PSC Bridge Design - RM Bridge: Reinforcements Definition

RM > Modeler > Cross Section > Reinforcement Types

 Longitudinal reinforcement for cracking, bending …..

Shear reinforcement for web on shear calculation.

Shear longitudinal reinforcement for shear calculation.

Torsion reinforcement for torsion longitudinal and transversal calculation.

RM > Modeler > Assemblies

Group elements for the different construction stages:

STG01 

STG02 

STG03 

RM > Analyzer > Groups / Attribute Sets

Preparing Reinforcements for drawing layout:

1. Reinforcement library.
2. Preferred bar size.
3. Range of bars.
4. Concrete cover.
5. Spacing Min.
6. Spacing Max.
7. Spacing step.
8. Number of layers.
9. Number of legs.
10. Apply torsion reinforcement.

RM > Analyzer > Structure > Elements > Checks

User can apply the duct width reduction for shear check calculation.

Assign elements for design code check.

Apply one fix reinforcement area value or require the program to calculate it.  

And ask for the detailed reports with all the calculations performed by RM Bridge.
