Previously in the article Tekla Structures, Create Rectangular Tie Reinforcement I’ve explained how you can fill a column or beam with ties from one end to the other. In this article I will explain how you can create ties for only a part of the column or beam. For example:

• 10 ties spaced at 100mm starting from the end
• ties from the start to the middle of the column or beam

Step 1:

Create ties for the entire beam or column using the method explained in the article below:
