Parameters with the ( % ) sign mean the percentage expression of the rebar ratio. It is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the reinforced concrete element to the rebar area expressed as a percentage. For example, when a “1” is written to the minimum percentage parameter, the rebar percentage is considered 1%. Since the percentage equivalent of a 0.01 rebar ratio is 1%, it is appropriate to write “1” to this parameter. |

Concrete cover |
 It is the distance from the center of gravity of the reinforcement to the outer face of the concrete. |
Min. tensile |
percentage |
 In the tensile zone, give the minimum percentage value to be used in the |
rebar calculation. The entered value is multiplied by the |
sectional area and the |
rebar selection is made in a way that is not less than the result. |
Min. tensile |
interval |
 In the tensile zone, give the smallest possible distance between two |
rebar bars. This value is taken into consideration in the selection of |
rebar. |
Max. tensile |
interval |
 In the tensile zone, give the value of the greatest possible distance between two rebars. This value is taken into consideration in the selection of |
rebar. |
Min. transverse |
percentage |
 Give the minimum percentage value to be used in horizontal |
rebars. The entered value is multiplied by the |
sectional area and the |
rebar selection is made in a way that is not less than the result. |
Min. transverse interval  Give the smallest possible distance between two rebars for use in horizontal rebars. This value is taken into consideration in the selection of rebar. |
Max. transverse |
interval |
 Give the maximum possible distance between two reinforcement bars to be used in horizontal reinforcements. This value is taken into consideration in the selection of reinforcement. |
Min. |
compression percentage  In the pressure zone, give the minimum percentage value to be used in |
rebar calculation. The entered value is multiplied by the |
sectional area and the |
rebar selection is made in a way that is not less than the result. |
Min. |
compression interval  Give the smallest possible distance between two reinforcing bars in the pressure zone. This value is taken into account in the selection of reinforcement. |
Max. |
compression interval  Give the maximum possible distance between two reinforcing bars in the pressure zone. This value is taken into consideration in the selection of reinforcement. |
