| What is the difference between spSlab and pcaSlab? |
| pcaSlab, also formerly known as ADOSS, was renamed spSlab to better relate and support the registered trade name of the publisher, StructurePoint, formerly the PCA's Engineering Software Group. |
| Does this program calculate long-term deflections? |
| Yes, in version 2.00 or higher. |
| What is the difference between spSlab and spBeam? |
| spSlab has integrated all of the functions of spBeam although spBeam is still a standalone software. Users who do only one-way slab/continuous beam design may choose spBeam. spSlab can design both one-way slab/continuous beam and two-way slab systems. |
| I already have spSlab. Do I need spBeam? |
| No. spSlab has integrated all of the functions of spBeam although spBeam is still a standalone software. Users who do only one-way slab/continuous beam design may choose spBeam. spSlab can design both one-way slab/continuous beam and two-way slab systems. |
| Do I have to have two cantilevers in this program? |
| No. Cantilevers are optional. |
| Does this program take into account crack control requirements for maximum bar spacing? |
| Yes for one-way slab and continuous beam systems. |
| Does spSlab design corner reinforcement for two-way slabs? |
| Yes. |
| Does this program support moment redistribution? |
| Yes for one-way slab and continuous beam systems. |
| Can I open spBeam and ADOSS data files in spSlab? |
| Yes. |
| Does this program consider torsion? |
| Yes. |
| What method does this program use? |
| Equivalent Frame Method. |
| Can I use this program to investigate and design waffle slabs? |
| Yes. |
| Can I use this program to investigate and design a continuous beam? |
| Yes. |
| Which design codes does this program support? |
| For information on supported codes please visit spSlab features. |
