Engissol Cross Section Analysis And Design

Overview of Engissol Cross Section Analysis And Design (Analysis and Design of structural cross sections)

Engissol Cross Section Analysis And Design is a powerful application that can perform many cross section calculations, including the design of reinforced concrete sections (rebar calculator). The sections provided can be simple or complex and can consist of one or more geometric entities (rectangles, polygons, circles, arcs, etc.). The shape of the cross-section can be simply drawn using the characteristically flexible user interface. Users can also import standard steel sections from a complete library of shapes in all major codes (AISC, Australia-New Zealand, BS, China, Europe, India, Aluminum, etc.)

Furthermore, the program is fully compliant with the following codes relating to reinforced concrete sections: AASHTO, UBC, AS 3600, IS 456, ACI 318, BS 8110, CSA A233, EC2, NZS 3101, CP 65. Only With a few clicks, users can perform reinforcement design according to the codes listed above, draw appropriate interactive diagrams, etc. or test certain reinforcement pattern under specified load cases.

Features of Engissol Cross Section Analysis And Design

• Calculate section properties (related to user-defined base material or section geometric properties) including inertial data, elastic and elastoplastic modulus, etc. In more detail, the program can calculate the center axis position, moment of inertia, radius of gyration, section modulus and moment of inertia of the product for any shape. Shapes can be constructed using general shapes (polygons, circles, arcs, etc.) as well as standard shapes (wide flanges, angles, channels, tubes, etc.). Sectional properties are also calculated for reinforced concrete and composite members. Many equivalent pieces of material are also easily processed.
• Calculate and plot Moment versus curvature for bending around a predetermined axis. Accordingly, an Axial Force and Strain diagram can be created.
• Calculate the equivalent bilinear Torque and Curvature plot with or without stiffness and estimate the final performance/curvature and torque.
• Estimate the neutral axis, strain distribution, and plot the stress contour under given sets of biaxial loads. Report the reinforcement force and maximum/minimum stress location for each material of the section.
• Estimate biaxial forces under a given neutral axis (position, direction, and curvature). As in the previous case, the strain distribution and stress contours are plotted. Furthermore, the reinforcing forces are reported and the maximum/minimum stress locations for each material in the section are calculated.
• Advanced interactive diagram analysis. The failure surface is calculated and plotted according to: Moment versus axial force or Moment versus moment. The user can specify different values ​​for the reinforcement ratio (if reinforcement has been provided) or the axial force value so that multiple curves can be drawn in one plot. This type of analysis is generic and can be used to extract the interaction diagram and cross-sectional capacity of any general cross-section with any material, shape, etc.
• Interactive diagram according to the specified Reinforced Concrete Code. The program calculates the interaction diagram as explained previously, but applies all relevant regulatory checks, stress distribution, safety factors, etc., according to the selected code (AASHTO, UBC, AS 3600, IS 456, ACI 318, BS 8110, CSA A233, EC2, NZS 3101 and CP 65 ).
• Reinforcement design. The provided reinforcement is designed in such a way that the required reinforcement diameter is selected. This procedure takes place according to the regulations provided ( AASHTO, UBC, AS 3600, IS 456, ACI 318, BS 8110, CSA A233, EC2, NZS 3101 and CP 65 ).
• Enhanced testing. The given reinforcement sample is tested and the cross-sectional capacity ratio is reported. The rebar design and inspection features also make this app a unique rebar calculator.
