Reinforcement object types
There are seven object types in the Reinforcement layer:
- Concentrated Reinforcement - a fixed number of bars over a parallelogram area
- Distributed Reinforcement - a bar spacing applied over a polygon area.
- Individual Bars - single bars that are generated from Concentrated and Distributed Reinforcement.
- Transverse Reinforcement - a fixed number of transverse bars at a fixed spacing.
- Transverse Individual Bars - single transverse bars (strirrups/links/ligatures) that are generated from Transverse Reinforcement
- Stud Shear Reinforcement (SSR) Callouts - a fixed number of SSR rails with a fixed number of studs.
- SSR Rails - individual rails that are generated from SSR Callouts.
You can directly create (by drawing) Concentrated Reinforcement, Distributed Reinforcement, and Transverse Reinforcement. You cannot directly create any of the other types of reinforcement.
