General Data

This is the first window to fill for a new project. These are the principal input data:

• Typology of the section: -Predefined sections: rectangular, T, rectangular with flanges. Bending and shear forces are only uniaxial. Checks or design of reinforcement.

-General sectionsi: are formed by one or more concrete regions polygonal or circular shaped with reinforcement however arranged. The bending moment and shear forces can be selected as uniaxial or biaxial. In general it is expected to only checks calculation. For polygonal sections formed by a single concrete region can also be performed the design of longitudinal bars.

-Rectangular section of colums: the arrangement of the reinforcement is always doubly symmetrical. The calculation is always biaxial in bending and  shear. Check or design of reinforcement.

-Rectangular section of walls: the arrangement of the reinforcement is always doubly symmetrical. Program performs only checks calculation in biaxial bending and uniaxial shear.

-Polygonal section torsion: simple torsion check for polygonal sections (hollow or not).

-SLS deflections in simple beam: the beam can be isolated or belongs to a frame.

-Design stirrups in seismic joint (DCH): You may do this calculation only after the check of the section of the predefined beam that touch the joint. In the results window you find the option 'Joint beam-column'
