Why add extra reinforcement to welded mesh?

For a factory with a mesh welding machine it's very important that as much of the reinforcement that design think is needed for the element is added to the welded mesh. This will, of course, result in an easier process in the production when the element shall be put together. This article is a bout how to add reinfocement to the mesh for a FormSlab element.

Production settings

In Standard Admin there is a production setting that will be used when the command check produciability is used.

Figure 1: Check produciability FormSlab

If changes are made to the Reinforcement the Producability check will be used to check limitations. All not producible bars will be shown in red.

The setting Bar Dimension will reduce which possible bar diameters that are available and all other bar diameters will be red if checked.

Figure 3: Directions and  definitions

Longitudinal bars always lie parallel to the lattice girders in the tensioning direction.

Figure 4: Production settings intersection points

If the setting only orthogonal bars are set to yes only right angled bars are allowed.

Welded Mesh means that the mesh is welded in the production. Minimum intersection points means that the bar needs to be crossed by another bar that many times.

Figure 5: Grid longitudinal

The Grid longitudinal value is the interval of longitudinal bars. The bar is shifted to the nearest grid position. If the grid position is already occupied, the bars are fused together.

Figure 6: Spacing longitudinal

These values if the settings are activated (not in this example) are telling the max and min values for the placement of the longitudinal bars.

Figure 7: Grid transverse

The same setting as the Grid longitudinal value but in the transverse direction.

How to do it

The movie below describes with an example how to get the extra bars into the welded mesh for FormSlabs.
