Libraries of industry standard cross-sections and materials are provided with Concise Beam. mm, cm, m), and switch back and forth at will. Customary (Imperial) units, with a variety of individual units (i. A graphical editor allows the user to describe any cross-section, including voids.Ĭoncise Beam currently works in two-dimensions but will also account for torsion along the beam. It can model any cross-sectional shape and will allow the cross-section to vary prismatically (step-wise) over the length of the beam. The beam can be conventionally reinforced, partially or fully pretensioned. Key code parameters can be customized to simulate other design codes. Concise Beam will perform a load analysis and design checks in accordance with the latest edition of ACI 318, CSA A23. Concise Beam is an easy to use program for the design of precast concrete beams.
