Select your element type from the main dashboard. Input the cross-sectional dimensions (width, depth, clear span). Define material properties by entering the specified compressive strength of concrete ( fc′f sub c prime ) and the yield strength of reinforcing steel ( Step 2: Load Input and Combinations
Designs flexural reinforcement and checks shear capacity, including punching shear around columns. Version 1
The software primarily adheres to various iterations of the code (including ACI 318-19, 318-14, and 318-11). It automatically checks geometric constraints, minimum and maximum reinforcement ratios, bar spacing, and development lengths. Key Features in Version 1.7.8.5
Handles corbels, brackets, and beam ledges, while managing serviceability requirements like crack width and deflection checks. Documentation: A typical design session follows a clear path:
Proceed with deployment to the Staging Environment immediately. Schedule Production deployment for the upcoming maintenance window (Saturday, 02:00 AM – 04:00 AM).
