SCIA Concrete Section Fact Sheet

SCIA Concrete Section EN 1992-1-1

License code: 10200

SCIA Concrete Section is a stand- alone application for the verification of
reinforced concrete cross- sections, developed within the Design Forms
environment. It offers a wide range of checks at the ultimate and
serviceability limit states, in compliance with EN 1992- 1- 1. All checks are
supported for predefined as well as arbitrary cross- section shapes. The
reinforced cross- section may be subject to uniaxial or biaxial bending in
combination with normal force, shear forces and torsion. Results are
displayed in a numerical as well as a graphical way, including dynamic
images of interaction diagrams and stress / strain distributions.
SCIA Concrete Section is a fast and intuitive calculation tool that is bound to
make your daily work more efficient and pleasant. Quick check or detailed
analysis? Your choice!
l High performance: adaptations to input data are immediately reflected in
the output window
l Clear, transparent reporting, giving the user insight in the calculation and
assisting him/her in dealing with the Eurocode
l Level of output detail chosen by the user (Summary table, Brief,
Standard, Detailed, Internal Forces)
l Dynamic images accompanying the numerical output:
l Drawing of cross-section incl. reinforcement layout
l Stress and strain distributions in different limit states
l 2D prints of 3D interaction diagrams
l Summary table with the result status of all checks
l Error/Warning/Note system to inform about possible issues
l Print and export to several file formats (e.g. PDF), including
personalized header and footer
l Language of GUI and report output to be set separately by the user
l Support of multiple loading sets per limit state
