How to use the FRC Cross Section Tool
Set Up Your Project
Configure your project by selecting the appropriate design standard, choose the concrete materials to compare, then define safety factors to suit your requirements. According to the level of accuracy required, choose the appropriate material response model. You can select the tension model type in order to analyse pre or post cracking material response behaviour.
Define the Geometry
Define your section geometry, reinforcement strategy, and dimensions. Create rectangular, circular, I-shaped, or even import from a DXF file. Composite section can also be created by the combination of several primary geometries.
Choose Your Materials
Assign materials to each geometry, add steel reinforcement, and check the configuration with its FEM mesh in the preview window.
Include Conventional Reinforcement
Where necessary include conventional reinforcement and visualise distribution in a clear professional diagram. Specify the number of layers and the area of reinforcement in each layer. Assign materials to each geometry, add Check the configuration with its FEM mesh in the preview window. Additionally you can customise the mechanical properties of the steel.
Get Your Results
Run the FEM analysis and then you can generate detailed results including M-N interaction domains, moment curvature outputs, bending and shear capacities, and advanced FEM analysis to support better structural decisions
