ATIR's staff of software and structural engineers, aided by a team of academic experts, has been dedicated to the task of creating top quality programs for the construction industry. ATIR set its goal to produce a structural analysis program that would be sophisticated and comprehensive and at the same time easy to use for the professional engineer. STRAP incorporates the feedback from hundreds of satisfied users worldwide. ATIR's programs are used by large prestigious firms, public and government organizations as well as small consulting offices around the world. BEAMD will analyze and design just about any section of a single-span or continuous beam subject to a wide range of loading conditions. Standard combination load cases are generated automatically to meet code requirements. The resultant BM envelope may be automatically adjusted for redistribution within specified limits. In addition to the standard beams, the program can handle special cases too, such as: Tapered, stpped or haunched beams. Beams with elastic supports. Settlement of supports. Torsion (eccentric loads). Seismic and wind loads The program automatically designs the links (stirrups) with variable spacing allowing for shear reduction at the supports. The program calculates the immediate and the long term deflections accounting for a cracked section, based on the reinforcement area in the beam.
