The programs in this section provides mostly analysis capabilities. Design in a particular material is not provided.

 

Single Span Beam Analysis

Single Span Beam Analysis analyzes single span beams with cantilevers and a variety of end restraints. Up to 30 point, moment, and uniform/trapezoidal loads can be applied. Reactions, shears, moments, deflections, and graphic diagrams are given.

 

Beam on Elastic Foundation

Beam on Elastic Foundation provides all of Hetenyi's and Roark's work in one fast program. A beam may have any combination of free, guided, pinned, fixed, and semi-infinite supports. Up to 23 point, moment, and uniform/trapezoidal loads may be applied. Shear, moment, deflection, rotations and graphic diagrams given.

 

Torsional Analysis of Rigid Diaphragms

Torsional Analysis of Rigid Diaphragms can calculate the center of rigidity, torsional moments, minimum eccentricities, and give resultant force to attached walls oriented at any angle. A stiffness approach is used to generate matrices which are solved for forces. End fixity combination and elastic modulus can be varied for each wall and all cases of eccentricity are considered.

 

General Section Properties

General Section Properties can determine area, neutral axes, inertia, fiber distances, section modulus, and radii of gyration for sections combining up to 11 bar/pipe shapes and 3 rolled steel sections.

 

Pole Footing Design

Pole Footing Design determines required embedment depths for shaft type footings with shear and moment applied at ground surface, with or without lateral surface restraint.

 

Pile Group Load Distribution

Pile Group Load Distribution distributes a single vertical load to a maximum of ten piles using direct distribution and skew bending theory.

 

Multi-Story Seismic Force Distribution

Multi-Story Seismic Force Distribution gives story shears and moments on a multi-story structure by vertically distributing base shear on the structure using '94 UBC code.

 

Multi-Story Wind Force Distribution

Multi-Story Wind Force Distribution gives story shears and moments on a multi-story structure by vertically distributing '88 UBC wind loads and modification factors.

 

Multi-Story Column Load Summary

Multi-Story Column Load Summary provides a tabular format for accumulating area loads on multi-story columns. Loads may be varied per floor and reduction factors considered.
