Specifications (diameter and size designation) :
Rebar shape material is a solid steel material with a cross section that is round. Rebar shape material is not found in a shape file, but is defined in the Rebar Definition window.
Each " Reinforcing bar definition " contains the diameter, weight information, and other parameters for that " Size designation ". Reinforcing bar deformations are not accounted for by the diameter entry, nor do they appear in the model.
A rebar shape section size is designated as follows: REB+" Size designation " (example: REB#5 for a piece of #5 rebar.)
Specifications (other) :
Optionally, Rebar Coatings may be applied to the reinforcing bar. Rebar Usage Descriptions and ASTM Rebar Specifications are also defined for rebar shape material.
Submaterial piece marking :
The default material mark prefix for rebar shape is %(size)s%(shape)s_ , where %(size)s is the Rebar size, and %(shape)s is the template. You can also use your own prefix in this field.
Steel grades :
Steel grades that are available for rebar shape material are set up using the Concrete Options table of " Rebar Grades "
