Major Upgrade BETONexpress
A new version of BETONexpress for concrete design adapted to the latest versions of Eurocodes is available.

Cost of Upgrade 120 Euro. We will contact all our customers by e-mail. If you request the new version you will receive a new address for the Upgrade.

If you upgrade your BETONexpress from the main menu the ordinary way, you will not install the new version 03.02.2007 with EN adaptions and automatic generation of CAD drawings. If you request the new version you will receive a different address for the Upgrade.

The new version also includes all previous features.
New in BETONexpress Version 03.02.2007

For concrete design Eurocode 2, EN 1992-1-1:2004, Design of concrete structures, General rules and rules for buildings.
For geotechnical design, Eurocode 7, EN 1997-1:2004, Geotechnical design – General rules.
For concrete design you can now choose Eurocode 2, EN 1992-1-1:2004 or (EC2) ENV 1992 Design of concrete structures.
For geotechnical design you can choose Eurocode 7, EN 1997-1:2004, Geotechnical design – General rules or (EC7) ENV 1997 Geotechnical design

 In this version, Ver. 05.11.06, following improvements and additions are done: 

• Automatic calculations as you alter the input data, and direct preview of full report.

• New design of reports, with alignment of the references at the right of the page. (this option can be canceled from Report setting/Paragraphs/Align references at right.)

• Reinforcement schedule is added in the end of each design object in the report. (this option may be canceled from Report setting/Graphic etc../ include rebar schedule in report)

• Export of report with drawings to PDF and Word files.

• You can select units for the rebar representation in the report from Setup/Units in report.

• You can adjust the rebar weight from Reinforcing steel properties/Weights.

 Plates

• Two ways plate analysis. The method of Czerny is added.

• In continuous plates, a load factor has been added at each span, to take care the two way load distribution in some cases.

 Beams

• Small eccentricity (solution diagrams included in report)

• Axial force (compression or tension)      

Columns

• New approach for single and double eccentricity with numerical integration. M-N diagrams obtained from numerical integration are included in the report.

• Column capacity, and column capacity with FRP. Diagrams have been added in the report.

Footings

• The depth of footing and the soil weight have been introduced.

• Negative (upward axial Load ) can be specified.

• The minimum reinforcement can be evaluated as plates (option Parameters of Reinforced concrete/Footings/requirements for min-max reinforcement as slabs), as the Eurocode is not clear on the subject.

Retaining walls

• More Wall shapes included.

• The minimum reinforcement can be evaluated as plates (option Parameters of retaining wall/Eurocode 2/requirements for min-max reinforcement as slabs), as the Eurocode is not clear on the subject.
