How is the proof of "offset measure for longitudinal reinforcement" achieved when no splice joint etc. is present

[DeflectionPerfection]

Good day,

In a beam/plate beam of the type beam rod, I currently have the verification in the middle of the span:

Construction rules | Offset dimension for longitudinal reinforcement according to 9.2.1.3(2) not met.

Unfortunately, I do not quite understand what is being verified here, as when I think of the offset dimension, I think of the horizontal distance in the cross-section of two longitudinal bars in a lap splice/anchorage, but at this point in the middle of the span, such a splice does not exist.

I would be very grateful for feedback or help regarding the conducted verification:

Hi DeflectionPerfection,

Thank you for your message!

To analyze the problem more precisely, the model file would be very helpful:

Click on File → Save As and choose the following settings to reduce the file size:

Then upload the file here (e.g., *.rf6, *.rs9) – this way the community can also contribute to the solution.

Don’t want to share the file publicly? No problem – send it to me via direct message: click on my profile picture or my username → Message.

Hi DeflectionPerfection,

In the case of overstress of the cross-section (i.e., when UL 0100 > 1), a calculation of the steel stresses is no longer possible. However, these stresses are the basis for the structural verification DM 0205.

Therefore, in this case, only the utilization is displayed with reference to UL 0100.

---

As soon as UL 0100 is complied with (≤ 1.0),
the verification DM 0205 can be correctly performed and the corresponding verification format can be displayed.

If you have any further questions or need support, feel free to contact me anytime!
