Concrete beam programs

Concrete beam programs

Concrete beam programs

(OP)
My current concrete beam/ concrete structures program is slowly becoming obsolete. Has anyone found one worth looking into?

RE: Concrete beam programs

Staad Pro have been proven to be a really good analysis and design software for various structures. I think it's a good investment for a structural designer.

RE: Concrete beam programs

Have you looked at the discussions in Structural Engineers Forum recently on Structural Design Software ?

RE: Concrete beam programs

RiBeneke:

Actually I have, but as long as one doesn't rely entirely on the software for his/her designs. He/she should be responsible enough to review the output of any programs. After all, what program is bug-free?

But all in all, I still think that staad is a good program to invest on since it can be used to analze and design a wide range of structures. But of course, it is too much if his only concern is to design concrete beams.


RE: Concrete beam programs

Hi, All,

Can anyone tell me where I can find the disscussion about Structural Design Software? Thanks,

Kevin

RE: Concrete beam programs

Kevin:
Sorry for the long response time. "Modern Steel Construction" has a review of structural software every year. I can't remember which month it comes out but you might visit AISC's website (www.aisc.com) to see if they have online archives.
