Page 2 of 8 Continuous Beam/Slab Design Design and detailing of
reinforced concrete beams and slabs. Cross-sections can include
a combination of rectangular, I, T and L-sections, and spans can
have constant or tapered sections. You can design a single span
(simply supported, fixed or cantilever) or many continuous
spans. Spans can be supported on with or without rotational
restraints, e.g. columns below and/or above. The design
calculations incorporates automated pattern loading (of dead and
live loads). At ultimate limit state, moments and shears can be
redistributed to a user specified percentage. Both short-term
(elastic) and long-term deflections are calculated. The long-
term deflection calculations take account of concrete cracking,
shrinkage and creep. For beams and one-way spanning slabs, you
can manipulate long-term deflections by editing the steel
reinforcement. Frame Analysis also provides a convenient way for
generating input for this program. When you model a building
structure, you can use the de
