SCIA Concrete Section - Features

Primary tabs

With SCIA Concrete Section, the structural engineer can easily and quickly design, check and optimize reinforced concrete sections. All required data are easily input in clear dialogues.

  • Fast design work flow thanks to the intuitive user interface
  • EC EN 1992-1-1 checks cover the specifics of National Annexes
  • Easy input of longitudinal and shear reinforcement using templates
  • “Live” response to any modification of the design
  • Selection of levels of detail in the transparent calculation report
  • Export of the final document to MS Word

SCIA Concrete Section Sections and Reinforcement

Clear & Structured Input

The input of the required data is split to several tabs, with self-explanatory parameters. The program differentiates between member types: beam vs. column and selects the appropriate calculation steps: recalculation of internal forces with the respect to 2nd order, check of slenderness...

SCIA Concrete Section Design and Verification

Design and Verification

Two calculation modes are available: design and checks. Multiple checks can be performed:

  • for ultimate limit state: capacity – response, capacity - interaction diagram, shear + torsion interaction, detailing provisions,
  • for serviceability limit state: stress limitation of cracks, crack width, deflection.
SCIA Concrete Section Report Window

Report Window

The report shows all the calculation steps and lists the formulas stipulated in the code (EN 1992-1-1) that were used in the displayed checks. Depending on the needs, a suitable level of detail can be shown.

SCIA Concrete Section Sections and Reinforcement

All Section Geometries

In SCIA Concrete Section all cross-section shapes from SCIA Engineer concrete-cross-section library can be verified.

SCIA Concrete Section Reinforcement Templates

Reinforcement Templates

Reinforcement in typical sections (e.g. rectangle, circle, T, etc.) is easily specified using predefined templates for common arrangements of reinforcement in a section.

SCIA Concrete Section Reinforcement in a General Section

Reinforcement in a General Section

For other than typical sections and for configurations requiring more complex arrangement of reinforcement, a clear dialogue allows the engineers to specify whatever reinforcement is required for a particular section.

SCIA Concrete Section International Application

International Application

SCIA Concrete Section performs calculations according to EN 1992 including the support for 18 National Annexes.

SCIA Concrete Section Calculation Options

Calculation Options

  • General cross-section shapes and arbitrary reinforcement positions.
  • Combination of normal forces, biaxial bending moment and biaxial shear forces.
