BIMware MASTER EC2 Reinforcement software is designed to perform calculations on the required reinforcement area or maximum load-bearing capacity of concrete sections and reinforced concrete elements such as beams and columns. The Expertise module allows users to check reinforced concrete sections of any shape with arbitrarily defined reinforcement.

Key Features of MASTER EC2 Reinforcement

• Design reinforced concrete beams and columns according to Eurocode 2.
• Supports multiple national annexes (e.g., UK, Germany, France).
• Calculates the required reinforcement area for given internal forces.
• Checks the maximum load-bearing capacity of a section for a given reinforcement arrangement.
• Supports rectangular, T-shaped, L-shaped, and H-shaped beam sections.
• Supports rectangular, circular, and polygonal column sections.
• Handles the geometry and loads of multi-span beams with internal force diagrams.
• Performs limit state checks. Upper Limit State (ULS) and Lower Limit State (SLS), including cracking and deflection.
• Consider quadratic effects and geometric defects.
• Enforce standard rules for minimum/maximum reinforcement and bar details.
• Allow arbitrary cross-sectional shapes and bar layouts in advanced “expert” mode.
• Provide graphical visualizations of cross-sections, stresses, and reinforcement.
• Export drawings to DXF and data to other formats.
• Create editable calculation reports and documents.
• Provide a user-friendly interface with multiple language options.
• And many more features…
