# Beam Ledges Code Check \[CUG]

## Beam Ledges Code Check \[CUG]

## 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.

**Select Object:** Select a pier cap object to run beam ledge code checks on.

**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](https://docs.openbrim.org/faq/general/faq-illegal-chars) page, as certain characters may interfere with parametric equations and lead to unexpected results.

## Section Inputs

**Distance from bearing center to cap face:** Horizontal distance from the centerline of the bearing to the front face of the pier cap. Used as the shear span `av` in beam-ledge strength calculations.

**Bracket Height:**

**The width of the inverted T-beam stem:** Width of the inverted T-beam stem, used as `bw` in the shear capacity equations.

**The Width of Inverted T-Beam Stem:**

**Concrete Cover:**

## Reinforcement Inputs

**Primary Reinforcement:**

**Hanger Reinforcement:**

**Reinforcement Spacings:**

**Tie-Stirrup Reinforcement:**

**Number of legs for ties reinforcement:**

**Rebar Material:**

## Bearing Inputs

**Bearing Width (Transverse):**

**Bearing Length (Longitudinal):**
