concreteproperties.pre.add_bar

add_bar(geometry: Union[Geometry, CompoundGeometry], area: float, material: Steel, x: float, y: float, n: Optional[int] = 4) → CompoundGeometry

Adds a reinforcing bar to a sectionproperties geometry.

Bars are discretised by four points by default.

Parameters

• geometry (Union[sectionproperties.pre.geometry.Geometry, sectionproperties.pre.geometry.CompoundGeometry]) – Reinforced concrete geometry to which the new bar will be added

• area (float) – Bar cross-sectional area

• material (Steel) – Material object for the bar

• x (float) – x-position of the bar

• y (float) – y-position of the bar

• n (Optional[int]) – Number of points to discretise the bar circle

Returns

Reinforced concrete geometry with added bar

Return type

sectionproperties.pre.geometry.CompoundGeometry
