General
- Ay – Representation of the longitudinal reinforcement parallel to the local axis y’. Therefore, in most cases, this is the lower and upper reinforcement.
- Az – Representation of the longitudinal reinforcement parallel to the local axis z’. Therefore, in most cases, the lateral reinforcement.
- Awz – Representation of the transversal reinforcement parallel to the local axis z’. Therefore, in most cases, the cross-section of vertical bracket slots of stirrups per length unit ofthe beam.
- Awy – Representation of the transversal reinforcement parallel to the local axis y’. Therefore, in most cases, the cross-section of horizontal bracket slots of stirrups per length unit
of the beam.
Circular column
For a circular column, the reinforcement zones are similar: the column is split into 4 quarters.
