Reinforcement

With version 19.0, RTwalls now has a program environment that makes graphic-interactive editing even easier and opens upat the same time  new possibilities. With the result output via RTreport, different output formats as short, long and detail lists can now be individually adapted to the requirements of the user or an individual project. The following new features are available:

• New program environment with overview at a glance
• Practical user guidance for different wall types
• Simple quick input for every wall type
• User-oriented modular concept for sheet piles, soldier pile walls, bored pile walls and slotted walls
• Menu band for input, calculation and design as well as evaluation
• Modern program environment with tree views, table input and clear property table
• Various functional enhancements such as preview/optimization of geotechnical verifications
• Differentiation of loads using load cases with attributes
• Optional user-defined combination of loads according to predefined design situations
• New output list with individual configuration and filter options
• Adaptation to the latest version of the Eurocodes and executability under Windows®10

Extension of the full version of the ZEICON® CAD system for the creation of reinforcement plans:

• Generation of bended steel bars
• Relocate steel bars and reinforcement mats in views, projections and sections
• Automatically updated bending schedules, free layout
• Reinforcement tool for quick and easy placement of reinforcement
• Creation of reinforcement mats
• Placement of planar mats individually and in selected areas
• Transfer of design specifications from TRIMAS® and RTslab
• Automatic adaptation of As-values for steel bars and mats
• Automatic and associative reinforcement labelling
• Mat optimisation and layout drafts
• Mat catalogue and steel catalogue with automatic generation of material, mats and steel schedules
• Intelligent macros for reinforcement design
• Option for 1:1 representation of bended steel bars to support standard reinforcement visualisation
• Detailed construction including high-strength steel

ZEICON® has a powerful reinforcement component with the following advantages:

• easy to operate and fast familiarisation
• continuous construction support during reinforcement and laying
• if modifications are made, all layings of rebar and mesh steel are updated with all steel lists
• integrated solutions for the structural component calculation and design supports the engineer-like design
• individual settings for a reinforcement-specific functionality
