Concrete Column Schedule Reinforcement Classification

A column schedule is a report that shows the unique types of column lines in a structure. The schedule shows each column configuration with its reinforcement properties and the location mark (grid line intersection) of each instance of the configuration in the model. Concrete Column schedules consider both structural and reinforcement properties in determining the unique types of column configurations and categorize columns. The effect of combining both structural and reinforcement properties in the categorization of columns is that more configurations will be present in the schedule. Column lines that are identical with respect to section and length but differ in reinforcement can be handled separately on the column schedule.


Column configurations that are identical with respect to section, length, size and number of parallel reinforcements and transverse section arrangements.



ISM properties for the same columns with a small difference in the depth of the anchoring reinforcements. This small difference results in a separate column configuration in the concrete column schedule report.
