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 Cap: Pier cap or bent 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: Select a section that contains longitudinal rebars. This section will be used for capacity computations at the proposed station entered in the 'Station of Section from Right End' parameter.
Transverse Reinforcement Profile: Select the transverse reinforcement profile
Spacing of the Transverse Reinforcement:
No. of Legs of Transverse Reinforcement:
Station of Section from Right End:
Check For[Flexure Only/All]: The rigid beam connection between the pier and the pier cap may lead to high shear forces in a station located within the pier region during finite element analysis. As a result, evaluating shear in these areas may result in incorrect predictions of failure. To mitigate this issue, users can opt to examine flexure only in these regions.
