After defining the stair reinforcement dimensions, click Next. The following dialog displays:
The upper part of the dialog displays the following parameters:
Below are presented schemes (shapes) of main reinforcement for:
lower landing - types of reinforcement:
type 1 -
type 2 -
type 3 -
type 4 -
upper landing - types of reinforcement:
type 1 -
type 2 -
type 3 -
with additional reinforcement, if needed
stairs' foundation - types of reinforcement:
type 1 -
type 2 -
upper landing - types of reinforcement - the same as above
For every reinforcement type (shape) the following parameters should be specified:
In the lower part of the dialog, the following parameters of distributed reinforcement are specified:
In the case of stairs with bearers, the definition of reinforcement is divided into the following two stages:
Bearers are always generated; beams in walls are generated only when the Beam option is selected.
The following reinforcement parameters are defined for beams in walls and bearers:
- steel grade
- stirrup diameter
- stirrup spacing
- steel grade
- stirrup diameter
- number of reinforcing bars.
The upper part of the dialog includes parameters of the main reinforcement of stairs:
Below are provided schemes (shapes) of the main reinforcement for:
type 1 -
type 2 -
type 1 -
type 2 -
type 1 -
type 2 - .
The following parameters are specified for each type (shape) of reinforcement:
The following parameters of distributed reinforcement are specified in the lower part of the dialog:
Units used to define the geometry and reinforcement of stairs are set in the Job preferences dialog.
The bottom of the dialog includes a selection lists used to define a hierarchy of defined projects and templates; the following rules apply while creating the hierarchy:
Such hierarchy makes it easier to manage structure elements included in a project. It is also simpler to copy a project between two users (computers used by users), by copying a whole folder with the project name for the entire project hierarchy with all groups and templates.
You can define an arbitrary hierarchy; the following hierarchy can be used as an example:
The Template list includes user-defined templates (schemes) of stairs and their reinforcement. After defining the stairs geometry and reinforcement, it is possible to save these settings by specifying a name in the Template field and clicking the Save button (Note: a template is saved in a selected group and a selected project). After defining the stairs reinforcement and selecting the name of a saved template (in a selected project and a selected group), all parameters in the dialog are set exactly as they are defined in the template.
To open a template saved in a selected project and a selected group, click Load. To delete a selected template assigned to a selected project and a selected group, click Delete.
Templates saved in the macros for formworks of structure elements are available and can be loaded to the corresponding reinforcement macros. Once such a template is loaded, the Geometrytab sets parameters of the structure element geometry saved in the template.
The following buttons are located at the bottom of the dialog:
