Question

Is the shift rule or the anchorage length of the longitudinal reinforcement already taken into account in the reinforcement proposal?


Answer:
In RF‑CONCRETE Members (RFEM) or CONCRETE (RSTAB), the shift rule is taken into account by default when determining the reinforcement.

You can see the difference between the required reinforcement with and without the shft rule when displaying the results in the Results navigator:
- As,-z (top)
- As,+z (bottom)
- As,-z (top),req.
- As,+z (bottom),req.
einblenden.

In As,-z (top),req. and As,+z (bottom),req., the shift rule is included.

In the case of the reinforcement proposal in RF‑CONCRETE Members or CONCRETE, the anchorage length for a "straight bar" is taken into account by default. You can find the setting for this in Window 1.6. See Image 02.

The anchorage length is determined from As,-z (top),req. and As,+z (bottom),req. So the shift rule is also included here.
