Longitudinal Rebar Property

Longitudinal Rebar Property

Summary


  • View or edit property information for classification, geometry, analysis, quantity settings of the Longitudinal Rebar Group.

 

How to Run


  • Select the Longitudinal Rebar Group on the screen.

 

Explanation


Common Tab

 

 

  • [Classification]
    Set the classification properties of the rebar group.

    • Name : Enter the name of the rebar group.

    • Rebar Type : Displays the rebar type.

    • Grade : Sets the material grade of the rebar group.

  • [Specification]
    Sets the specification of the rebar group.

    • Code : Sets the rebar specification.

    • Diameter : Select the rebar diameter. This is enabled only when a code is selected.

    • Nominal Diameter : Enter the nominal diameter of the rebar.

    • Bending Radius : Enter the bending radius of the rebar.

    • Maximum Length : Displays the length of the longest rebar within the rebar group.

    • Minimum Length : Displays the length of the shortest rebar within the rebar group.

  • Diameter : This is enabled only when a ‘Code’ is selected.

  • Nominal Diameter : Once the ‘Diameter’ is set, the nominal diameter is displayed. This can be entered manually only when ‘Code : None’.

  • Bending Radius : Once the ‘Diameter’ is set, the bending radius is displayed. This can also be input manually.

  • [Hook]
    Set the shape of a hook.

    • Differenct Start/End Hook : Set whether to apply hook settings differently to the start and end point of the hook.

    • Direction : Sets the direction of the hook.

    • Hook Type : Select the type of hook.

    • Angle : Enter the angle of the hook.

    • Radius : Enter the radius of the hook.

    • Length : Enter the length of the hook.

  • Differenct Start/End Hook

    • Off : Applies same hook settings to start and end point of the hook.

    • On : Applies different hook settings to start and end point of the hook. This enables the Start/End Point Tab button.

  • Direction

    • Perpendicular : The hook is created in a direction perpendicular to the transverse rebar.

    • Parallel : The hook is created in a direction parallel to the transverse rebar.

    • Vertical : A hook is created vertically on the draw plane.

    • Horizontal : A hook is created horizontally on the draw plane.

  • Hook Type : Select the hook type based on the angle.

    • No Hook : The hook is not created.

    • Custom Hook : The hook is created based on the hook angle entered by the user.

    • ±180°, ±135°, ±90° : The hook is created according to the information specified in ‘Rebar Specification’. For this setting, the angle/radius/length cannot be set manually.

  • [Offset]
    Adjust the extension length at both ends of the rebar.

    • Start/End Length : Enter the extension length at the start and end of the rebar. Enter a positive (+) value to shorten, and a negative (-) value to extend.

    • Start/End Spacing : When placing longitudinal rebars, enter the distance from the start and end points.

  • [Plane Alignment]
    Sets the constraint reference point of the Rebar (Start/End) Plane.

    • Ref. Point (Start/End) : Select the starting point/center point/end point above the geometric line of the target member and use when recreating the rebar group.

  • When the rebar group is recreated, the start and end planes of the rebar group are also recreated from the constraint reference points set by the user.

    • Start Point : The start point of the Target Member Geometric line

    • Middle Point : The middle point of the Target Member Geometric line

    • End Point : The end point of the Target Member Geometric line

  • If the user changes the Plane Alignment settings, the information is saved based on the following rules:

    • If the Plane Alignment settings in the same mode are changed: The plane position of the rebar group does not change. The distance from the plane to the new Ref. Point is changed internally.

    • When recreating a target member (Geometric line changes, Library assignment, etc.) : The rebar group is recreated using the direction information and the distance between the Ref. Point and the plane.

 

Array Tab

 

  • [Arrangement]
    Set the spacing of longitudinal bars.

  • Adjustable Spacing : Arrange the rebars using the entered spacing.

    • First Spacing : Arrange the rebars using the entered spacing, and then adjust from the first spacing.

    • Last Spacing : Arrange the rebars using the entered spacing, and then adjust from the last spacing.

    • Middle Spacing : Arrange the rebars using the entered spacing, and then adjust from the middle spacing.

    • First/Last Spacing : Arrange the rebars using the entered spacing, and then adjust base on equidistant spacing between the first and last spacing.

  • Number of Rebars : Arrage the rebars using the number of rebars entered.

  • Uniform Max. Spacing : Arrage the rebars at equal spacing.

  • Pattern Spacing : Arrange according to the entered spacing. Do not arrange for any remaining values less than the entered spacing.

    • Ex)  3@200, 400, 5@150

  • Orthgonal Spacing & Snap : Sets the criteria for the longitudinal rebar spacing.

    • Off : The spacing entered by the user is applied between the longitudinal rebars.

    • On : The longitudinal rebar spacing is based on the x and y axis of the rebar plane.

      • Direction : Select the reference axis to arrange the longitudinal rebar spacing.

        • X-Axis : Arranges the longitudinal rebars using the user-defined spacing values based on the x-axis.

        • Y-Axis : Arranges the longitudinal rebars using the user-defined spacing values based on the y-axis.

  • [Actual Spacing]
    Displays the actual spacing used to arrange the rebars.

  • [Splice]
    Set the splice for the rebar group.

  • [Variable Rebar Name]
    Sets the name rule within the rebar group.

    • Array Group : Set the name of each arranged rebar differently.

    • Splice Group : Set the name of each regar group according to the splice group.
