Mesh with Standard Bar Combinations

Tool(s): Select Mesh Type

A dialog box with the functions shown below is presented so you can edit meshes with standard bar combinations:

Mesh Description

• Mesh name - defines the mesh label
• Longitudinal overlap - defines the standard value of the longitudinal overlap
• Transverse overlap - defines the standard value of the transverse overlap
  

Mesh Weight

• Weight - defines the total weight of the mesh for the size entered as an absolute value
• As longit. - defines the reinforcement amount per meter in the longitudinal direction
• As transv. - defines the reinforcement amount per meter in the transverse direction

These values are calculated automatically based on the values in the Mesh parameters area. They can, however, be modified.

Mesh Parameters

• several fields where you can enter the overall dimensions of the mesh, bar spacing and the number of bars
• several buttons for selecting bar diameter in list boxes
• several buttons for defining bar diameters the button d or dz to change from single to double bar arrangement and to select the bar type
  
  

  Bar type combinations for mesh definition

  The following parameters are provided in a dialog box for processing a single or double bar combination for mesh with standard bars:

  • for normal single bars.
  • for normal double bars.
  • and further specific parameters for double bars of which one (per pair) does not cover the full length.
  • and further specific parameters for single bars, of which every other one does not cover the full length.
  • and further specific parameters for double bars, of which every other pair does not cover the full length.

Mesh Display

• A preview of the mesh is displayed.
