The Longitudinal Reinforcement tab provides the engineer with a means for modifying top and bottom longitudinal bar sets that have been assigned to the beam, either during design, or previously by the engineer. When the Longitudinal Reinforcement tab is selected, the graphical display area will display a representation of the longitudinal bar sets in the beam line. The envelope data displayed both graphically and numerically will correspond to the longitudinal reinforcement assigned to the beam line.

Beam dimensions can be viewed in the upper left-hand corner.

Radio buttons allows the user to select between Top and Bottom Reinforcement.

When Top Reinforcement is selected, the top reinforcement data can be edited. When Bottom Reinforcement is selected, the bottom reinforcement data can be edited. Existing bar sets can be edited or deleted and new bar sets can be added in the spreadsheet area of this tab.

For easy cross-reference between the spreadsheet area of the tab and the graphical display area, when a bar set is selected in the spreadsheet area, the corresponding bar set will be highlighted in the graphical display area. When a bar set is selected in the graphical display area, the first cell in the corresponding line in the spreadsheet will be highlighted.
