straight, polygonal or curved);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bars arranged in specified points.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reinforcement layout from view options, can be presented in the main window and results saved in in Excel&amp;nbsp;spreadsheet file and in *.lst file.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Longitudinal Reinforcement with Schedule Actions: UltSup, UltLc, CrackSup or CrackLc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With respect to functionality, Longitudinal bars can be considered in bending and cracking calculations and after they can be used to compute the reinforcement layout.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the reinforcement bars arrangement, RM Bridge has two types of solutions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bars uniformly arranged along a specified line (straight, polygonal or curved);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bars arranged in specified points.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reinforcement layout from view options, can be presented in the main window and results saved in in Excel&amp;nbsp;spreadsheet file and in *.lst file.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bending Reinforcement with Schedule Actions: UltSup or UltLc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A selection of elements for performing the ultimate capacity check can be done Structure &amp;gt; Elements &amp;gt; Checks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following requirement already exist for performing these schedule actions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The relevant internal force state (ultimate limit state);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The required material properties (stress-strain diagrams);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The reinforcement groups (properties groups / attributes sets);&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Any prescribed reinforcement amount can be defined in Structure &amp;gt; Elements &amp;gt; Checks;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The required reinforcement amount can be performed with the option Rein;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Definition of the prestressing tendons for prestressed structures.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-15/image002.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Figure 1:&lt;/strong&gt; Reinforcement Types in Modeler &amp;gt; Cross-sections &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cracking Reinforcement with Schedule Actions: CrackSup or CrackLc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These actions calculate the required additional reinforcement to meet the crack width design criteria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A selection of elements for performing these actions can be done Structure &amp;gt; Elements &amp;gt; Checks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crack width design usually defined in individual national codes includes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Verification of &lt;em&gt;minimum reinforcement&lt;/em&gt; area in the cross sections, A&lt;sub&gt;min&lt;/sub&gt;;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Limitation of crack width&lt;/em&gt; for the structural elements under the relevant loading combination, A&lt;sub&gt;load&lt;/sub&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The reinforcement stress is calculated with presuming &lt;strong&gt;cracked conditions and nonlinear material&lt;/strong&gt; behavior.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Longitudinal Reinforcement with Schedule Actions: UltSup, UltLc, CrackSup or CrackLc.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
