Continuous Beam Design Using ASDIP CONCRETE

Image
  Dear ASDIP Customer ASDIP CONCRETE includes the design of multi-span continuous beams per the latest ACI 318 provisions. But how do you actually enter the information in the program? How do you check the results? How do you optimize the design? How do you print out the reports? I have prepared a blog post with a short video, where I show an overview of the user interface and the required steps to design continuous beams using ASDIP CONCRETE quick and easily.  Y ou are invited to read this blog post and watch the video.

Concrete Column Design - Structural Overview

Image
​ Dear ASDIP Customer: Columns are very important structural elements. The design of slender concrete columns subject to axial loads and bending moments may be cumbersome and time-consuming. The generation of the interaction diagram may become very complex, particularly for bi-axial columns. I have prepared a blog post with a short video, with an overview of the design methodology, and engineering background with comments about the most important topics.

Significance of an Effective Spread Footing Design

Image
The weight and size of a building structure along with the nature of the soil distribution it is built on, plays a massive role in the foundation design. Soil pressure dispersal must be addressed to ensure a sound structure. Spread footing is a critical structural component that offers strength to a building's foundation.
