Shear Stud Code Check (AASHTO) [STG]

General

Reinforcement

Input Data Preference [Override Deck Rebar/Use Deck Rebar]: For deck rebar to be used in girder code checks, users are provided with two options. The code checks can either be conducted using the modeled deck rebar or with new rebar definitions.

If the input data preference is defined with the option 'Override Deck Rebar,' the parameters listed below can be used to define the rebars for code checks. Otherwise, if the input data preference is defined with the option 'Use Deck Rebar,' the parameters below will not be applicable.

Lumped Top Reinforcement Area within the Effective Width: This parameter can be used to specify the lumped reinforcement area within the effective width when overriding deck rebar.

Distance from the Centerline of Top Bars to the Top of the Deck: This parameter can be used to define the distance from the centerline of the top reinforcement bars to the top of the deck.

Lumped Bottom Reinforcement Area within the Effective Width: This parameter can be used to specify the lumped reinforcement area within the effective width for the bottom deck rebar.

Distance from the Centerline of Bottom Bars to the Bottom of the Deck: This parameter can be used to define the distance from the centerline of the bottom reinforcement bars to the bottom of the deck.

Deck Rebar Material: This parameter can be used to specify the material used for the deck rebars.
