Reinforcements

The "Reinforcements" frame contains a table with a list of inputted reinforcements. Adding (editing) reinforcement is performed in the "New reinforcement (Modify interface properties)" dialog window. The inputted reinforcements can be edited on the desktop with the help of active objects.

Properties like reinforcement location, anchorage length from both left and right end and reinforcement strength must be specified. All inputted parameters can be modified only in the stage of construction, in which the reinforcement was introduced. In subsequent stages the geo-reinforcement can only be removed.

Reinforcements can also be introduced with help of a mouse click. Mouse input mode is determined by pressing buttons on the horizontal bar "Reinforcement". The following modes are available:

  • Add
 clicking the left mouse button allows for specifying the starting and end point of a reinforcement. A predefined grid can be used in the input mode. The starting point is always "attached" to the terrain. The coordinates of inputted points are automatically round up to two digits – both input modes (manual, mouse) are therefore identical
  • Modify
 clicking the left mouse button on already existing reinforcement opens the "Modify reinforcement property" dialog window, where the selected reinforcement can be modified
  • Remove
 clicking the left mouse button on reinforcement opens the dialog window to confirm the reinforcement removal – confirming this action then removes the reinforcement

Including reinforcements in the analysis is described in more detail in the theoretical part of the help.
