Question:
How can I teach the program to automatically increase the longitudinal reinforcement when calculating the deflection of slabs in order to meet the preset deflection?
Answer:
The automatic increment of a reinforcement for the deformation analysis is not possible. If the deformation calculation is based on the determination of the stiffness, it is not constructive to develop an algorithm that, for example, increases the reinforcement at the point of maximum deformation. Such a procedure would not result in reduction of the deformation.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase the reinforcement manually.
