Module Description

Analyze and design flat slab or waffle slab floors.

Flat slabs may have drop panels at columns and columns may have capitals. Analyses are for a one-bay-wide strip using the equivalent frame analysis method of the ACI code. The strip may have up to 20 spans and may have cantilevers at the ends.

Technical Specifications

  • Transforms the complexity of beamless concrete floors into a fast, intuitive workflow — just enter geometry and loads, and the engine handles the rest.
  • Built on the ACI‑approved Equivalent Frame Method, delivering reliable designs for flat slabs and waffle slabs without manual frame modeling.
  • Supports up to 20 spans plus cantilevers, giving engineers flexibility for real‑world floor layouts.
  • Handles drop panels, column capitals, punching shear, and eccentric shear with code‑aligned accuracy.
  • Designs top and bottom reinforcement for both column strips and middle strips, including bar sizes, quantities, and lengths.
  • Automatically computes steel volume, concrete volume, weight per square foot, and surface area, helping teams estimate materials quickly.
  • Accepts area loads and partial‑span loads, including line loads perpendicular to the design strip.
  • Produces clean, professional RTF reports compatible with Word.
  • Offers US/metric units, user‑defined defaults, and a simple one‑file project structure.
  • Graphic input backgrounds keep the interface visual and intuitive.
