Code Check Template: The code check template is utilized to extract global parameters, results from finite element analysis, and limit states employed in the design process.

Pier : Pier for code check. The selected object is only used for extracting the results of an analysis and performing demand computation. Capacity computation will rely on the reinforcement information and section collected in this section.

Section Code Check Loc and Rebar Data: Select a section that contains longitudinal rebars. This section will be used for capacity computations at the proposed station entered in the 'Force Station of Section from Right End(from Top of the Column)' parameter.

• Force Station(from Top of the Column): The code check station is measured from the right end when looking up-station from the alignmenttop of the column.

• Stirrup Rebar Profile: Choose the rebar profile.

• Spacing of Stirrups: The distance between each stirrup at the specified force station.

• Num. of legs in Dir X: The number of legs in the longitudinal direction along the PGL.

• Num. of legs in Dir Y: The number of legs in the transverse direction along the PGL.

• Stirrup Rebar material: Choose the material.

Shear Reinforcement Type[Spiral/Tie]: Spiral reinforcement is a continuous helical reinforcement used to resist lateral forces and provide confinement to the concrete core, while tie reinforcement connects two or more structural elements together to resist tensile forces and create a continuous load path for the structure.

Design Parameters

Effective Length Factor(K_eff) X dir.: Effective length factor for compression members specified in Article 4.6.2.5 in the longitudinal direction along the PGL.
Effective Length Factor(K_eff) Y dir.: Effective length factor for compression members specified in Article 4.6.2.5 in the transverse direction along the PGL.
