Reinforced assymmetric general shape section

[Marta Mateus]

Dear SeismoStruct,
How can I define an assymmetric reinforced concret T section? Reinforcement patterns are not supported by the assymmetric general-shape section. Is there a chance of developing a Reinforced assymmetric general shape section in the future?
Thanks,
Marta

Can anybody help me in this matter?
Thank you.

Dear Marta,

We thought yours was a wish for future developments, rather than a request for assistance, hence the absence of a response.

In any case, answering to your question, can you not simply define explicitely the location of the rebars, using the 'Add Bar' function?

I can not simply define explicitely the location of the rebars because the program doesn't give me that chance... I only can select "Edit Reinforcement Pattern" but then the following message apears: "reinforced patterns are not supported for the agss section type".

Thanks,
Marta

Yes, of course, but can you not use the reinforced concrete T-section, with explicit definition of the rebars?

If you cannot (maybe you are loading your beam on its weak axis or something), well, then, in such case yours will indeed remain as a request for future additions to the program (it's certainly something that we will want to do some time in the (long term) future).
