## What is A?

The A-Beam+ is the extension of the previous A-Beam app that make the design of the RC beam easy and as simple as using the normal calculator. But behind the simplicity the app also provide the very details of the calculation in every step to make you confident with the calculation result. The initial version support for the "ACI 318" Building Code both US & Metric (SI-Metric and MKS-Metric) units with more other design codes will be added.

## Key features

- Simplified RC beam design
- Detailed calculation steps
- ACI 318 Building Code support

### 1/5 — Doubly reinforced concrete

*2016-04-18*

This version needs to be updated. It has the least option to be used. Besides. When you make a change is your drafts. It does not upload your changes.

### 2/5 — Fix some to be good

*2015-04-15*

- it's crashed sometimes 
- there is no double beam reinforcement calculation, there is only single beam reinforcement calculation.

### 5/5 — Looking forward to CSA-A23 code support

*2012-11-19*

This is great for checking my work but in Canada I can't use this for design.

### 5/5 — Best Engineering app writer

*2012-01-19*

This person writes amazing functional and concise engineering apps. I use A-beam and A-beam+ and am continuously amazed. The PDF output is better than Robot. Well done!
