Some people use 1m width (thats very conservative i think, happen a lot in middle east but not in Asia). According to ACI you can have a very large strip like middle strip averaging all the fea contours in this width. So far now we dealt with orientation but what about strip width? Well thats variable practice. So you on actual site you put the same layout plus any additional reinforcement given by SAFE. Lets say you find out that 45 degree strips give you more economical reinforcement (probably because fea contours are 45 degrees w.r.t. You gotta decide (based on experience, economy etc) how and at what angle you gonna lay your strips (like actual site conditions). Now that is simple for simple slabs and geometry but complex in your case. But for that you have to decide things like Complex right.īut you have the ability to draw strips in SAFE. For that we need to have some assumptions width of bar strip width assuming a single bar will cover the contoured reinforcement in a limited width. Now unfortunately we dont have powder reinforcement (or atleast i dont know). Economical, realistic, interesting and easy. You put the reinforcement powder (or form like that) on slab based on fea contours. Think of it as you have reinforcement in the form of powder. Well yes contours plots are more (comparatively) realistic than strip reinforcement and economical too.
