RTtool is a versatile structural engineering collection of different design tools, that provides the following advantages:

• Object-oriented, context-dependent working environment with overview at a glance
• Graphic representation with sensitive elements and dimension chains as well as direct indication of all changes
• Efficient calculation and design functions
• Cross section design for GRP reinforcement
• Use of templates and extensive online support
