Concise Beam 4.66.00
Concise Beam V4 is an easy to use program for the design of precast concrete beams.
Concise Beam will perform a load analysis and design checks in accordance with the latest edition of ACI 318, CSA A23.3 & S6, AS3600, or NZ3101.1.
Key code parameters can be customized to simulate other design codes.
The beam can be conventionally reinforced, partially or fully pretensioned.
It can model any cross-sectional shape and will allow the cross-section to vary prismatically (step-wise) over the length of the beam.
A graphical editor allows the user to describe any cross-section, including voids.
Concise Beam works in two-dimensions using simple beam theory (ACI B-region) but will also account for torsion along the beam. Concise Beam is NOT able to perform any analysis or design checks required for disturbed regions (ACI D-region) such as at sudden changes in section, large openings, notches, or dapped ends. The user can work in metric or U.S. Customary (Imperial) units, with a variety of individual units (i.e. mm, cm, m), and switch back and forth at will. Libraries of industry standard cross-sections and materials are provided with Concise Beam. The standard libraries can be modified, extended and customized by the user.
Beam Layouts
Single simply-supported beam
Cantilevers at one or both ends
Analyze any user defined cross-section
All standardized loads, load cases, and combinations
Moving Loads, including highway live loads
Load distribution (including PCI hollowcore distribution)
Cast-in-place pour (topping or deck) definition with haunch
Shoring of Cast-in-place pour (point or continuous)
Reinforcement Options
Reinforced precast concrete beams
Full or partially-prestressed (pre-tensioned) precast concrete beams
Deflected, cut, and debonded tendons
Strand transfer and development options available
Advanced Engineering Capability
Uses detailed methods whenever appropriate
Strain-compatibility section analysis accounting for slippage and rupture
Lateral stability check of tall girders during lifting and transport
Shear check of hollowcore with filled cores
Strand and rebar slippage and over-strain check
Cracked section analysis
Transfer, lifting, and final stress analysis
Shored construction options
Torsion analysis
Interface shear design check
Deflection, camber, bearing movement estimates
Maximum crack width estimate
PCI Vibration Analysis for Walking and Rhythmic Activity
Follows recognized methods as used in the PCI Design Handbook, CPCI Metric Design Manual, and the NPCAA Precast Concrete Handbook.
Concise Beam is NOT able to perform any analysis or design checks required for disturbed regions (ACI D-region) such as at sudden changes in section, large openings, notches, or dapped ends.
Whats New
Corrected the length of the transfer length and interface shear force for horizontal shear at negative moments when using the Moment Region method.
Added new analysis reports for flexure, shear, and torsion which include the analysis results for each individual ULS load combination. These reports are for use on-screen only, they are not formatted for printing.
