add_bar#

concreteproperties.pre.add_bar(geometry: Geometry | CompoundGeometry, area: float, material: SteelBar | SteelStrand, x: float, y: float, n: int = 4) → CompoundGeometry[source]#

Adds a reinforcing bar to a sectionproperties geometry.

Bars are discretised by four points by default.

Parameters:

  • geometry (Geometry | CompoundGeometry) – Reinforced concrete geometry to which the new bar will be added

  • area (float) – Bar cross-sectional area

  • material (SteelBar | SteelStrand) – Material object for the bar

  • x (float) – x-position of the bar

  • y (float) – y-position of the bar

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

Returns:

Reinforced concrete geometry with added bar

Return type:

CompoundGeometry
