Description

The Footing Reinforcement tool allows the user to create reinforcing bars inside a Footing Arch Structure object.

This command is part of the Reinforcement Workbench, an external workbench that can be installed with the Addon Manager via the Tools → Addon manager → Reinforcement menu.


A Example of Footing reinforcement in Footing Arch Structure

Usage

1. Select vertical face of a previously created Footing Arch Structure object. as shown in below image.

Footing Face selected

Selected face for Footing Arch Structure

2. Then select Footng Reinforcement from the rebar tools.

3. A footing reinforcement dialog box will pop-out on screen as shown below.

Note: step 9 and 10 are required, only if secondary rebars check is enable in step 6.
9. Click next or click on XDir Secoundry rebar in list view and fill desired input for secondary rebars in X direction in a column in footing reinforcement.

11. Click OK or Apply or Finish to generate Footing reinforcement.
12. Click Cancel to exit the dialog box.


Properties

  • DataMesh Cover Along: It represent alignment of rebar mesh along top and/or bottom face of structure. It can have three values "Top", "Bottom" and "Both".
  • DataRebar Type: Type of rebar for parallel rebars for footing reinforcement. It can have three values 'StraightRebar', 'LShapeRebar' and 'UShapeRebar'.
  • DataFront Cover: The distance between parallel rebar and selected face.
  • DataLeft Cover: The distance between the left end of the parallel rebar to the left face of the structure.
  • DataRight Cover: The distance between the right end of the parallel rebar to right face of the structure.
  • DataBottom Cover: The distance between parallel rebars from the bottom face of the structure.
  • DataTop Cover: The distance between parallel rebars from the top face of the structure.
  • DataRear Cover: Rear cover for footing reinforcement of parallel rebars.
  • DataRounding: A rounding value to be applied to the corners of the bars, expressed in times of diameter of parallel rebars.
  • DataDiameter: Diameter of parallel rebars
  • DataAmount: It contains count of parallel rebars.
  • DataSpacing: It contains spacing between parallel rebars.

Properties for Rebars in Cross Direction to selected face in footing Reinforcement:

  • DataRebar Type: Type of rebar for cross rebars for footing reinforcement. It can have three values 'StraightRebar', 'LShapeRebar' and 'UShapeRebar'.
  • DataFront Cover: The distance between cross rebar and selected face.
  • DataLeft Cover: The distance between the left end of the cross rebar to the left face of the structure.
  • DataRight Cover: The distance between the right end of the cross rebar to right face of the structure.
  • DataBottom Cover: The distance between cross rebars from the bottom face of the structure.
  • DataTop Cover: The distance between cross rebars from the top face of the structure.
  • DataRear Cover: Rear cover for footing reinforcement of cross rebars.
  • DataRounding: A rounding value to be applied to the corners of the bars, expressed in times of diameter of cross rebars.
  • DataDiameter: Diameter of cross rebars
  • DataAmount: It contains count of cross rebars.
  • DataSpacing: It contains spacing between cross rebars.

Properties for Columns in footing Reinforcement:

  • DataFront Cover: Distance between selected face and columns.
