Ledge spandrel (55)

Creates typical flexural, shear, and ledge reinforcement for a ledge spandrel.

Reinforcement created

  • Prestress straight or depressed strands for flexural reinforcement in the spandrel stem

  • Mild longitudinal bars for flexural reinforcement

  • Mesh for shear reinforcement in the spandrel stem

  • Stirrups for shear reinforcement in the spandrel stem

  • Reinforcement mesh in the spandrel ledge

  • Stirrups for shear reinforcement in the spandrel ledge

  • Mild reinforcement in the ends of the spandrel

Use for

Situation

Straight and depressed prestress strands

Varying strand pattern and strand number

To define longitudinal reinforcement in the stem

When you want reinforcement mesh in the stem

When you want stirrups in the spandrel stem

To use reinforcement mesh in the spandrel ledge

To use stirrups in the spandrel ledge

To add mild reinforcement to the spandrel ends

Before you start

  • Create the concrete ledge spandrel.

  • Calculate the required area and quantity of strands and other reinforcement.

  • Define other reinforcement properties, such as debonding and pull values.

Defining properties

Use the following tabs in the Ledge spandrel automated reinforcement layout (55) dialog box to define the properties of the objects that this component creates:

Stem Mesh

Definition for the mesh to be used in the spandrel stem. Mesh can run the full length of the spandrel, or be placed in short sections at either end. Mesh size, spacing, clearances, and length are all entered here.

Stem Stirrups

Definitions for the bent bar reinforcement in the spandrel stem, including stirrup shape, bar size, end clearance, number of bars, and bar spacing in eight zones along the length of the spandrel.

End Rebar

Definitions for the bent bar reinforcement in the spandrel ends, including position, orientation, bar size and length, cover, and end clearance. Up to 6 horizontal bars may be defined.
