MASTER EC2 Reinforcement (Eurocode 2) 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. Design scope: calculations of necessary reinforcement areas for a user-defined section shape and size with given internal forces calculations of maximum capacities - internal forces for a user-defined section shape and size with given reinforcement areas calculations of required reinforcement area for a given external load on a beam, or a given internal forces diagram, with a typical static scheme calculations of required reinforcement area for a given external load on a column calculations of cracks and deflections (SLS conditions) verification of construction conditions such as: minimum and maximum reinforcement ratio, diameters of used bars, minimum cover thickness etc. reinforcement design for an untypical section shape verification of RC sections with arbitrary defined reinforcement Design & Analysis - key features calculations in accordance with the EUROCODE 2 extensive material database (concrete, reinforcement) geometrical imperfections and second order effects crack calculations impact of shrinkage and creep of concrete taken into account longitudinal and transversal reinforcement calculations
