Video-tutorial of reinforced and prestressed beam design (EN)

Using the Beam app, you can solve the design and code-check of the complete range of concrete beams, from the simplest ones to the most challenging. Its abilities also include composite (concrete-concrete) beams and prestressed beams, both prestressed and post-tensioned.

The tutorial is split into two parts and guides you through what is possible during the design process.

Part 1

The first part of this tutorial is focused on the initial phase of the design process. The presentation is split into these chapters:

• How to start with a new project
• Cross-section definition
• Geometry definition
• Supports
• Construction stages
• Loading

Part 2

The second part of the tutorial focuses on the prestressing tendon design, optimization, working with the results and the calculation report. It's split into these chapters:

• Tendon design
• Concrete code-check
• Results
• Optimization
• Stability check
• Deflections
• Calculation report
