Benefits to RTcompositesteelbox
The programme component RTcompositesteelbox fem supports the calculation and design of spatial box girder systems of structural steel, composite steel-concrete or reinforced concrete bridges and in particular provides the following advantages:
Graphic-oriented surface during design with interactive cross section optimisation
The calculation / design of the composite girders is performed according to the overall cross section method
Simple acquisition of the system, cross section and load histories
Consideration of forces of cracking in the concrete chord
Automatic evaluation of secondary effects resulting from creep and shrinkage
Powerful and economic design according to DIN technical report 104 with a clear result graphic and specific detail information
Document output in RTprint / RTF format in compliance with the user’s requirements
