RC Slab / Wall Design

Carry out strength/ULS and SLS checks based on flexural, twisting and in-plane effects, shear, stress limits, minimum and maximum areas of reinforcement and crack widths or spacing considerations for a large range of international Codes of Practice.


Model in-plane effects and calculate reinforcement arrangements for bridge decks with and without in-plane forces, tunnel linings, culverts, retaining walls, leaf piers, integral bridge decks, circular tanks and more.

In detail...

Flexible reinforcing arrangements

Define multiple reinforcement arrangements for top and bottom (or near and far-face) layers for use in different regions of your model.

Flexible Layout Management


Assign your reinforcement attributes directly to the surfaces representing slabs or walls.


  • Single Layout: Quickly apply a consistent reinforcement pattern across an entire surface.
  • Multiple Layouts and Zones: Easily define and manage multiple reinforcement zones for more advanced, localized reinforcement configurations.



Combine with RC Slab/Wall Design attributes to perform comprehensive reinforced concrete design calculations.


Visualise


Visualise reinforcement directions in both the x and y axes for a clearer understanding of layout orientation.


Need to check reinforcement zones? Each defined layout or zone is displayed in a unique colour, complete with a matching contour key, for easy interpretation and review.

Choose your results


Plot contours and values that indicate flexural reinforcement requirements at Ultimate Limit State (ULS).


Calculate design crack widths at Serviceability Limit State (SLS) for those design codes that support this.


Detailed rendered calculations referencing clauses from design codes are available for all checks made for all design codes.


Report, revise, repeat

Create design reports individually or append them to the report for the whole model. 


Mix summary reports for the whole structure with detailed reports for selected regions. 


Create templates to speed reproduction of similar content.

RC design checking of a circular tank wall

Watch as a circular tank is modelled from scratch and loaded with a water pressure load. A design combination is created and the RC slab / wall design facility used to carry out ULS design checks for a section of wall to the UK Eurocode.
