RC Beam design

[Anonymous]

Hello RSA community,

I've been facing some problems with the RC beam provided reinforcement options.
First of all, how can i design a beam as girder, noting that the girder option is always turned off whenever i go to RC Beam provided reinforcement module as shown in the picture below:


Secondly, when providing the beam top add reinforcement, robot places them on the same layer as the main top reinforcement whereas i want them on a second layer below the top reinforcement (noting that 2 layers decrease the effective depth of the depth thus i can not rely on the results of the 1 layer provided by robot).


So is there a way to place those 2 top add bars on a secondary layer below the top reinforcement?

Thanks a lot.

The RC Deep beam module is available for French Bael and Polish codes only.

Select and move these bars in the required position and then freeze the reinforcement before calculations.

Thank you for the girder explanation.
However, for the additional bars, i m not getting how to move them. I can only select them but i cant change their position.
