Semantic definitions at the entity

Entity definition

Describes required or provided reinforcement area of surface members.

NOTE Member design parameters like concrete cover, effective depth, orientation of meshes or rebars (two, optionally three directions) etc. are not specified in IfcStructuralLoadResource schema. They shall be specified at the level of structural members.

HISTORY New entity in IFC4.

Attribute definitions

#	Attribute	Type	Cardinality	Description	G
2	SurfaceReinforcement1	IfcLengthMeasure	? L[2:3]	Reinforcement at the face of the member which is located at the side of the positive local z direction of the surface member. Specified as area per length, e.g. square metre per metre (hence length measure, e.g. metre). The reinforcement area may be specified for two or three directions of reinforcement bars.	X
3	SurfaceReinforcement2	IfcLengthMeasure	? L[2:3]	Reinforcement at the face of the member which is located at the side of the negative local z direction of the surface member. Specified as area per length, e.g. square metre per metre (hence length measure, e.g. metre). The reinforcement area may be specified for two or three directions of reinforcement bars.	X
4	ShearReinforcement	IfcRatioMeasure	?	Shear reinforcement. Specified as area per area, e.g. square metre per square metre (hence ratio measure, i.e. unitless).	X

Formal Propositions
