<transverseReinforcement>

This part contains segments with transverse reinforcement. It is an optional part of XML file. Every segment is marked by the element <transverseReinforcement>. This element supports following attributes:

start	The beginning of a segment. If not defined, the member beginning is considered
end	The end of a segment. If not defined, the member beginning is considered
diagonalAngle	The angle of compression struts, if not specified, the value is calculated by the software
ratio_zd	The ratio z/d, range (0;1), if not specified, the value is calculated by the software

Other attributes differ according to the reinforcement type:

Boundary stirrups

The element <boundary> is used for this type of reinforcement. It supports following attributes:

diameter	Diameter
distance	Distance between sitrrups
kind	Style of torsion analysis. Available values: "shear" (consider stirrups only for shear), "auto" (split between shear and torsion automatically), "user" (user-defined ration of split between shear and torsion. The ratio has to be defined by the additional attribute "ratio")

Vertical ties (inner stirrups)

The element <zstirrups> is used for this type of reinforcement. It supports following attributes:

diameter	Diameter
distance	Distance between sitrrups, default value is equal to the distance of boundary stirrups
count	Count of ties

Horizontal ties (inner stirrups)

The element <ystirrups> is used for this type of reinforcement. It supports following attributes:

diameter	Diameter
distance	Distance between sitrrups, default value is equal to the distance of boundary stirrups
count	Count of ties

Vertical bent-up bars

The element <zbends> is used for this type of reinforcement. It supports following attributes:

diameter	Diameter
distance	distance between bent-up bars along the member length. If not specified, one bent-up bar is considered
count	Count of bars on one position
angle	Pitch

Horizontal bent-up bars

The element <ybends> is used for this type of reinforcement. It supports following attributes:

diameter	Diameter
distance	distance between bent-up bars along the member length. If not specified, one bent-up bar is considered
count	Count of bars on one position
angle	Pitch
