Hello everyone,
I have create function makeTwoTiesSixRebars() to create TwoTiesSixRebars column reinforcement.
commit

Example:

Code: Select all

from ColumnReinforcement import TwoTiesSixRebars
TwoTiesSixRebars.makeTwoTiesSixRebars(40, 30, 50, 45, 20, True, 5, (10, 10), (135, 135), (2, 2), 20, -40, -40, "StraightRebar", "Top Inside", "x-axis", 2, 30)

But there is one problem with LShapeRebars with hook extend along x-axis. It is as shown below:

Code: Select all

from ColumnReinforcement import TwoTiesSixRebars
TwoTiesSixRebars.makeTwoTiesSixRebars(40, 30, 50, 45, 20, True, 5, (10, 10), (135, 135), (2, 2), 20, -40, -40, "LShapeRebar", "Top Inside", "x-axis", 2, 30)

In above image, the central main rebars direction can be along +ve x-axis or -ve x-axis.
I am in doubt if LShapeRebars with this configuration is possible in actual reinforcement?
The above problem can be easily eliminated by removing option to choose hook_extend_along, which may be "x-axis" or "y-axis", and setting it default to "y-axis".

Please give your suggestions.

Thanks,

Hi Suraj,

As I saw, that you have created LShape rebar with "Top Inside" configuration which is fine. It's not important that middle LShape rebars point to +x or -x axis, important is they are inside the stirrup.

Also, please share your next plans. I suggest after completion of two tie reinforcement you should go for a circular column and then beam reinforcement.

Thanks,

My next plan is to complete TwoTiesSixRebars column reinforcement and circular column reinforcement before 18 July, 2019.
And after that I will create user documentation and start implementation of beam reinforcement.

Hello everyone,

There is one more problem:
When I create TwoTiesSixRebars column reinforcement with different values for diameter of tie1 and tie2, then it will produce column reinforcement as below image:

Code: Select all

from ColumnReinforcement import TwoTiesSixRebars
TwoTiesSixRebars.makeTwoTiesSixRebars(40, 30, 50, 45, 20, True, 5, (8, 20), (135, 135), (2, 2), 20, -40, -40, "StraightRebar", "Top Inside", "x-axis", 2, 30)

In above image, rebars crosses the tie.
This can be fixed by setting size of both ties equal.
I also discussed this with my civil engineer friends and according to them, diameter of all ties in column is equal in 99% cases.

Please give your suggestions about this.

Thanks,

Place inner ties to stirrup which has a bigger diameter. :)

To do as suggested above, we will not be able to use function makeSingleTieFourRebars.
So, I will re-implement function makeTwoTiesSixRebars to do this work.

You may do following:

1. Corners bars bent at 45 degrees to side.
2. Non-corner bars bent perpendicular to side

Above mean, all bars bent towards centre (almost) of section.

TwoTiesSixRebars.makeTwoTiesSixRebars(<snip>)
TwoTiesSixRebars.makeTwoTiesSixRebars()

may be named as:

TwoTiesSixRebars.make()

I mean, rather than

foo.foo()

use

foo.make()

Take it 100%
110 % !! because it's for shear resistance and must be equal i think.
