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
