Reinforcement in one layer but not in axis

[damianbiel]

Hello!

1. How can I create a single reinforcement which would be placed not in the axis of a wall, but near the edge ?

2. II would like to create a single almost-vertical reinforcement covered by 4 cm of concrete (from the exterior). What reinforcement direction should be taken? The wall is not perfectly vertical.

Hi,

1. How can I create a single reinforcement which would be placed not in the axis of a wall, but near the edge ?

Robot will always calculate both top/right and bottom/left reinforcement.

Set it as the global Z.

Ok, but there is a possibility to create a single reinforcement in the axis. I was wondering if I could move it to the one of the edges without duplicating it on the other side.

True but for tension/compression only (no bending). Looking at your picture I assumed you actually have bending in what looks like a sort of retaining wall. Am I correct?

Presented wall has such a complicated shape, because it is a chimney's segment. That's exacly what I want prepare for analysis (so there is neither tension/compression nor bending presented). I attach the project.

The problem is that I cannot model single reinforcement that is not placed in the wall centre.

This chimney has only "external" reinforcement hidden 4 cm under the edge. There is no reinforcement closer to the centre.

Such reinforcement arrangement is not supported in Robot but as I wrote if the reinforcement at the other (top) side is not needed its value will be calculated as zero.

Ok, I understood, thank you, dziękuję!
