Override section parameters The section and geometric properties of the element are determined automatically and these are the values in accordance with the regulations. However, if you want to change the element section properties, mark this line and give the relevant values to the ideCAD. The ideCAD automatically calculates zero values and accepts non-zero entries as much as the entered value. 2 axis moment of inertia The element is the minor moment of inertia. I = b 3 h / 12 3 axis moment of inertia The element is the major moment of inertia. I = bh 3 /12 50/25 For example, in a column three axis rectangular moment of inertia 50.50.50.25 / 12 = 260416 cm 4 is calculated as. Torsional moment of inertia It is the moment of inertia that defines the torsional stiffness of the element. Cross-sectional area It is the cross-sectional area value of the element. For example, in a 50/25 rectangular column, the cross section area of the element is 50.25 = 1250 cm 2 . Cutting area in 2 direction The element is the cutting area in the minor direction. Cutting area = 5/6. b. d For example, in a 50/25 rectangular column, 5 / 6.50.25 = 1041 cm2 Cutting area in 2 direction The element is the cutting area in the major direction. |
Conformance torsion check When marked, the torsion control in the beams is checked according to the conformity torsion condition. Td = Tcr is taken. When unchecked, the beam is checked for its equilibrium torsion. Tcr = Torsional cracking strength of the section Td = torque value used in control Conformity torsion = If the presence of torsional moment in a system is not necessary for equilibrium, that is torsional fitness torsion. If the option is not selected, the torsion control in the beams is controlled according to the condition of the balance torsion. Td = Tdhesap Td = torque value used in control Tdhesap = Largest design torsion moment found after analysis Equilibrium torsion = Torsion is equilibrium torsion if the structural element and the system need torsional moment to maintain balance. |
PMM design With the PMM design option, beam design is made with the interaction of axial force and biaxial bending. |
This beam is a support for a cantilever slab If the beam cantilever is the support of a floor, this option can be selected. Otherwise, it should not be marked. |
This beam is a shearwall coupling beam If the option is selected, it ensures the automatic implementation of the commitment degree control in TBDY 2018 Article 4.5.4, regardless of the length / height ratio of the beams between the two walls. If the option is unchecked, the ideCAD automatically applies the degree of adherence control for beams between two walls, with length and height ratio less than 5 (l / h ≤5). You can see these beams under the heading of tie beam degree in the general report of the earthquake regulation. Also, whether cross reinforcement design can be made or not according to TBDY 2018 Article 7.6.8 depends on this option. In order to apply "cross reinforcement", the option of cross reinforcement should also be selected. |

Bend bars at left end If the beam is not continuous, the reinforcements are drawn in a square on the relevant support. If the beam is continuous, the reinforcements are also drawn continuously. This option allows the reinforcement to be set square even if the beam is continuous. The rebars are folded into the column on the left column support. |
Use beam continuity at right end If the beam is continuous, the continuous beams will automatically be the same continuous and this option is automatically checked. If the option is deselected, the canceled beam will not be drawn continuously and will be detached from the adjacent beam at the right end. For example, let's consider a 2 span continuous beam system. Normally for the 1st span, the option "always accept beam at right end" is selected. If the mark is removed, the 1st and 2nd beams are drawn as separate parts. |
Join top bars to neighbour beam at right end In continuous beams, the upper reinforcements are arranged in one piece to ensure the 12-meter condition whenever possible. If this option is not selected, top reinforcements are placed by cutting on the support. |
Bend bars at right end If the beam is not continuous, the reinforcements are drawn in a square on the relevant support. If the beam is continuous, the reinforcements are also drawn continuously. This option allows the reinforcement to be set square even if the beam is continuous. The rebars are folded into the column on the right column support. |
Determine partial passing bars at right end This option, which is set for continuous but different beams, regulates whether a certain proportion of the rebars will be transferred to the other beam. In two continuous beams of different widths, if this option is selected, the reinforcement transition is arranged by taking into account the ratio found from the section of beam widths. For example, let the width of the 1st beam 50 cm and the width of the 2nd beam 25 cm. 25/50 = 0.5 ratio. The number of reinforcement, for example, is 4 straight reinforcement. 2 pieces of reinforcement will make partial transition, and 2 pieces of reinforcement will be cut with a square. |
Join bottom bars to neighbour beam at right end In continuous beams, straight reinforcements are arranged in one piece to ensure the 12-meter condition whenever possible. In short, it is passed on the lower bearing without any additional. If this option is not selected, flat reinforcements are placed in the support by cutting. |
Left support override/Right support override If a beam is supported to the junction point of more than one panel, it is determined from these boxes which panel will be drawn as the support of this beam in the drawings. The appropriate panel name is written in the box. |
Use diagonal reinforcement It is the option for reinforcing tie beams between rigid walls. When the option is selected, the reinforcement type given in TBDY 2018 Article 7.6.8.2 is applied. |
Design without bent up bars If the option is checked, the pillar design is not made on the beams. The beam is reinforced with upper and lower straight reinforcement. |
Two bent up bars If you want to break the double piles on the beam, this option should be marked by clicking. |
Bent up bar angle How many degrees to break the beam pile is entered. The moment is brought to zero point due to the column to the pillar and it is broken by the value written here. |
BU/Total min Determines the minimum percentage of the total area of reinforcement in the span in the beam to be arranged as pleats. This value is used in conjunction with the defined straight and pleat diameters in the reinforcement selection and the "minimum distance between two reinforcements", "reinforcement margin" and "combination range allowed to select reinforcement", which can be defined in the analysis settings. |
BU/Total max Determines the maximum percentage of the total area of reinforcement in the span in the beam to be arranged in piles. This value is used in conjunction with the "minimum distance between two rebars", "rebar margin" and "combination range allowed to select reinforcement", which can be defined in the analysis settings with the flat and pleat diameters defined in the reinforcement selection. |
Two stirrups Except for the stirrup condition that can be defined in the double beam parameters, double stirrups are marked by clicking if desired. |
All densified stirrups Stirrup tightening in beams is made according to earthquake regulations. According to the regulation, the densification zone is created at a distance of 2 times the beam depth from the column face. If this option is selected, complete stirrup tightening is performed on the beam regardless of the regulation conditions and beam length. |

Apply TBDY 3.2.3 (Automatic stiffness reduction forcoupling beams between shearwalls) When calculating according to TBDY 2007, section stiffnesses to be used in TBDY Article 3.2.3 "structural system calculation, section stiffnesses of the uncracked section will be used in the structural system calculation to be made with the methods given in Section 2. However, values of the cracked section can be used in beams that are stuck to the walls in their own planes and in the tie beams of the tie beam (hollow) walls. If this option is activated for beams connected from both sides in the plane of the wall based on the condition “, the moment of inertia of the beam is automatically reduced by 50%. |
TS500 cracking limit The upper limit to be considered for crack control of beam elements is determined by selecting the relevant option. The upper limit values are the values specified in TS500. |
Deflection control limits Deflection control upper limit values are determined from these options. Fixed values are taken from TS500 and you can also set limit values yourself. If "deflection control" option is selected, instantaneous and temporal deflection control is performed on the beams even if the "deflection condition is a height condition that does not require deflection control". |
