retaining walls
corbels and deep beams
section capacity for slabs, beams and columns
strengthening of plates, beams and columns with FRP (fibre
reinforced polymers)
With this program you can very easily design various concrete
components. For each of them, you just specify the basic dimensions, loads and material
properties, and you obtain the detailed concrete design. The dimensioning is according to
Eurocode 2, with supplement of Eurocode 7 for geotechnical analysis (footings, retaining
walls), Eurocode 1 for load combinations, and Eurocode 8 for seismic loading. A combined
detailed report and reinforcing steel schedule is produced for the designed concrete
components. Assumptions and references to design codes are shown in the report. The design
code parameters, as well as default values, can be adjusted by the user. The reinforcing
steel schedule can be edited with a specialised editor which is included. In addition a
set of engineering tools (unit conversion, computation of areas, moments of inertia,
standard steel sections etc.) are included in the program.

Steel Schedule
Detailed steel schedule, for the design objects
you select. You can modify and update the steel schedule with a special editor, with ready
steel bar menus.
Report preview
Full
report preview. The reports are very analytical, showing all the computations, with
references to the design code paragraphs. The computational errors, or inadequate
dimensioning, are shown in red.
Parameters-Design Rules
You can select various combinations of design codes.
for reinforced concrete: Eurocode 2 (EC2) or
National Code
for geotechnical design: Eurocode 7 (EC7) or
Allowable stresses
for gravity type retaining walls (gravity
stone or concrete walls): Eurocode 6 (EC) or Allowable stresses.
The code parameters, as well as default
values can be adjusted by the user.
