BETONexpress 2008.5

With BETONexpress you can easily design various concrete components. For each of them, you just specify the basic dimensions, loads and material properties, and you obtain the detailed concrete design. The dimensioning is according to Eurocode 2, EN 1992-1-1:2004, Design of concrete structures, General rules and rules for buildings, with supplement of Eurocode 7, EN 1997-1:2004, Geotechnical design – General rules, for geotechnical analysis (footings, retaining walls), Eurocode 0, EN 1990:2002, for load combinations, and Eurocode 8 for seismic loading. The last EN versions of the Eurocodes are implemented.
The program's CAD modulus automatic generates detailed drawings of the structure and the reinforcement.
A combined detailed report and reinforcing steel schedule is produced for the designed concrete components. Assumptions and references to design codes are shown in the report. The design code parameters, as well as default values, can be adjusted by the user. The reinforcing steel schedule can be edited with a specialised editor which is included. In addition a set of engineering tools (unit conversion, computation of areas, moments of inertia, standard steel sections etc.) are included in the program.
