Smeared reinforcements means that instead of drawing the bars as individual lines, you can use this option
How you calculated your ratio ?
Please send your model and questions to Cervenka@cervenka.cz

Hello, everyone

I am a graduate student.

I'm studying Atena GID for use in a research project.

I opened the file Small Cantilever With Torsion. It is in the Atena GiD exmaples.

I understand that Smeared Reinforcement is used as an alternative to stirrups modeling.

My question is,

1. In the example file, stirrups were modeled with 1-D Reinforcement and Smeared Reinforcement was also used. Do I need to enable Smeared Reinforcement and model the stirrups separately?

2. In the material model Cantilever 1
   Z-direction Smeared Reinforcing Ratio : 0.0025
   Y-direction Smeared Reinforcing Ratio : 0.0025

   In the material model Cantilever 2
   Z-direction Smeared Reinforcing Ratio : 0.0013
   X-direction Smeared Reinforcing Ratio : 0.0025

The ratios of Z-direction seem to be correct, but is this ratio correct for X,Y? My calculations give Y = 0.001727, X = 0.008796.

Thank you!!!
