Is there a way to calculate the sum of required reinforcement per panel or number of panels.
In my case I have a structure where upon removing certain panels I would like to quickly quantify the overall reinforcement increase (%) with the same deflection/crack width requirements.
Kind regards,
Adrian
No, there is not as the values are calculated in nodes and elements centers. You could make some estimation based on area of surface element (provided it is square) as well as area of reinforcement in its center (assuming that this value is similar to the values in this element's nodes) exporting the reinforcement table to Excel if such approximations is acceptable. Otherwise you need to check the values for each of the panel or group of panels designed together in the RC Slab Provided Reinforcement module.
