Splice in Area Reinforcement

Hello

Lets say I have a Flat Slab , and i want to reinforce it with a mesh , now since i have limitation on the stock length (12m) and the slab is about 42m by 36m , there should be a splice ,is there a way to show the splice location and its length ?

thanks in advance

Impossible.
Such things can be doing only manually by placing individual bars sets.

You can sketch the extents of the area reinforcement boundary to show the bar length you want and place the overlaps where you want as well.

Simply overlap your sketches the correct amount. 

 

However, to avoid creating perpendicular bars at the points where the sketches overlap, you will need to create two area reinforcements- One for each direction.  Instead of using each area reinforcement to create 4 layers (top Major, Top Minor, Bottom Major, Bottom Minor) only check the "Major" Layers in the properties dialog.  You can also provide an "additional offset"to keep the perpendicular bars from conflicting.

 

You may find it easier to control your reinforcement using an Area Reinforcements sketch rather than individual Rebar Sets.

How about percentage of lapped bars is 50% - make a two area reinforcements for each layer (eight area per slab region) ?

You Can try Structural Path Reinforcement Option. It helps to Alternate Lapping also
