Technical Specifications

 

 Beam Design

  • Designs beams for strong-axis bending, shear, deflections and dimensional constraints.
  • Beam Design offers the following AISC codes: 14th Edition ASD, 14th Edition LRFD, 13th Edition ASD, 13th Edition LRFD, 9th Edition ASD and 1st Edition LRFD.
  • AISC 14th Edition section database.
  • Improved beam optimization engine no longer requires Width inputs to optimize tubes and angles.
  • Separate bracing can be input for bottom and top flanges of beams.
  • Live load patterning for both LRFD and ASD designs.
  • Automatic load combinations using ASCE 7-05.
  • Seismic load cases.
  • Loads include up to 40 concentrated and linear loads about the member’s strong axis.
  • Beams can have up to 18 spans with pinned, fixed or free (cantilever) ends.
  • Reports are created in Microsoft Rich Text Format, which is native to Microsoft Word and recognized by nearly all word processors.
  • Printable shear, moment and deflection diagrams.
  • Input and output are in US customary units.

Beam Column Design

  • Beam-Columns are designed for axial forces, bi-axial bending, shear, deflections and dimensional constraints.
  • The Beam-Column Design offers the following AISC codes: 14th Edition ASD, 14th Edition LRFD, 13th Edition ASD, 13th Edition LRFD, 9th Edition ASD and 2nd Edition LRFD.
  • AISC 14th Edition section database.
  • Improved beam optimization engine no longer requires Width inputs to optimize tubes and angles.
  • Standard load combinations using ASCE 7-05.
  • Seismic load case.
  • Steel Beam/Column’s procedure reports include a step by step listing of the computations used to check or design the member. The report lists what AISC equation was used, displays the equation and reports the calculated value for each step. The detail of the report is unmatched, by even textbooks, making it a great tool for engineers learning the new 13th Edition code.
  • Loads include up to 48 transverse concentrated forces (transverse and axial), linear loads and end moments applied about either bending axis.
  • Reports are created in Microsoft Rich Text Format, which is native to Microsoft Word and recognized by nearly all word processors.
  • Printable shear, moment and deflection diagrams.
  • Input and output are in US customary units.
