Composite Steel Design

Technical Specifications:

• Designs and checks using both ASD and LRFD design codes.
• Beams can be wide flanges or channels.
• End conditions include pinned supports, fixed supports and cantilevers.
• Beams can be Non-composite, Encased-Unshored, Encased-Shored, Composite-Unshored and Composite-Shored.
• Slabs can be designed with or without a metal deck.
• Both Long-term and Short-term deflections are computed.
• Slab reinforcement over supports can be input to accommodate negative moments due to continuity.

• Cover plates can be added to the bottom flange to increase the section's capacity.
• Load input includes concentrated, uniform, linear and triangular force distributions. End moments can be input to account for continuous spans.
• User-defined load combinations
• Reports are in Microsoft Rich Text Format, which works with Microsoft Word and is recognized by nearly every word processor.
• Printable shear and moment diagrams.
• US customary and metric units
