BEAMD will analyze and design just about any section of a single-span
or continuous beam subject to a wide range of loading
conditions. Standard combination load cases are generated
automatically to meet code requirements. The resultant BM
envelope may be automatically adjusted for redistribution within
specified limits.
In addition to the standard beams, the program can handle
special cases too, such as:
- Tapered, stpped or haunched
beams.
- Beams with elastic supports.
- Settlement of supports.
- Torsion (eccentric
loads).
- Seismic and wind loads
The program automatically designs the links (stirrups) with
variable spacing allowing for shear reduction at the
supports.
The program calculates the immediate and the long term
deflections accounting for a cracked section, based on the
reinforcement area in the beam.
