Plate Column Data for Design

Enter the concrete covers and rebar data for RC Plate Column to be applied to section design.

From the Main Menu select Design > RC Design> Plate Column Data for Design .

 Plate Member

Select the Sub-Domain Name, Plate Force Option and the Main Rebar Direction for design.

Sub-Domain Name : Predefined Sub-Domain which is defined as Plate Column (1D) can be selected.
                                Click  to Add/Modify Sub-Domain

Note

Analysis result will be deleted if Sub-Domain is added or modified.

Plate Force Option 

Element: Uses the Internal forces calculated at each node of selected elements.

Avg. Nodal: Uses the average internal nodal forces of the contiguous elements sharing the common nodes.

Main Rebar Direction

Dir.1 : The section is designed using the bending moment in Dir.1 defined in Sub-Domain and the shear direction
          is also determined.

Dir.2 : The section is designed using the bending moment in Dir.2 defined in Sub-Domain and the shear direction
          is also determined.

Stirrups Data

Size : Size of shear reinforcing steel.

Number : Number of shear reinforcing steel per unit length.

 Covering Thickness

Dt : Cover distance from the top surface to the center of the main top reinforcing steel.

Db: Cover distance from the bottom surface to the center of the main bottom reinforcing steel.

Note
Enter the cover dimensions of the main rebars placed in the outer layers of the column members. When the covers are not specified, (Dt = 0, Db = 0), section design will not proceed.

: Add the newly entered data of the selected sub-domain.

  : Modify the previously entered data of the selected sub-domain. Design dialog is not closed when
                         modifying the data so that ‘Re-Calculation’ is possible without performing the design again.

  : Delete the previously entered data of the selected sub-domain.
