Cross Section Analysis & Design (most
recognized software for structural uses in America, Europe, Asia and Australia)
refers to a robust application that can be applied for computing an extensive
range of cross section, along with the formation of design for reinforced
concrete sections (rebar calculator).
The resultant cross sections are simple or
composite and can comprise of one or more geometric entities (rectangles,
polygons, circles, arcs etc.). With the multipurpose featured user interface,
it is possible to draw the geometry of the cross section easily.
The user will be able to import standard steel sections out of a complete shape library in relation to all significant codes (AISC, Australian-New Zealand, BS, Chinese, European, Indian, Aluminum etc.)
The shape, materials or loads of a section are
free from any restriction, because the program can deal with any random cross
section under biaxial bending and axial loads (Mx,My,P). The program has the
ability to work out all sectional properties, plot Moment – Curvature and
Interaction diagrams as well as calculate the location of the neutral axis
under specified sets of biaxial loads and outline the equivalent strain
diagrams along with the consequential stress contours. Based on the position of
the neutral axis plane on the section, these items can also be calculated.
Besides, the program is adhered to the following
codes regarding reinforced concrete sections: AASHTO, UBC, AS 3600, IS 456, ACI
318, BS 8110, CSA A233, EC2, NZS 3101, CP 65.
The user will be able to produce a reinforcement
design on the basis of the codes given above, outline the equivalent
interaction diagrams etc., or examine a specified reinforcement pattern under
the given load cases with some simple mouse clicks.
With Analysis Parameters Sets, the stress –
strain curves of concrete, reinforcement and other materials are indicated
parametrically. Every load case is allotted with an Analysis Parameters Set, so
that estimations can be made for various design situations, like
Ultimate/Serviceability or custom defined Limit States, with an automatic
adjustment of the material properties, safety factors etc. As for example,
while going to select the default ULS Parameters Set, the concrete curve should
have been rectangular and its tensile strength should not be taken into
account. Alternatively, the default SLS Parameters Set, applies a hyperbolic
stress-strain curve for concrete considering its tensile strength. Here, the
safety factors are automatically settled as 1.0. The user has the ability to
directly modify these parameters.
An extensive material library exists along with almost all
concrete/reinforcement material specifications. Besides, concrete and
reinforcement materials, the user can also state custom linear, bilinear,
trilinear parabolic or completely general materials.
The
program supports Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10.
