Introduction
GaLa Reinforcement ® offers rapid design of reinforced concrete elements (columns,
beams) subjected to axial force and axial or bi-axial bending moments. The program
calculates the necessary area of reinforcing, checks the R/C cross-section capacity,
generates interaction failure surfaces, determines the strains, stresses, curvatures,
stiffnesses (creep, non-liner creep) and crack widths for any reinforced concrete
cross-section. Elements with complicated shapes can be designed. Both Metric and
Imperial units of measurement are supported.
After loading the program the dialog box shown below will appear :
The following types of calculations are possible :

ULS

Design section - The program calculates the necessary area of reinforcing.

Check section - The program checks the R/C cross-section capacity . The area of
reinforcing is provided by the user !
Failure surface - The program draws the interaction failure surfaces. The area of
SLS The area of reinforcing is provided by the user !
Stress - strain - The program calculates the R/C cross-section strains and stresses
corresponding to the applied external loads.
1/r - EI - The program calculates the R/C cross-section curvatures or stiffnesses
1/r - EI chart - The program draws the R/C cross-section curvature or stiffness chart.
Crack widths - The program calculates the R/C cross-section crack widths
Concrete design codes:
The following codes are supported:
· Eurocode 2 · ACI 318-99 · CSA-A23.3-94 · BS 8110· BDS 1988 · DIN 1045
· NZS 3101-95· UBC 97· AASHTO LRFD 1997· BDS HT 1989
Cross Section Type:
You may analyze the following R/C cross sections : rectangular, T section, I section ,
L section, U section, circular, donut and user defined.
WARNING : All load values must be entered in the format required for the
calculation.
WARNING : You start with the assumption that load values defined (axial forces
and moments) are applied to the center of masses of the concrete cross-section.

Reinforcement Type:
· Symmetric: As1 = As2
· Unsymmetric: As1<> As2 , As1+As2=min
· Bar positions: The user may define the geometry of the reinforcing bar
configuration.
