Reinforcement Detail

You can evaluate the provided reinforcements of members, member sets, and representatives as reinforcement detail. The program provides several options for this.

Work Window

Switch to the Navigator – Display. In the Model category, activate the Types for Concrete Design to display the rebars in the model.

Displaying Member Reinforcement as Reinforcement Detail

For the member reinforcement, you can select which types of longitudinal reinforcement should be displayed. If you also select the Description on -z (top) and Description on +z (bottom) check boxes, the individual positions are applied to the model as a reinforcement detail. The positions are numbered consecutively. On the position members, you can clearly see the number and diameter of similar rebars.

To show the reinforcement detail for stirrups, select the Description check box for this subcategory.

Displaying Stirrup Reinforcement as Reinforcement Detail

Window "Reinforcement Layout"

Double-click the member in the work window to open the Edit Member dialog box. Switch to the Longitudinal Reinforcement or Shear Reinforcement tab to see the member reinforcement.

Button "Show Reinforcement Layout"

Click the button to open the "Reinforcement Layout" window.

Window "Reinforcement Layout"

In this window, you can define which reinforcement types and descriptions should be displayed for similar rebars ("item members"). The positions are numbered consecutively.

To adjust the view, you can use all mouse functions described in the Graphic Control chapter of the RFEM manual. This allows you to display the reinforcement of the member in a zoomed or spatial view.

The buttons in the toolbar have the following functions:

Button	Function
	Various options of printing the graphic
	Shows or hides the design supports
	Shows or hides the top reinforcement, including position members
	Shows or hides the bottom reinforcement, including position members
	Shows or hides the lateral (structural) reinforcement, including position members
	Shows or hides the stirrup reinforcement, including position stirrups
	Display or hide member axes
	Shows or hides the descriptions of the top reinforcement ("position members")
	Shows or hides the descriptions of the bottom reinforcement ("position members")
	Shows or hides the descriptions of the lateral (structural) reinforcement
	Shows or hides the descriptions of the stirrup reinforcement ("position stirrups")
	Shows the descriptions of the stirrup reinforcement parallel or perpendicular to the member
	Shows or hides the member dimensioning
	Shows or hides the anchorage lengths at the start of rebars
	Shows or hides the anchorage lengths at the end of the rebars

Table "Reinforcement Points"

In the Longitudinal Reinforcement or Shear Reinforcement tab of the "Edit Member" dialog box, click the button to open the Section Properties window.

Button "Information About Section"

Switch to the Reinforcement Points tab. It includes the center point coordinates of the individual rebars summarized in a table. They refer to the centroid of the cross-section.

Window "Section Properties", Tab "Reinforcement Points"

You can also access the "Section Properties" window using the tables of the "Concrete Design" category.

Displaying Info About Section in Table for Concrete Design

In the Design Check Details and in the Result Diagrams in Section window, you can also open the "Section Properties" window using the button.
