In the Reinforcement tab, the material for the reinforcement can be selected from the drop-down menu in the Material section. Here, a suitable material—for example, B500S(A)—can be specified for the reinforcement of the foundation plate and the bucket block.
Plate
In the Plate section, the reinforcement type for the plate is defined. The following options are available:
- Mesh and rebars: Combination of meshes and bars,
- Rebars: Exclusive use of bars,
- Mesh: Exclusive use of meshes.
Bucket
In this section, you need to specify whether the stirrups in the bucket walls should enclose the column or whether the stirrups should lie completely within a bucket wall.
The reinforcement properties of the foundation plate are described in the Foundation plate type in the chapter Plate Reinforcement. The reinforcement properties of the bucket are explained in the following chapter Bucket Reinforcement.
