Concrete Software Programs
Concrete Software Programs
(OP)
Our structural engineering department is looking for a good concrete design program. I am 3 years out of college and have not been introduced into a concrete software program, however I am leading the task for finding one.
Can I get some thoughts on particular programs that would be of benefit for flat slabs (one-way, two-way), drop panel, and even concrete joist slab designs? Currently we own a program called Adoss that is not beneficial for large scale projects. Any information on this topic that could point me in the right direction would be great.
Thanks,
csm

The Portland Cement Association
http://www.cement.org/
has some interesting program:
pca-mats; pca-column; pca-beam; pca-wall; pca-slab; pca-frame
All of them for design or revision of elements.
If you are looking for analysis and design for whole structures one of them may be:

However, I recommend getting together a couple of potential software titles and contact each of the developers. They will give you a short-term license or a limited capacbility package for you to try out. There is no use in spending a lot of money on a long-term license on software that you may find does not meet your needs.
