S-CONCRETE™  (Concrete Section Design)

S-CONCRETE™ is stand-alone and integrated with S-FRAME^® which includes:

· Reinforced concrete section design and detailing.

· Import loads from S-FRAME^® including wall integration line results.

· Interactive and automated design in accordance with various building standards.

· Support for ACI 318-08, 05, 02, & 99, CSA-A23.3-04 & 94, BS 8110:1997 & 1985, UBC 1997, CP65:1999.

· Visual editor (click/drag to make changes).

· International range of reinforcing bars.

· Axial load, flexure, shear and torsion design.

· Axial load and moment interaction diagrams.

· True biaxial bending where the resultant moment is applied at any angle.

· Slenderness effects calculations (if applicable).

· CSA shear & torsion (simple or general method).

· Generate reports with pictures & numerical results.

· Export detailed drawings to AutoCAD^®.

· Export drawings and numerical results to Microsoft Word^® and TEDDS^®.

· Support for fiber-reinforced concrete beam sections (ACI 318-08 only) which has implications on minimum shear reinforcement requirements.  New!

· Generate moment-curvature diagrams for any shape and add reinforcing bars and/or prestressing strands (optional).  New!

· Moment-curvature relationships can be used for more accurate deflection estimation and realistic flexural capacity evaluation.  New!

 

Beam Section Design and Detailing:

· T-beams, L-beams, slab bands, and rectangular beams.

· Bar spacing and stirrup/tie spacing checks.

· Crack control and steel area checks.

· Beams with any number of stirrup legs.

· Multiple bar layers.

· Different bar sizes per layer.

· Face steel checks (if applicable).

 

Column Section Design and Detailing:

· Rectangular and circular columns.

· Columns with holes.

· Composite columns.

· Rectangular or circular ties or spiral.

· Multiple bar layers.

· Bar spacing and steel area checks.

 

Shear Wall Section Design and Detailing:

· Seismic design and detailing.

· Complex zones of reinforcing.

· Sectional and panel loading.

· Zone reinforcing checks.

· Panel reinforcing checks.

· Bar spacing checks.

· Anchorage checks.

· Interface shear or sliding shear check (CSA Only).

 

Earthquake resistant design of shear walls (ACI and UBC):

· Boundary element size and detailing evaluation.

· Concrete confinement (zone ties and configuration).

· Curtains of reinforcing, steel area and steel ratios.

· Anchorage conditions (i.e. hooks).

· Bar spacing requirements.

 

Seismic Provisions for shear walls CSA-A23.3 (Rd=1.0, 1.5, 2.0 or 3.5):

· Ductility/stability requirements.  

· Curtains of reinforcing, steel area and steel ratios.

· Anchorage and development length including hooks.

· Simplified or general method of shear design.

· Concrete confinement (zone ties & configuration).

· Bar spacing requirements.

· Squat walls as defined in Clause 21.7.4 of CSA-A23.3-04.
