Footing Reinforcement Design
Configure orthogonal reinforcement meshes for top and bottom faces of structural foundations.

The interface provides a real-time 2D representation of the rebar layout, illustrating the spacing and orientation of the primary and secondary bars within the footing boundary.
Configurations
Define the quantity, diameter, and spaci ng for both the Top and Bottom reinforcement layers.
Bottom Face
Bottom Reinforcement
Primary tension reinforcement. Configure Quantity and Diameter for both directions, or specify Spacing for automated distribution.
Top Face
Top Reinforcement
Configure shrinkage or compression reinforcement for the top face. Includes independent toggles for Diameter and Quantity.
Geometry & Concrete Cover
Specify the physical constraints and anchorage requirements for the rebar sets.
| Parameter | Definition | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hook Lengths | Anchorage Geometry | Define the physical length of rebar hooks at the ends of bars to ensure proper bond strength. |
| Concrete Cover | Protection Layer | The distance from the concrete surface to the outer edge of the reinforcement. Critical for durability and fire resistance. |
| Spacing | Distribution Logic | Calculates the center-to-center distance between bars based on the total width of the foundation. |
