New National Annexes are available in the provided reinforcement concrete modules: columns, beams, foundations, continuous footings and plates. These standards are also available in the required reinforcement concrete modules: bars and plates.

See RC Code - Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1:2004) and National Annexes

New edition of the ACI 318 code

The new standard of ACI 318-11 code was added to the program.

New ACI 318-11 code is available in provided reinforcement concrete modules: columns, beams, foundations, continuous footings and plates. This standard is also available in required reinforcement concrete modules: bars and plates.

Multi-selection support

• Story parameters can now be saved under a given name and then assigned to the selection of elements.

  See Story Parameters dialog (EN 1992-1-1:2004 AC:2008 code)

• R/C spread/continuous footings - soil parameters and geotechnical options can now be assigned to several foundations at the same time.

  See Geotechnical Options dialog (Foundations / Continuous Footings)

Extensions of the reinforcement options

• Detailed reinforcement pattern such bar numbers, spacing, stirrups and dowel bar diameters can be defined for columns.

  See Reinforcement Pattern dialog (RC column)

• It is possible to design continuous footing under walls based on the selection of nodes.

  See Link with the RC Element Design Modules

• The presentation of declared reinforcement in zones has been improved for the provided reinforcement of slabs.
