Composite beam and slab tool
This software streamlines the design of composite and non-composite steel systems, supporting multi-span and single-span decks with comprehensive fire resistance and serviceability checks, including deflection and vibration analysis.
When using this digital tool it will support both non-composite and composite design stages, covering fire resistance, and serviceability limit state checks including deflection and vibration. The multi-span and single-span deck functionality gives options for propped and unpropped construction, incorporating manufacturers’ data for resistance values.
About this software
Key features

For slab design the software:
- calculates self-weight based on floor layout;
- supports fire limit state design using temperature profiles and residual material strengths;
- includes various deck types such as Svelte, Hibond, Concrete Saver, Ultra Span, and Comflor;
- analyses as single spanning in the direction of the profiled decking; and
- treats the decking and reinforcement mesh appropriately for tension and anti-crack reinforcement.

For beam design the software:
- handles simply supported composite beams with various steel section options;
- verifies beams at elevated temperatures, reporting critical temperatures;
- allows users to define project settings, add new slabs or beams, and review analysis results;
- provides a user interface that includes tabs for managing files, projects, slab designs, and beam designs;
- gives functionality to create, upload, and download project files; and
- analyses and optimises beam sections based on design inputs and outputs.
