Hi,

I want to model a circular column section with bundles of longitudinal reinforcement but I don't know how to do it whith fibers. Would you please help me?
The examples are all with one layer of reinforcement, how about if it is two?

Thanks,
aisan

Shall we define two layers?

yes, you define two layers.

Thanks for your help Silvia,

If I define two layers shall I also divide my cover concrete into two parts one which is in the far out and one between the far out fibers and the inner fibers (say, with a thickness equal to rebar diameter).

Thanks,
aisan

whatever you think is appropriate.
