: STRAP can calculate deflections based on the cracked moment of inertia rather than just the gross cross-section. This is critical because actual deflections in reinforced concrete are often significantly higher once the concrete's tensile strength is exceeded and cracks form.
: The software performs crack width checks according to international standards such as EC2 and BS8007 . atir strap and beamd with crack
Standard linear elastic analysis often underestimates actual deflection. In ATIR STRAP , engineers must account for the reduction in stiffness caused by cracking. : STRAP can calculate deflections based on the
: These manifest as vertical cracks starting from the tension face (typically mid-span in simply supported beams) where the bending moment is maximal. They propagate vertically toward the neutral axis. They propagate vertically toward the neutral axis
is a comprehensive software system used by engineers for the analysis and design of buildings, bridges, and other structures.
for standard environments) to let the finite element solver combine immediate elastic cracked deflections with time-dependent material strain. 3. Detailed Crack Check with BEAMD
