An ideal training tool for EN 1993-1-1 (EC3), quikEC3 is a very useful 'electronic blue book' which can calculate properties, section classifications and structural capacities for a wide range of section shapes, using EC3 terminology. A database of all major worldwide steel sections is included but custom tables are easily built for non-standard sections.

 

 

In addition, the program calculates the following:

Section classifications for axial, y bending, z bending : (for non-symmetrical sections, classification is carried out for either top, bottom, left or right of section in compression depending upon section orientation).

Calculation of effective section properties for class4 (slender) sections including any shift in neutral axis.

Section capacity checks: axial tension, axial compression, moment, low shear, high shear, moment and shear, moment with axial, moment axial and shear for both Y and Z axis bending. Class1, 2, 3 and 4 (slender) sections are covered.

Combined axial, X moment and Y moment capacity checks.

 

Download this innovative program now and try it free for up to thirty days (registration required).

Buy it for just £75 + vat (Special Offer) HERE or by calling 08456 250559 with your credit card details for immediate unlock code.
