Continuous Beam RC Design App - Thai Standards

A comprehensive continuous beam reinforced concrete design application using finite element analysis with Thai reinforcement standards.

Features

• Finite Element Analysis: Accurate structural analysis for up to 10 spans
• Thai Standards: Reinforcement design using Thai steel grades (fy = 4000 ksc)
• Multiple Loading Types:
  • Distributed loads (kN/m)
  • Point loads (kN)
  • Mixed loading patterns
• Comprehensive Results:
  • Bending Moment Diagrams (BMD)
  • Shear Force Diagrams (SFD)
  • Detailed reinforcement layout with optimized bar spacing
  • Enhanced stirrup layout with precise spacing dimensions
• Professional Output: Detailed design reports and visual diagrams

Usage

1. Set Beam Properties: Width, depth, concrete strength (f'c), steel strength (fy), cover
2. Add Spans: Enter span length and distributed load
3. Add Point Loads (optional): Use format position,load; position,load
   • Example: 2.0,50; 4.0,30 means 50kN at 2m and 30kN at 4m
4. Design Beam: Get complete analysis and design results
