Concise Beam 4.66.13

Concise Beam is an easy-to-use program for designing precast concrete beams. Concise Beam will perform load analysis and design checks according to the latest version of ACI 318, CSA A23.3 & S6, AS3600 or NZ3101.1. It can model any cross-sectional shape and will allow the cross-section to vary prismatically (in steps) along the length of the beam. The graphical editor allows the user to describe any cross-section, including blanks.

Features of Concise Beam
