Long. reinforcement

SettingDescription
Span Span Selection can be used to select one of the available spans for longitudinal reinforcement definition.
Same as span selection Used to copy the variation from another span to current one. There are 3 different ways to achieve the copying: Plain, Mirrored, Doubly mirrored.
SettingDescription
Plain Allows copying the variation from source span into destination exactly the way it was defined in source span.
Mirrored Allows copying the variation from source to destination span, by mirroring its values first.
Doubly Mirrored Allows copying the variation from source to destination span, by mirroring its values first and then applying to destination strip in reverse order.
Reinforcement layout (deck strips) table
SettingDescription
Strip Defines the strip number.
From/To x/l-B Defines the start and end position of the strip at the beginning of  span,relative to the total span length. 
From/To x/l-E Defines the start and end position of the strip at the end of span,relative to the total span length.
Width-B Strip width and the beginning of span.
Width-E Strip width and the end of span.
Same as Strip selection Used to copy the set of variations of parameter(s) from a source to destination strip, within current span only.
Strip tabs Displays the set parameters for each strip within current span. The variation of any parameter is set using a variation object selected on “Variation” column. If needed, the defined variation for a parameter can be taken as reversed or not using option on “Mirrored” column.

rtran-top Top longitudinal reinforcement group.
bd-top Bar diameter at deck top.
bs-top Bar spacing at deck top.
sd-top Distance from top of slab to the center of the bar, taken as sum of lateral bar diameter, half top bar diameter, and concrete cover.
rtran-bottom Bottom longitudinal reinforcement group.
bd-bot Bar diameter at deck bottom.
bs-bot Bar spacing at deck bottom.
sd-bot Distance from bottom of slab to the center of the bar, taken as sum of lateral bar diameter, half bottom bar diameter, and concrete cover.
As(cm2/m) Area of the bar divided by the bar spacing.
