Pier Footing Code Check
Step 1: Click the three-dots icon on the Code Check Template cell, and then set PierFootCCT.
Step 2: As a result of these operations, an issue will appear on the OpenBrIM screen. This does not necessarily mean that any operation was done incorrectly. The issue will be resolved when the shear reinforcement profile in longitudinal direction, shear reinforcement profile in transverse direction and shear reinforcement material are defined in the next step.
Quick Tip: Learn how to read issues
When encountering the warning as seen in OpenBrIM app, there is a "issue" , it is advised to review the parameters you have provided. This warning suggests that there might be a missing or incorrect parameter in your input. Check inputs to ensure they are accurate and complete.
When a warning is clicked, the reason can be displayed. The warning is expressed in the format of Component Group Name (can be viewed in the treeview) > User Defined Component Name (can be viewed in the spreadsheet name column) > Parameter Name (can be viewed in the spreadsheet column header).
After clicking on 'Superstructure > Connections > Bolted Field Splice' in the tree view, navigate to the Bolt category. Set the Bolt Property input. The issue will be resolved after these steps.
The screenshot demonstrates one example of two Bolted Field Splice components named BFS1 and BFS2 by the user, with parameter names Flange Bolt Property and Web Bolt Property.
Step 3: Click the three-dots icon on the Pier Footing cell, and then set Footing1.
Step 4: Enter the Code Check Location (Dist. in Long. Dir. from Cent.) as 10**.**
Step 5: Enter the Code Check Location (Dist. in Trans. Dir. from Cent.) as 20**.**
Step 6: Keep the Check For as default.
Step 7: You can edit the Flexural Reinforcement parameters of Pier Footing Code Check from Flexural Reinforcement tab.
Click the three-dots icon on the Reinforcement Material cell, and then set A615_60.
Step 8: Click three-dots icon on the Longitudinal Direction Reinforcement cell and click Edit.
Step 9: Please set the following values sequentially:
1st row - Top or Bottom: Bottom Rebar Profile: ASTMA615No8 Spacing of Reinforcement: 10 Distance to Extreme Fiber: 4 2nd row - Top or Bottom: Top Rebar Profile: ASTMA615No8 Spacing of Reinforcement: 10 Distance to Extreme Fiber: 4
Step 10: Click three-dots icon on the Transverse Direction Reinforcement cell and click Edit.
Step 11: Please set the following values sequentially:
1st row - Top or Bottom: Bottom Rebar Profile: ASTMA615No8 Spacing of Reinforcement: 10 Distance to Extreme Fiber: 4 2nd row - Top or Bottom: Top Rebar Profile: ASTMA615No8 Spacing of Reinforcement: 10 Distance to Extreme Fiber: 4
Step 12: You can edit the Shear Reinforcement parameters of Pier Footing Code Check from Shear Reinforcement tab.
Click the three-dots icon on the Shear Reinforcement Profile in Longitudinal direction cell, and then set ASTMA615No5.
Step 13: Click the three-dots icon on the Shear Reinforcement Profile in Transverse direction cell, and then set ASTMA615No5.
Step 14: Click the three-dots icon on the Shear Reinforcement Material cell, and then set A615_60.
Step 15: Keep the Spacing in Longitudinal Direction, Spacing in Transverse Direction, No. of Legs in Longitudinal Direction, No. of Legs in Transverse Direction and Shear Reinforcement as default.
Step 16: Set name as PierFootCC.
