Question:
How should be the required reinforcement asw interpreted in RFEM 6 compared to RFEM 5? Where can I find the result 2*a-sw,T,stirrup + a-sw,V,stirrup in RFEM 6?
Answer:
In RFEM 6, the required stirrup reinforcement is displayed slightly differently than in RFEM 5. The results are to be interpreted as follows:
a-sw,V,req
Required stirrup reinforcement due to a shear force. The minimum reinforcement is considered in case of this result.
a-sw,T,req
Required stirrup reinforcement due to torsion. The stirrups with two legs have already been taken into account here, which is why the result is no longer displayed as 2*a-sw,T. The minimum reinforcement is taken into account.
a-sw,req,tot
Superposition of a-sw,V,req and a-sw,T,req, where the minimum reinforcements for the shear force and torsion are also considered separately, not as a sum.
