Local modification of the reinforcements can be done either by typing directly in the descriptive grids for the bars, or graphically, using the tools available in the reinforcement display sheet.

Edit by typing in grids

To change the displayed reinforcement, you can open the descriptive grids of the longitudinal reinforcement and stirrups for the current beam, via the Data|Reinforcement|Slabs menu option.

The modification of the reinforcements takes place within the list sheet, by appropriately varying the data that define the groups of longitudinal bars.

Furthermore, in the reinforcement sheet, you can delete groups of bars no longer needed from the list. All changes made to the list sheets are reflected in the drawing's graphics window as soon as it is brought back to the foreground. At the same time, the program rechecks the cross-sections of the entire slab and updates the verification histograms, if present. 

Graphic modification of armor

The needles can also be modified graphically using the commands on the Needle Panel.

  • To insert a new bar, click on the sections near the area (to the right or left of the beam) where you want to insert the bar. This action only applies to the bars listed in the section list.

  • To delete a bar, click the group in the section list. Again, you can't delete nets, so the action only applies to bars in the section list.
