Beam Reinforcing - Stirrups tab
Used to enter values that define a single reinforcement cage for a concrete beam.
As many different types of stirrups as necessary can be entered, with each new stirrup saved as a line in the detail table. The stirrups are defined by clicking the bars in the cross section around which the stirrup is placed. Each Stirrup Zone is used to create a separate spacing or stirrup arrangement along the length of the beam. Each stirrup within a zone is used to specify an individual stirrup at each spacing location along the zone.
