Concrete Beam Design is Concrete Design Software that designs one-way flexural members, including beams, one-way slabs and joists. This concrete design software goes beyond typical concrete beam design programs and includes beam dimensions, bar sizes, quantities, development lengths, cut off locations, stirrup spacing, deflection checks, capacity diagrams and more.

Digital Canal's Concrete Beam Design, unlike most competing programs, was written to design reinforced concrete beams completely and accurately. So while competing programs simply give an area of steel or maybe a single stirrup spacing, Concrete Beam Design checks all the ACI provisions for strength serviceability and constructability. Simply put, Digital Canal's Concrete Beam Design designs the way you do.

Concrete Beam Design was written with simplicity and compatibility in mind. Inputs are concisely organized using a minimum of dialog boxes. Like other Digital Canal products, reports are created in Rich Text Format (RTF) and automatically displayed in Microsoft Word Viewer or any user selected word processor.

Key program features include:
  • Designs concrete one-way flexural members (beams, one-way slabs and joists) with rectangular, Tee and ledger (inverted Tee) sections. Spans can be haunched at the supports and include cantilevers.
  • Calculations are performed in accordance to the latest version of the ACI code (ACI 318-2002), including strain dependent strength reduction factors (phi).Strength reduction factors (phi).
  • The solution process is interactive-allowing the user to control critical design decisions such as section dimensions and bar sizes as they are computed by the program.
  • Longitudinal reinforcement design includes the number, size and orientation of the bars for positive and negative moment regions. Cutoffs locations for top and bottom bars are determined for both sides of the beam.
  • Stirrup spacing is computed to ensure adequate strength for each section of the beam while keeping the number of stirrups to a minimum, maintaining adequate cover and minimizing spacing changes. Spacing is rounded to the nearest inch for constructability.
  • Secondary considerations such as crack control, minimum reinforcement, development length, deflection (including time effects), tension zone cuts and compression steel are accounted for.
  • Loads include end moments, concentrated, uniform, linear and triangular load distributions. The standard load combination list includes the ACI combinations and is customizable.
  • Graphic output include shear and moment capacity diagrams-invaluable for design verification. Graphic output can be viewed on the screen, printed and saved to a DXF file.
  • Digital Canal's Concrete Beam Design can be bought separately-you don't need to buy a "structural system" or "engineering library" to design a concrete beam. Digital Canal's Concrete Beam Design program provides all the functionality you'll need at just a fraction of the cost of other 'stand alone' programs..
  • Reports are in Microsoft Word format (RTF) giving you unequalled compatibility with other software.
  • Flexible unit controls allow for US or metric designs.
  • User defined "default data" lets you reduce the design of a beam to simply inputting the span lengths and loads.
  • Graphic "backgrounds" illustrate program inputs.
  • Simple file format-only one file per project, which can be opened and saved in typical Windows fashion.
