Reinforcement in partially loaded areas

This article is also available in:

Partially loaded areas are appreciated by a lot of structural engineers dedicated to pre-cast and bridge structures where huge concentrated forces can occur. Partially loaded areas were implemented in the previous version of IDEA StatiCa and version 20.1 brings an enhancement of this functionality. 

Now, you can design the reinforcement in the partially loaded area in a more effective way. The reinforcing bars are part of the CSFM model and the bond between concrete and bars is treated as perfect.
