Answer:
In SHAPE‑MASSIVE, it is necessary to activate the reinforced concrete design in General Data. As soon as the design is active, you can make the corresponding settings for the design in a separate tab (Image 01).
There are three types of design:
- Stress-Strain Distribution (Example 01):
It is possible to determine the existing design ratio by specifying the internal forces.
- Design Safety (Example 02):
The program determines the state of failure (ratio = 100%) and, related to this, the available safety.
- Design (Example 03):
By specifying the maximum and the minimum diameter, or the minimum and the maximum reinforcement, it is possible to increase the reinforcement within the design.
Irrespective of which of these three methods is used, it is necessary to specify the reinforcement position and the acting internal force (Image 02).
