Additional design tools


There are additional design tools in the Concrete design tab for defining special concrete design regions and settings that are used in detailed reinforcement checks. Some tools are used for only specific design subtypes, while others are used for multiple design types.

  • ↘ Buckling length – define and manage buckling length settings for concrete design checks

  • ↘ Reduction zone – define reduction zones that affect local concrete design evaluation for bar elements

  • ↘ Shear control region – create and manage regions used for shear-related concrete checks

  • ↘ Punching – work with punching design tools and punching reinforcement checks

  • ↘ Concealed bar – define concealed bar regions for bar-like design behaviour inside shell elements
