BIMware MASTER EC2 Reinforcement

BIMware MASTER EC2 Reinforcement is dedicated to conduct calculations for the necessary reinforcement areas or maximum capacities of concrete sections and RC elements beams and columns. The Expertise module allows a user to verify RC sections of any shapes with arbitrary defined reinforcement.

All calculations are conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the EUROCODE 2 (EN 1992-1-1) with possibility to consider national annexes for the following countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Romania, United Kingdom, Italy.

An additional module 'Expertise' analyses stresses and distribution of compression and tension zones for a given loads, section and reinforcement. Section and zone parameters calculation is based on section triangulation.
