RC allows users to design and check Reinforced Concrete columns and beams.
You can buy or try PPC version by clicking on the buttons bellow.
Two kinds of analysis can be made with RC: ultimate resistance state and serviceability
state analysis.
In ultimate state analysis RC provides:
·
Complete
interaction surface (resistance's surface) calculated from
full integration over the reinforced concrete section. Interaction surface
can be viewed on N-M and Mx-MY diagram.
·
Checks of design efforts under the previous interaction
surface. Checks can be made by visual comparison of design efforts over N-M diagram,
by checking the ratio Efforts/Resistance provided by RC or by checking the minimum reinforced area that satisfies design values.
Note: Efforts/Resistance coefficient is considered
to be the inverse of the Safety Factor given by Design Resistance/Design Efforts
·
The ultimate
analyses provided by RC are made considering biaxial
bending with or without axial force and that all second order effects are already
included in design efforts.
In serviceability state analysis RC
provides:
·
Service stresses in concrete and steel bars under cracked
state subjected to user defined service efforts. Stresses can be useful to many
serviceability design checks including crack width control.
A demo version is provided.
