DLUBAL Composite Beam

DLUBAL Composite Beam


COMPOSITE-BEAM is based on the bidirectional communication between RSTAB and its add-on modules. However, to use COMPOSITE-BEAM, no RSTAB license is required (stand-alone operation is possible).

COMPOSITE-BEAM allows for the design of continuous composite beams according to:
- ENV 1994-1-1:1992-10 (EC 4 is in preparation).


Features
- Single-span and continuous beams with definable boundary conditions
- Automatic determination of effective cross-sections
- Free arrangement of construction supports for construction stage
- Free definition of concentrated, linear and linearly variable loads as fixed and variable loads with specification of concrete age on loading
- Freely definable construction loads as well as moving construction loads
- Automatic load combination
- Calculation of cross-section properties according to method 1 or 2
- Calculation of elastic internal forces with RSTAB
- Redistribution of moments
- Design for bending and shear force resistance with interaction
- Determination of required shear connectors and their distribution
- Design of longitudinal shear force resistance
- Output of governing support reactions for construction and composite stage including loads of construction supports
- Lateral-torsional buckling analysis
- Analysis for limitation of crack widths
