Application 1. Reinforced Concrete Structure

This example of Reinforced Concrete is composed for users to acquire a general understanding of creating structural drawings by using the design results of midas Gen. Before using midas DrawingShop in an actual project, it is highly recommended that you exercise the examples with a complete understanding ofPrinciple of Drawingavailable in the Users Guide. In this example, the process of generating structural drawings of a Reinforced Concrete structure using midas DrawingShop is explained below.

Define proportioning method of legs for Column Ties. 1) midas Gen: Arrangement according to the number of legs designed in midas Gen. 2) Spacing Rule: Ignore the number of legs designed in Gen; replace the ties according to arrangement rules considering constructability. 3) Select Max.: Arrange using maximum number of legs calculated from (1) and (2). 6. If you check Auto-adjustment of rebars to defined spacing, it is possible to rearrange the spacing according to the spacing of reinforcement defined in Tools>Preferences>Spacing. 7.

By Members Import design results of midas Gen by members. It is possible to rearrange the placement of reinforcement considering constructability by using the required rebar area for each member calculated in Gen. By Sections Assign the most conservative results to all members which have the same section IDs. If you give section numbers considering member grouping in midas Gen, then check on By sections. In this case, the name of group is determined from the section name you defined in midas Gen. You can also rearrange the placement of reinforcement considering constructability.

Edit Reinforcement Information

You can edit rebars designed by midas Gen or auto-placed byAuto-Placement of Rebars. There are two ways to edit information of bar arrangement in DrawingShop. (1) Method 1: Editing each member by double clicking. (2) Method 2 : Editing bar arrangements in a Table. Method 1: Edit each member by double clicking on the member as shown below.

You dont need to edit the information of bar arrangement if you use the information of rebars designed by midas Gen.

1. To edit bar arrangement for individual members, double click each member. (You can modify the bar arrangement as required. A Warning Dialogue will appear if any rules of bar arrangement are not followed.)

Apply to Member when you want to apply the modified details only to 2. Click a specific member. If you want to use the same details for all members in the group then click 3. Click Apply to Group. after modifying all the information for bar arrangement.

Method 2: Editing bar arrangements in Table is as shown below. 1. Execute Model>Beam>Change Rebars on Table. (You can modify the bar arrangement as required. A Warning Dialogue will appear if any rules of bar arrangement are not followed.) 2. It is possible to select members individually by using Select button.

Otherwise, you can also select multiple members in the same column at one time by selecting members while holding CtrlKey. 1) If you click a member (Beam) on plan with holding CtrlKey, then all members on Continuous Beam are selected. 2) Vertical member(Column or Wall) of all floors are selected by clicking and holding CtrlKey on plan. 3. The procedure to apply the modified details to each member is the same as in Method 1.

All the members of the selected group appear on the grid. 3. If you want to move some members of the selected group to another group, select the members marked with this grid name and then click the arrow button. 4. Move the selected member to another group now. If you want to change it to an existing group, choose that group in the Combo Box input a new group name in 5. Click 6. Click .

A warning message will appear if the amount of reinforcement is less than that of the existing members in the group.

Define Similar Floors

Once grouping by sections is complete, start to group by floors. You can bundle several floors into one with this option. It is possible to define Beam/Column/Bracing/Wall by floors.

1. Click Model>Assign story group to auto-define one floor group which has the same number, length and dimension of member. (It is possible to redefine the floor group which was auto-set after checking.) 2. Defined floor groups will be reflected when making member lists.
