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.
T Beam
Calculate reinforcement for concrete flange T beams, including bending moment, shear, and torsion. Visualize beam sections, strain distribution, crack width, and deflection. Generate PDF reports for your designs.
- Reinforcement calculation
- Beam section visualization
- Strain distribution diagram
- Crack width calculation
- Deflection calculation
- PDF report generation
