5.3 Required Reinforcement by Point

Image 5.5 Window 2.3 *Required Reinforcement By Point*

This result window lists the maximum reinforcement areas for all FE nodes / grid points of each surface. The columns are explained in chapter 5.1.

In addition to the longitudinal and shear reinforcements, the table displays design-relevant values of the actions and resistances. For EN 1992-1-1, these are the following:

Table 5.1 Output values in window 2.3 for EN 1992-1-1
Symbol	Meaning
n_{1,-z (top)}	Axial or membrane force for designing the reinforcement in the first reinforcement direction at the surface's top side
n_{2,-z (top)}	Axial or membrane force for designing the reinforcement in the second reinforcement direction at the surface's top side
n_1,+z(bottom)	Like n_1,-z(top), but for surface bottom
n_2,+z(bottom)	Like n_2,-z(top), but for surface bottom
m_1,-z(top) m_2,-z(top)	Only for model type 2D - XY (u_Z/φ_X/φ_Y): moment for designing the reinforcement in the first or second reinforcement direction at the surface's top side
m_1,-z(bottom) m_2,-z(bottom)	Like m_1,-z(top) / m_2,-z(top), but for surface bottom
V_Ed	Design value of applied shear force
V_Rd,c	Shear force resistance without shear reinforcement
V_Rd,max	Shear force resistance of concrete compression strut
V_Rd,s	Shear force resistance of shear reinforcement
Theta	Inclination angle of concrete compression strut

The search function that you can access with the button shown on the left allows you to quickly find FE nodes and grid points (see Figure 6.7).
