[sanya greek]

Hello!

Is it possible to put Smooth Longitudinal Bars in Seismostruct (not Seismobuild)?

Thank you!!!

Dear sanya greek,

As it is mentioned in SeismoStruct's User Manual the Menegotto-Pinto steel model - stl_mp and the Monti-Nuti steel model - stl_mn with the correct calibration can also be employed for the modelling of smooth rebars.
If you are referring to the Code-based checks, you should select the "Smooth (Plain) Longitudinal Bars" check-box, available in the Advanced Member Properties module within the Code-based checks tab.
