Structure Geometry
- Up to 20 spans and two cantilevers
- Slab thickness may vary from span to span
- Transverse design strip width (left and right) may vary from
span to span
- Round or rectangular columns above and below the slab
- Column height may vary
- User-controlled column-fixity
- Standard or user-input drop
panels
- Column capitals
- Longitudinal beams
- Transverse beams
- Rib width, depth, and
clear spacing
Loads
- Self weight automatically
computed
- Uniform dead and live surface
(force per unit area) loads
- Partial loads may be uniform (line), trapezoidal, concentrated, or moments
- Lateral loads effect may
be input as joint moments
- Pattern loading—live load
percentage may be modified
- Up to six basic load cases
- Up to twelve load combinations
Analysis and Design
- Equivalent Frame Method for two way systems
- Flexural Shear, Torsion, and integrity calculation
- Instantaneous and long-term deflection
Output
- Graphical display of input parameters
- Graphical display of flexure, shear, Torsion Force, and capacity envelopes
- Details of required reinforcing steel
- Customizable results report
Views
- Fast & flexible graphical interface
