Flexural Reinforcement Detailing (BRD)
Longitudinal reinforcement detailing is applied automatically in accordance with Codes.
Longitudinal reinforcement detailing is applied according to Codes in earthquake resistant structure beams.
International Design Codes
ACI 318-19 : Flexural Reinforcement (BRD) per ACI 318-19 with ideCAD
TSC 2018 : Longitudinal Reinforcement Detailing for Beams.
Notation in ACI 318-19
bw = web width or diameter of circular section, in.
d = distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid of longitudinal tension reinforcement, in.
db = nominal diameter of bar, wire, or prestressing strand, in
fy = specified yield strength of nonprestressed reinforcement, psi
fyt = specified yield strength of transverse reinforcement, psi
h = overall thickness, height, or depth of member, in.
la = additional embedment length beyond centerline of support or point of inflection, in.
ld = development length in tension of deformed bar, deformed wire, plain and deformed welded wire reinforcement, or pretensioned strand, in.
lu = unsupported length of column or wall, in.
Mn = nominal flexural strength at section, in.-lb
