Corbel reinforcement (81)

Corbel reinforcement (81) creates reinforcement for one or two corbels in a concrete column. The two corbels must have the same top level, thickness, and horizontal location.

Objects created

  • Main bars

  • Stirrups

  • Additional bars

Use for

Situation

Description

Two corbels, beveled and rounded, with the same top level, thickness, and horizontal location.

Two additional bars crossing each other.

One straight corbel.

One additional bar.

Limitations

Do not use Corbel reinforcement (81) for two very different corbels.

Before you start

  • Create the concrete column and beam(s).

  • Create the corbel(s). Use Corbel connection (14) or a Seating connection to create the corbel(s).

Selection order

  1. Select the main part (concrete column).

  2. Select the secondary part(s) (one or more corbels).

  3. Click the middle mouse button to create the reinforcement.

Main bars tab

Use the Main bars tab to control the main bar length, concrete cover thickness, reinforcing bar spacing, and reinforcing bar properties.
