Programs
Concrete Beam
Analysis and design according to Eurocode for continuous beams. Based on the moments and shear forces calculated in the analysis part; required longitudinal reinforcement and stirrups are determined. Optimization of required reinforcement lengths with regard to bond can be made graphically. In the Serviceability Limit State a cracked section deflection analysis is done and a design regarding crack widths and displacements to meet standard- or user defined requirements can be performed. Alternatively, cracks and displacements can be calculated based on specified reinforcement.
Concrete Column
Columns can be calculated according to Eurocode considering instability with the curvature- or the stiffness method. Either a design of required reinforcement or a check of specified reinforcement can be performed. Bending around the principal axes (biaxial bending) is checked and interaction diagrams are created.
Frame Analysis with Concrete Module
Plane structures with arbitrary geometry can be analyzed according to the 1st and 2nd order theory. Geometry is easily created through a point and click interface or for common structures the parametric Geometry & Loading module can be used. Standard steel-, concrete- and timber sections can be found in the
database or the user can define parametric sections.
With Concrete Module a structure can then be designed according to Eurocode. A cracked section analysis considering creep and shrinkage can also be performed. Instability is considered with user defined buckling lengths or by the 2nd order moments.
Concrete Section
Either a design of required reinforcement or a check of specified reinforcement can be performed for a number of parametric cross-sections. The software can handle applied moments and shear forces along the principal axes (skew bending) as well as axial force and torque. Reinforcement of various grades and diameters can be mixed with a powerful graphical management to build up an arbitrary reinforcement distribution.
Concrete Prestressed
Prestressed parametric, extruded cross-sections are caculated. Code-specific loadcases ensure that the complete lifespan of the structure is taken into account, from release to long-term servicability state. Prestressed elements created in IMPACT Precast can be sent to background calculation in Concrete Prestressed.
