ComputeACircle()

def Section.ComputeACircle

(

D

)

Function that computes the area of one circle (reinforcing bar or hoop).

Parameters

D	(float): Diameter of the circle (reinforcing bar of hoop).

Returns

float: Area the circle (for reinforcing bars or hoops).

ComputeRho()

def Section.ComputeRho	(		A,
			nr,
			A_tot
	)

Compute the ratio of area of a reinforcement to area of a section.

Parameters

A	(float): Area of reinforcement.
nr	(float): Number of reinforcement (allow float for computing ratio with different area; just convert the other areas to one and compute the equivalent n).
A_tot	(float): Area of the concrete.

Returns

float: Ratio.
