Algorithm For Steel bar in Concrete
Algorithm For Steel bar in Concrete
(OP)
Hi,
I need an algorithm which is capable to calculate the Steel bars in a given concrete cross-section where moment, shear-force, normal force and cross-section properties is known.
Can you direct me to sites or source - code in any language will be appreciated much more .

In the UK the current standard is BS 8110 Structural use of concrete. The eurocode is BS EN 1992. There are numerous others. There are also a large number of textbooks on the subject. You could try Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete by Kong and Evans or the Reinforced Concrete Designers Handbook by Reynolds and Steedman.

Kind REgards,

BTW, when you refer to normal force, is this to be construed to mean axial force?

You are right henri2, and I didn't say that I'll ignore these steps/procedures. To addopt them to the local code/regulation won't be a hard task to be performed ( in my idea) as a result most of European contries uses the LRFD approach just coefficients are changing. What I was trying to benefit from forum is just good entry-point where I'll start my search.
Normal force = axial force

As a side note most European countries use ultimate limit state design, which is slightly different to LRFD. In LRFD you apply you load factors to the loading only. In ULS design there are partial factor of safety applied to the load and partial factors of safety applied to the materials (to take variation into account).
To confuse the issue even more, the codes in each country are all different. This is the reason the Eurocodes have been developed, to attempt to standardise the design across Europe.

alorithms are more than formula, as we know the computers understands only one and one language(programming language)translated by their interpreter. I'm supposed to write (algorithms) to clarify everything to the computer by programming language, it includes the formulas as well as syntax which I need to pay attention.
Probably this issue is more related with sofware thread rather than structural/civil eng. thread. But I thought that the some of eng. may have interest with it and they'd like to share it with others.
Thank you
Kind Regards,

Fair cop, I stand corrected, I was under the impression it was just the load that was factored. I should maybe research my facts a bit.

sounds like a good idea, I think doing it that way will suit best for computers, but to be honest I haven't been much into that curve developing:(. Anyway, at least good start point.
Thanks,

I know of some programs in Basic which addressed this as well as some intereting routines that were developed on a Wang 600 and definitely on the HP and TI programable hand calculators.
Check the ACI and the ASCE archieves.
