Define the longitudinal reinforcement layout.

‍NOTE: Longitudinal reinforcement may be used in moment capacity and shear capacity computations. However, the options to use it must be enabled in the current Project Criteria. Refer to the Longitudinal Reinforcement section in the Technical Guide for a discussion on how longitudinal rebars are used in analysis.

‍NOTE: Be careful to ensure longitindal reinforcement, pretension strands, and post-tensioning ducts do not conflict. Geometric conflicts are not automatically detected.

Item	Description
Reinforcement Material	Select the appropriate mild steel for longitudinal rebar
Reinforcement	Describe the reinforcement in the grid. See below for details.
[Insert Row]	Inserts a row into the grid
[Delete Row]	Deletes the selected rows from the grid
[Append Row]	Appends a row to the bottom of the grid
[Restore to Library Defaults]	Removes all reinforcement from the grid and copies the reinforcement from the girder definition.

Describing the Reinforcement

The reinforcement is described in the Reinforcement grid with the following parameters

Item	Description
Measured From	Defines the datum for locating the start point of the reinforcing bar. Segments that extend beyond the end of the girder are truncated at the end of the girder. Full Length and Mid-Girder-End segments grow and shrink as the girder length changes.
Distance from End	Defines the location of the start point of the reinforcing bar.
Bar Length	Defines the length of the bar
Girder Face	Rebar rows may be measured either from the top or bottom face of the girder.
Cover	Enter the distance between the specified (top or bottom) girder face to the outside nominal diameter for the specified bar.
Bar Size	Select from the available standard bar sizes that may be used for longitudinal rebar.
# of Bars	Specify the number of bars to be placed in the row.
Spacing	Enter the center-to-center rebar spacing.
Anchored Left/Right	Bars measured as Full Length or from the Left and Right Ends with a Distance From End of 0.0 can be designated as Anchored. Anchored bars are assumed to be anchored into adjacent structural elements such as a pier or abutment diaphragm or a closure joint for spliced girder segments. Anchored bars are assumed to be fully developed at the face of the member as well as at the centerline of adjacent diaphragms.

All cells in the grid must be filled in. Blank cells are considered incomplete data.

‍NOTE: The assumption of anchorage is not verified by the software. The engineer has the responsibility to ensure anchorage can be achieved.
