How to Run


  • Select the Spiral 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.

Rebar Specification

  • [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.

    • 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.

  • 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.

  • [Cover Thickness]
    Sets the cover property that adjusts the position of the rebar group in the member

    • On Plane : Enter the rebar cover thickness on the plane. This is at an offset from the line created by the user.

    • On Plane Cover Align Center : Set the criteria for ‘On Plane’.

    • From Start/End Plane : Enter the rebar cover thickness from the start and end planes.

    • From Plane Cover Align Center : Sets the criteria for ‘From Plane’.

 

Array Tab

 

  • [Arrangement]
    Sets the spacing for the rebars.

  • 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

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

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

  • Edit Splice by Table : Selects the splice method. When enabled, the splice settings can be modified from the table.

    • Off : The user edits the splice through the settings.

      • Splice Type : Selects the type of rebar splice. (None / Lap / Coupler / Welding)

        • Lap : This is a multilayer splice method that connects the rebars into a continuous line of rebar.

        • Coupler : This splice method connects two rebars using a coupler.

        • Welding : This splice method connects two rebars using welding.

      • Reverse Direction : When enabled, the splice direction is reversed.

      • Bar Length : Enter the splice spacing. Different spacings can be used. The splice can be created by clicking on the representative rebar.

      • Lap Length : Enter the length of the lap splice. (Only enabled for Lap Type)

    • On : Edit the splice settings from the table.

      • Splice Table

        • The diameter for each sub-group (Rebar groups separated by splice) can be modified.

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

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