Longitudinal reinforcement
- The thin line represents the theoretical reinforcement quantity required to fulfill the ultimate limit state.
- In the thicker line, these quantities have been increased where needed to take the limitations of stresses in the service limit state, with respect to the minimum percentage of reinforcement and possible risk of buckling into account.
Transverse reinforcement
- The thin line represents the theoretical reinforcement required to bear the shear force.
- In the thicker line, these quantities have been increased where needed to take torsion and the minimum reinforcement into account.
