Integral Bent Cap Code Check [CBG]

General

Code Check Template: The code check template is utilized to extract global parameters, results from finite element analysis, and limit states employed in the design process.

Integral Bent Cap: Integral bent cap for code check. The selected object is only used for extracting the results of an analysis and performing demand computation. Capacity computation will rely on the reinforcement information and section collected in this section.

Section: Select a section that contains longitudinal rebars. This section will be used for capacity computations at the proposed station entered in the 'Station of Section from Right End' parameter.

Station of Section from Right End [ft]: The distance from the right end (when looking upstream along the PGL) of the bent cap, where the code checks will be performed.

Check For [Flexure Only/All]: Flexure Only option checks flexure only to avoid high shear predictions at rigid connections; All option performs complete flexure and shear code checks.

PDF Name (Export): This parameter allows the name of the code check document to be modified when saving it as a PDF. When renaming the file, special attention must be given to the text characters on the linked page, as certain characters may interfere with parametric equations and lead to unexpected results.

Transverse Reinforcement

Transverse Reinforcement Profile: This parameter can be used to select the transverse reinforcement profile.

Spacing of the transverse reinforcement [in]: This parameter can be used to specify the spacing of the transverse reinforcement.

No. of Legs of Transverse Reinforcement [in]: This parameter can be used to indicate the number of legs of the transverse reinforcement.

Side Face Reinforcement

Side Face/Skin Reinforcement: Specifies the side face or skin reinforcement configuration for the bent cap section.
