Cross Section Analysis & Design software facilitates calculation tasks for cross sections of any material and design of reinforcement, adhering to globally recognized building codes and standards such as AASHTO, UBC, ACI 318, and more.
Furthermore, the software provides the user with the capability to import standard steel sections from a complete shape library according to all major codes (AISC, Australian-New Zealand, BS, Chinese, European, Indian, Aluminum, etc.). Cross Section Analysis And Design can calculate all sectional properties, plot Moment Curvature and Interaction diagrams, estimate the location of neutral axis under given sets of biaxial loads and plot the corresponding stress strain diagrams, as well as the resulting stress contours.
The software also fully complies with all major codes concerning reinforced concrete sections (AASHTO, UBC, AS 3600, IS 456, ACI 318, BS 8110, CSA A233, EC2, NZS 3101, and CP 65). The user can also perform a reinforcement design according to the listed codes, plot the matching interaction diagrams, etc. The program also can check a given reinforcement amount for the specified load cases, ensuring that the reinforced concrete section meets all design criteria.
The stress strain curve of concrete, reinforcement, and other materials can be specified according to the defined Analysis Parameters Sets. Thus calculations can be performed for many design situations, such as Ultimate/Serviceability, or custom-defined Limit States, with an automatic adjustment of the material properties, safety factors, etc. In addition, a large material library is also available according to almost all concrete/reinforcement material specifications.
Apart from concrete and reinforcement materials, the user can specify custom linear, bilinear, trilinear parabolic, or fully general materials. All these features and functions make Cross Section Analysis And Design an excellent software for any engineering project.
