Function
Enter the section dimensions including the covers and rebar data for RC beam members to be applied to section design.

From the main menu, select [Design] tab > [Type : RC Design] > [Rebar] group > [Rebar Input for Design] > [Beam Section]
Input
First, select the members in the model and enter the following data:
Section List
Select the beam sections for design.
ID : Beam section numbers for which section design will be carried out
NAME : Beam Section Names for which section design will be carried out
Bar : When the concrete cover and stirrup data are entered for the beam members being considered for section design, "O" will appear.
Click to modify the sectional shape and dimensions and display the Section for Design dialog box (refer to "Section for Design").
Section Data
(refer to (1))
Display the section data for the beam members.
Shape : Sectional shape of the members
Hc : Height of the section
Bc : Width of the section
bf : Width of the T-section's flange
hf : Thickness of the T-section's flange
Stirrups Data
Enter the shear reinforcing steel data and covers for the beam member being considered for section design.
Size : Size of shear reinforcing steel
Number : Number of shear reinforcing steel
Dt : Cover distance from the top surface to the center of the main top reinforcing steel (refer to (2))
Db : Cover distance from the bottom surface to the center of the main bottom reinforcing steel (refer to (2))
Add/Replace : Add the newly entered rebar data of the selected section or update the previously entered data.
Delete : Delete the entered rebar data of the selected section.
Cancel : Do not apply the entered data and close the dialog box
(1)
The dimensions entered for the analysis model determine the height (Hc) and width (Bc) of the rectangular sections (Shape = Rectangle). In such cases, the sectional shape of the beam members defined in the analysis model must be rectangular. The sectional values (Hc, Bc, bf, hf) entered in the analysis model are applied for T-sections (Shape = Tee). In such cases, the sectional shape of the beam members entered in the analysis model must be a T-shape. Use "Section for Design" to modify the sectional shape or the dimensions (refer to "Section for Design").
Call
From the Main Menu select Design > Section for Design
(2)
Enter the cover dimensions of the main rebars placed in the outer layers of the beam members. When the covers are not specified, (Dt = 0, Db = 0), section design will not proceed.
(3)
When the rebar data are repeatedly entered for the same section, the values will be updated to the last values entered.
