Material Page
The Material page is used to assign from the RM-default database containing predefined materials that can be transferred to the RM project, for all structural elements of the bridge like the concrete type for the deck and piers, the steel reinforcement used.
In the superstructure material page each structural element material: deck, girder and cross beam is separately defined. If the Cross beam material same as deck material option is selected only one definition needed in the Deck material tab, all properties will be the same.
You are able to input the activation age and the reinforcement properties in the list:

| Cover | Define the region between the exposed concrete surface and the nearest surface of the reinforcing bar usually based on the exposure conditions that the structure is likely to be subjected,has a range of [1.5;10](cm). |
