DCBC

The DCBC app includes the structural safety design of reinforced concrete columns.

The DCBC "Design of Concrete Beam Columns" - application contains the structural safety design of reinforced concrete columns according to the current standard. The aim of this application is that the user can quickly make a statement about a particular column cross-section.

Practical building cross-sections such as rectangular and circular (ring) are cross-section support. The choice of materials includes all concrete classes within the range of normal concrete C12 / 15 - 50/60 C and the concrete steels, letter 500, 550 and Bst Bst 600th

The proof in the ultimate limit state is managed in accordance with Austrian Standard EN 1992-1-1 National Annex (NAD). The determination of the design relevant internal forces is based on the nominal curvature method.

The main focus has been placed on a mobile and intuitive application. For this reason, input and output layouts are reduced to the essentials. However, standing, if necessary, additional information on how to enter are available. The edition is limited to the essential information such as: cross-sectional data, material, design relevant internal forces and the required reinforcement. If necessary, detailed results (eg strain, material data, iterations, ...) can be called from a menu.

The calculation results can be stored locally or ... exported via email, Dropbox.

Permission to write to the internal memory is required to be able to store the calculation results locally.

Notes and Information:

The use of this application is a rough calculation to make quick statements on site. The results obtained should not supersede a testable statics.

For the use and results of the application no responsibility or liability is accepted.

Further information is contained in concrete and reinforced concrete issue 3/2015.
