RC and P/T Deisgn Codes
- Traditional reinforced concrete design
- Post-tensioned concrete design
- Considers lateral loads and secondary
- PT stresses Design to 10 current international codes:
- ACI 318-08
- AS 3600-01
- BS 8110-97
- CSA A23.3-04
- Eurocode 2-2004
- Hong Kong CP-04
- IS 456-2000
- NZS 3101-06
- Singapore CP-65-99
Strip Based Design
- Design of non-orthogonal, varying width strips
- Design done at multiple stations per span
- Code minimum reinforcement requirements considered
- Required reinforcement area, intensity or number of bars plotted
FEM Based Slab Design
- Finite element based design does not require design strips
- Ideal for complex geometry where defining strips is difficult
- Contour plots of rebar intensity
- Averaging of peaks over user-defined width
- Identifies “hot spots” for reinforcing design
Beam Design
- Design of conventional and post-tensioned concrete beams
- Design done at multiple stations per span
- Code minimum reinforcement requirements considered
- Flexure, shear, and torsion design
Punching Shear Check/Design
- Considers column location
- Considers openings and slab edges
- Additional drop panel check
- User over-writeable perimeter and openings
- Design punching reinforcement ties or shear studs if required
P/T Stress Checks
- Checks done for transfer, final, and long-term
- Stress limits in design preferences
- Top and bottom stress contours
- Demand capacity ratio contours
- Mouse over for instantaneous values
