Rebars [SIG]

Rebars can either be imported from a database or manually defined by the user.

Properties

Diameter: Represents the nominal diameter of the steel bar.

Area: Represents the cross-sectional area of the steel bar. Tools used for sectional analysis, such as moment capacity, rebar stress computation, moment curvature, and interaction diagram, rely on the cross-sectional area property of rebar instead of its diameter. This is due to the differences between the actual area and the area computed from diameter using the mathematical expression PI*r².

Weight: Represents the weight of the steel bar per unit length.
