Conformance torsion check

When marked, the torsion control in the beams is checked according to the conformity torsion condition. Td = Tcr is taken. When unchecked, the beam is checked for its equilibrium torsion.

Tcr = Torsional cracking strength of the section

Td = torque value used in control

Conformity torsion = If the presence of torsional moment in a system is not necessary for equilibrium, that is torsional fitness torsion.

If the option is not selected, the torsion control in the beams is controlled according to the condition of the balance torsion. Td = Tdhesap

Td = torque value used in control

Tdhesap = Largest design torsion moment found after analysis

Equilibrium torsion = Torsion is equilibrium torsion if the structural element and the system need torsional moment to maintain balance.

Reinforcement Tab

Specifications

Bend bars at left end

If the beam is not continuous, the reinforcements are drawn in a square on the relevant support. If the beam is continuous, the reinforcements are also drawn continuously. This option allows the reinforcement to be set square even if the beam is continuous. The rebars are folded into the column on the left column support.

Use beam continuity at right end

If the beam is continuous, the continuous beams will automatically be the same continuous and this option is automatically checked. If the option is deselected, the canceled beam will not be drawn continuously and will be detached from the adjacent beam at the right end. For example, let's consider a 2 span continuous beam system. Normally for the 1st span, the option "always accept beam at right end" is selected. If the mark is removed, the 1st and 2nd beams are drawn as separate parts.

Join top bars to neighbour beam at right end

In continuous beams, the upper reinforcements are arranged in one piece to ensure the 12-meter condition whenever possible. If this option is not selected, top reinforcements are placed by cutting on the support.

Bend bars at right end

If the beam is not continuous, the reinforcements are drawn in a square on the relevant support. If the beam is continuous, the reinforcements are also drawn continuously. This option allows the reinforcement to be set square even if the beam is continuous. The rebars are folded into the column on the right column support.

Determine partial passing bars at right end

This option, which is set for continuous but different beams, regulates whether a certain proportion of the rebars will be transferred to the other beam. In two continuous beams of different widths, if this option is selected, the reinforcement transition is arranged by taking into account the ratio found from the section of beam widths. For example, let the width of the 1st beam 50 cm and the width of the 2nd beam 25 cm. 25/50 = 0.5 ratio. The number of reinforcement, for example, is 4 straight reinforcement. 2 pieces of reinforcement will make partial transition, and 2 pieces of reinforcement will be cut with a square.

Join bottom bars to neighbour beam at right end

In continuous beams, straight reinforcements are arranged in one piece to ensure the 12-meter condition whenever possible. In short, it is passed on the lower bearing without any additional. If this option is not selected, flat reinforcements are placed in the support by cutting.

Left support override/Right support override

If a beam is supported to the junction point of more than one panel, it is determined from these boxes which panel will be drawn as the support of this beam in the drawings. The appropriate panel name is written in the box.

Use diagonal reinforcement

It is the option for reinforcing tie beams between rigid walls. When the option is selected, the reinforcement type given in TBDY 2018 Article 7.6.8.2 is applied.

How many degrees to break the beam pile is entered. The moment is brought to zero point due to the column to the pillar and it is broken by the value written here.

BU/Total min

Determines the minimum percentage of the total area of ​​reinforcement in the span in the beam to be arranged as pleats. This value is used in conjunction with the defined straight and pleat diameters in the reinforcement selection and the "minimum distance between two reinforcements", "reinforcement margin" and "combination range allowed to select reinforcement", which can be defined in the analysis settings.

BU/Total max

Determines the maximum percentage of the total area of ​​reinforcement in the span in the beam to be arranged in piles. This value is used in conjunction with the "minimum distance between two rebars", "rebar margin" and "combination range allowed to select reinforcement", which can be defined in the analysis settings with the flat and pleat diameters defined in the reinforcement selection.

Two stirrups

Except for the stirrup condition that can be defined in the double beam parameters, double stirrups are marked by clicking if desired.

All densified stirrups

Stirrup tightening in beams is made according to earthquake regulations. According to the regulation, the densification zone is created at a distance of 2 times the beam depth from the column face. If this option is selected, complete stirrup tightening is performed on the beam regardless of the regulation conditions and beam length.

Cracking/Deflection Tab

Specifications

Apply TBDY 3.2.3 (Automatic stiffness reduction forcoupling beams between shearwalls)

When calculating according to TBDY 2007, section stiffnesses to be used in TBDY Article 3.2.3 "structural system calculation, section stiffnesses of the uncracked section will be used in the structural system calculation to be made with the methods given in Section 2. However, values ​​of the cracked section can be used in beams that are stuck to the walls in their own planes and in the tie beams of the tie beam (hollow) walls. If this option is activated for beams connected from both sides in the plane of the wall based on the condition “, the moment of inertia of the beam is automatically reduced by 50%.

TS500 cracking limit

The upper limit to be considered for crack control of beam elements is determined by selecting the relevant option. The upper limit values ​​are the values ​​specified in TS500.

Deflection control limits

Deflection control upper limit values ​​are determined from these options. Fixed values ​​are taken from TS500 and you can also set limit values ​​yourself. If "deflection control" option is selected, instantaneous and temporal deflection control is performed on the beams even if the "deflection condition is a height condition that does not require deflection control".
