5.3 Required Reinforcement by Point

Numbered point in a technical display

This result window lists the maximum reinforcement areas for all FE nodes / grid points of each surface. The columns are explained in chapter 5.1.


In addition to the longitudinal and shear reinforcements, the table displays design-relevant values of the actions and resistances. For EN 1992-1-1, these are the following:

Table 5.1 Output Values in Window 2.3 for EN 1992-1-1
Symbol Meaning
n1,-z (top) Axial or membrane force for designing the reinforcement in the first reinforcement direction at the surface's top side
n2,-z (top) Axial or membrane force for designing the reinforcement in the second reinforcement direction at the surface's top side
n1,+z(bottom) Like n1,-z(top), but for surface bottom
n2,+z(bottom) Like n2,-z(top), but for surface bottom
m1,-z(top) Only for model type 2D - XY (uZXY ): Moment for designing reinforcement in the first or second reinforcement direction at the surface's top side
m2,-z(top) Only for model type 2D - XY (uZXY ): Moment for designing reinforcement in the first or second reinforcement direction at the surface's top side
m1,-z(bottom) Like m1,-z(top) / m2,-z(top), but for surface bottom
m2,-z(bottom) Like m1,-z(top) / m2,-z(top), but for surface bottom
VEd Design value of applied shear force
VRd,c Design shear resistance without shear reinforcement
VRd,max Shear force resistance of the concrete compression strut
VRd,s Shear force resistance of shear reinforcement
Theta Inclination angle of concrete compression strut
