Two-Way Slab Designer

Calculation

This software performs structural design of rectangular slab panels that are essentially two-way spanning between a system of supporting beams or walls:

• Calculations are based on Johansen’s Yield Line theory published by the Cement and Concrete Association in 1962 and BS EN 1992-1-1: 2004;
• The serviceability deflection check is carried out using the span/effective depth limits given in EN 1992-1-1 and the UK NA.

Output

• 2D view of the two-way slab in a planar view showing the dimensions, loadings and, where applicable, reinforcement arrangements
• Customisable output with 3 levels of output details
• Numerical and/or formulae output for easy checking and presentation
• Easy sharing option by printing, exporting to file in MS Word or PDF format

Punching Sheer Designer

CADS Punching Shear Designer is a software application which performs rapid punching shear calculations for reinforced concrete flat slab structures. In this version the calculations are generally in accordance with BS EN 1992:1-1:2004+A1:2014 (Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures – Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings). This code is referred to as EC2 in the following.

The current version of the program may be used for reinforced concrete flat slabs supported on columns of rectangular, circular, elliptical, L, T or cruciform section. Once you have input the geometric and structural information, the program calculates the maximum shear stress at the control perimeters and checks against the allowable values and if required proceeds to calculate and arrange shear reinforcement in the form of shear studs.

The software produces output reports in the form of a brief summary or a more detailed report, which may be displayed on screen, printed or exported to MS Word or PDF to suit your requirements.
