Solid Modeling Output 1

[Fadhil93]

Hi everyone, I build a abutment and bridge pillar with 3d solid modelling in SAP2000. My problem is, How can I calculate reinforcement from a solid model? what stresses do i need to see and what all equations do i need to apply to get main reinforcement? Please, it's really make me stuck knowing I'm out of reference..

I have not heard before the approach to design reinforcement based on stresses. However, you can obtain integrated shears and moments by using section cuts. That information from section cuts should help you determine required reinforcement.

SAP also offers design of irregular concrete structures, but you need to model with shell elements instead of solids. This concrete design is documented in the SAP Help menu under Technical notes.

Thats why I'm in the stuck on my research,
As you say we can obtain integrated shears and moments by using section cuts. Do you know what section cuts that I have to use?
What is mean S11 S22 S33 anyway?
If I want to obtain the moment, is the formula --> Stress=(M.y/I)<----- am I can use this formula??
Sorry for long questions, I really need help here..
