add_bar_circular_array(geometry: Union[Geometry, CompoundGeometry], area: float, material: Steel, n_bar: int, r_array: float, theta_0: Optional[float] = 0, ctr: Optional[Tuple[float]] = (0, 0), n: Optional[int] = 4) → CompoundGeometry[source]#

Adds a circular array of reinforcing bars 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 news bar will be added

  • area (float) – Bar cross-sectional area

  • material (Steel) – Material object for the bar

  • n_bar (int) – Number of bars in the array

  • r_array (float) – Radius of the circular array

  • theta_0 (Optional[float]) – Initial angle (in radians) that the first bar makes with the horizontal axis in the circular array

  • ctr (Optional[Tuple[float]]) – Centre of the circular array

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

Returns

Reinforced concrete geometry with added bar

Return type

sectionproperties.pre.geometry.CompoundGeometry
