  • Composite Beam Properties - Calculates elastic and plastic section properties for composite beams, with provision for asymmetric top and bottom flanges and a second plated bottom flange. Based on BS 5950 Part 3.1. Web-based program written in PHP. Enables to temporarily store input data in a MySQL database for several weeks.
  • GT Strudl - Structural Design & Analysis software programs for Architectural - Engineering - Construction (AEC), CAE/CAD, utilities, offshore, industrial, nuclear and civil works facilities. GT STRUDL integrates modeling, analysis, and design into a powerful information processing system. GT STRUDL key features include Linear and Nonlinear Static and Dynamic Analysis, Plastic Hinges, Pushover Analysis, and Buckling Analysis. A wide range of 2D and 3D elements are available including Cable and Base Isolation elements. US and International Steel and Concrete Design Codes. CAD interfaces are available including the ability to import and export CIS/2 files.
  • LUSAS Composite - Composite engineering analysis software with advanced shell and solid composite elements for all types of composite engineering. LUSAS Composite allows easy definition and visualisation of layups, and accurate delamination and failure modelling using a variety of industry standard failure criteria.
  • MasterBeam Composite Beam Design - Design of composite beams with or without web openings.
  • Plate I-Girder Section - Calculates noncomposite and composite (for modular ratios n and 3n) section properties for steel I-girders with concrete deck. Calculates cumulative stresses at critical locations for loads applied to noncomposite and composite sections. Detailed calculations for determination of flexural and shear capacity according to AASHTO LRFD, 3rd Edition, 2004. Calculates plastic and yield moments. English units.
  • VABS - Variational Asymptotical Beam Sectional Analysis (VABS) is a unique tool capable of realistic modeling of initially curved and twisted anisotropic beams with arbitrary sectional topology and materials. Relative to 3D analyses, two to three orders of magnitude in computing time can be saved using VABS, with little loss of accuracy. The advantages of VABS over other technologies have been clearly demonstrated by virtue of its generality, accuracy, and efficiency.
