DLUBAL Composite Beam 8.24.02

Introduction to DLUBAL Composite Beam 8.24.02

DLUBAL Composite Beam 8.24.02 is a software based on bidirectional communication between RSTAB and the add-on modules. It allows for the analysis of continuous composite girders according to Eurocode 4. This add-on module can be used with the RSTAB program or as an independent module running on RSTAB standards.

Overview

The software allows for a safe calculation of internal forces using ideal cross-section properties, automatically analyzing the results and carrying out verifications according to EC 4, as well as EC 2 and EC 3 standards. The results are displayed in spreadsheet masks, sorted by required analysis standards, and can be easily interpreted with 3D visualization capabilities.

Features

Single-span and continuous beams with definable boundary conditions
Automatic determination of effective cross-sections
Free arrangement of construction supports for construction stage
Various load types with specification of concrete age on loading
Automatic load combination
Calculation of cross-section properties and internal forces
Redistribution of moments
Design of bending and shear force resistance with interaction
Determination of required shear connectors and their distribution
Analysis for limitation of crack widths
Design of natural frequency

Use Cases

DLUBAL Composite Beam 8.24.02 is ideal for engineers and designers working on composite structures, enabling efficient analysis and verification of composite girders according to Eurocode 4.
