Transverse Reinforcing Check

This output provides a listing of all of the composite beams for which the specified transverse reinforcement is inadequate, based on the steel sheeting and transverse reinforcement provided as specified by the user.

If applicable and if the reinforcement is inadequate, the report will list the condition of sheeting being continuous or not. That is, if the specified reinforcement is inadequate even when the sheeting is continuous, the beam will be listed twice: once showing the required area of reinforcement when the sheeting is continuous and again showing the required area of reinforcement when the sheeting is not continuous over the beam. If the specified reinforcement is inadequate only when the sheeting is not continuous, the beam will only be listed once; this indicates that if the sheeting is continuous, the specified reinforcement is adequate. If the continuity of the sheeting is not applicable, "N/A" will be listed on the report for "Sheeting Continuous".

This report includes composite steel beams and composite Westok Cellular Beams.

This report is only available when the BS5950 or Eurocode Design Code is selected.
