Composite Design

BEAM

Design of composite beam and slab sections for sagging and hogging moments

Design

Design composite beam and slab sections for hogging and sagging moments. Choose from a variety of configurations, including ribbed and corrugated profiles. Both partial and full shear connections are allowed.

What makes this module unique?

  • Design a section for both sagging and hogging moments
  • Various deck layouts are supported
  • Interactive design checks indicate which failure mode governs
  • International design standards supported
    Detailed calculations

CONTINUOUS BEAM

Analysis and design of continuous composite beams and slabs

Analysis | Design | Detailing

The composite continuous beam design program allows you to design multi-span composite beams. Composite construction methods are becoming more popular globally due to the rapid construction potential and efficient use of materials. The program forms part of the PROKON structural analysis and design suite together with the three other composite design modules.

What makes this module unique?

  • Design of a section for both sagging and hogging
  • Various deck layouts
  • Multi-span composite beams
  • Different construction methods
  • Point loads & moments as well as distributed loads
  • Automatic load and combination generator
  • International design standards supported
  • Output includes elastic & long-term deflections, shear forces and bending moments
  • Detailed equations

FILLED COLUMN

Design concrete filled hollow steel profiles with reinforcing

Design

Design columns made of hollow steel sections filled with concrete. View interactive design diagrams to evaluate different combinations of applied load.

What makes this module unique?

  • Section resistance calculation, including second-order effects and material non-linearity
  • Composite column design, including steel section, concrete, and rebar
  • Interaction charts for both design axes
  • International design standards included
  • Detailed equations

ENCASED COLUMN

Design of steel profiles encased in concrete with reinforcing

Design

Design concrete encased steel columns typically used in retrofit construction. View interactive design diagrams to evaluate different combinations of applied load.

What makes this module unique?

  • Section resistance calculation, including second-order effects and material non-linearity
  • Composite column design, including steel section, concrete, and rebar
  • Interaction charts for both design axes
  • International design standards included
  • Detailed equations
