Question:

For the design of a rectangular cross-section, I can only select circumferential reinforcement. Why is that?



Answer:

If any circular cross-sections are available in a structure, they can only be designed with circumferential reinforcement (Figure 01). This is due to the fact that there is no "top" and "bottom" for a circular cross-section.



Only one reinforcement layout can be defined for each reinforcement group in RF-CONCRETE Members. If the circular cross-section and the rectangular cross-section are designed together, only the circumferential reinforcement can be used for all cross-sections.



To avoid this restriction, you have to define another or separate reinforcement group (Figure 02).
