Uniaxial and Biaxial Reinforced Concrete Design (B2)
Uniaxial and Biaxial Reinforced Concrete Design
The B2 application allows you to perform cross section analyses for bending with longitudinal force as well as shear force. Additionally, you can produce crack width evidence (loading), perform stress analysis or calculate effective rigidity and run an analysis of shear joints.
The use of reduced material factors for precast components is foreseen. These material peculiarities can also be considered in the accidental and earthquake design situations.
The following standards are supported:
- EN 1992-1-1:2004
- NEN EN 1992-1-1/ NA:2007
- NBN EN 1992-1-1/ NA:2010
- CSN EN 1992-1-1/NA:2007
The entered exposure classes allow you to calculate the durability requirements (minimum concrete class, concrete cover and requirement class for crack width evidence) in dialogues.
You can optionally consider tension rigidity and the effects of creep and shrinkage in the calculation of effective rigidity.
When performing a bending design calculation, you can optionally include the concrete area displaced in the compression zone of the steel, which is of particular importance where high-strength concretes are concerned.
The calculation can include several combinations of action-effects that you input via a table.
You can prepare N/M design diagrams for the uniaxial symmetric design of circular and rectangular cross sections.
