In Profis, tension or shear supplementary reinforcement can be selected but I can't find how to provide both at the same time. How do I do this?
Additionally, surface reinforcement limited to 16mm. I have longitudinal bars already in my beam which are 20mm diameter. Is it appropriate to use these or would I need to supply surface reinforcement as well?
Thanks for your question, yes there is an option to enable supplementary reinforcement for tensile and shear cases prior to casting of the concrete structure. In the software, please select the Tension option then scroll down to the bottom of the page and below c/edge - c/top there is a tick box with a message 'Apply the same parameters for shear supplementary reinforcement' Just tick / untick as required. As for the limitation regarding the rebar diameter this is taken from EC2 Part 4 Detailing of supplementary reinforcement.
Thanks for the follow up enquiry. There are a few things you can check if are getting a 0% contribution under a shear condition. The reinforcement must be in the direction of the shear load, the anchors are too far away from the reinforcement or too far away from the edge.
