add_bar_circular_array

concreteproperties.pre.add_bar_circular_array(geometry: Geometry | CompoundGeometry, area: float, material: SteelBar | SteelStrand, n_bar: int, r_array: float, theta_0: float = 0, ctr: tuple[float, float] = (0, 0), n: int = 4) → Geometry | CompoundGeometry[source]

Adds a circular array of reinforcing bars to a sectionproperties geometry.

Bars are discretised by four points by default.

Parameters:

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

  • area (float) – Bar cross-sectional area

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

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

  • r_array (float) – Radius of the circular array

  • theta_0 (float) – Initial angle (in radians) that the first bar makes with the horizontal axis in the circular array. Defaults to 0.

  • ctr (tuple[float, float]) – Centre of the circular array. Defaults to (0, 0).

  • n (int) – Number of points to discretise the bar circle. Defaults to 4.

Returns:

Reinforced concrete geometry with added bar

Return type:

Geometry | CompoundGeometry
