Hi,
The edge reinforcement shown in the output is per the edge. The format that is followed to calculate the reinforcement is "number of bars along thickness +2 X number of bars along the faces".
If there are two layer of reinforcement, then the reinforcement reported should be distributed half in each layer as it is a two layered reinforcement. The reinforcement distribution between layers should be 50-50.
For horizontal and vertical direction, the reinforcement is reported per layer.
Hi Suro,
Thnx for the response but until now it is not clear to me, I'm sorry I did not understand the statement above that "the numbers of bars along thickness +2 x number of bars along faces". Is it okey if I will attached a sample output? Can you read it for me the result in this sample? Please I need your help.

(In that result Mr. Suro, for the level 0.4, at the edge zone it was stated that their is 3-16dia. What does it mean? Is this 3-16dia is for 1 face? by the way I use the parameter 2 layered. Is this mean that the 3 pcs of 16 mm diameter of rebar will be distributed along 1400mm which the length of edge zone? Is it for one face?
In addition to edge zone, the ratio is quite big. Is it in percent that we need to divide by 100?
For the vertical rebars between the two edge zone, Is this 0.002 ratio is for one face only sir?
Please help me. Thnx a lot
I tried designing a shear wall using staad pro..
This is what I can say:
"shear wall design output in staad pro is a headache . . ."
Hi Is97 ,
please can u tell me how your output result shown above regarding shear wall output is in (SI unit )?? like bars # and spacing between it !! because all the units output shown in my model is in BS ( inches + # bar ) . please tell me what should i do for that .
