One of the first steps in the design process within the RAM Concrete Wall module is the conversion of each of the Bar Patterns and Manual Reinforcement assignments into reinforcing bars within each Wall Panel.

Bar Patterns and Manual Reinforcement assignments into reinforcing bars within each Wall Panel. When the vertical bars for a Bar Pattern are placed, the first bar will be placed a distance equal to the greatest value of the clear cover assigned (Clear cover at primary or secondary face) from the start of the Wall Panel, and the last bar will be placed at the same distance of the clear cover from the end of the Wall Panel. In addition, bars will be placed a distance of the greatest clear cover from the edges of each wall opening in the Wall Panel. The placement of all bars in between these bars will be based on the spacing specified by the Bar Pattern or Manual Reinforcement assignment.
