The program has been developed for verification of reinforced concrete cross-sections of any shape under action of combinations of forces and bending moments. The analysis is performed according to EN 1992-1-1 and EN 1992-2 (Eurocode 2). This product is based on former programs Concrete 3D, Concrete 2D and Concrete Plain. The installation contains also program Section.
Main features
National annexes for Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Bulgaria
Option for input of arbitrary values of partial safety factors
Modes for verification of planar and biaxial bending and for plain concrete elements
Database of cross-sections including import of general geometry from program Section
Import of loads from *.csv or *.txt file
Check of indicative strength class, minimum cover and structural rules according to the member type
Verification of ultimate and serviceability (stress and crack control)
3D interaction diagram for easy results display
Detailed text and brief graphical reports
The program works as a standalone application or as a designing module in programs FIN 3D and FIN 2D. In this mode, the structure is created in FIN programs, that calculate deformations and internal forces. These results are transferred into the program Concrete. This program performs the verification according to the given standard. Results and updated cross-sections are transferred back into FIN programs. Such mutual communication leads to efficient optimization of structure design.
