FRP Beam Strengthening (Premium)
FRP Beam Strengthening-Premium is sectional analysis software. It is designed and tested for rectangular, tee and inverted L reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) sheets, plates and NSM FRP bars or tape.
FRP Beam Strengthening-Premium is specialized in flexural and shear analysis with up to four layers of reinforcing steel(one compression layer and up to three tension layers). The software inputs are divided into material and geometrical properties, where every category covers the different properties for concrete, steel and FRP.
The premium version provides a design tool for FRP area that takes into account the strength and serviceability requirement for the section in flexure and in shear, the design tool generates a detailed graphs and tables to understand the behavior of the cross section strengthened with different FRP ratios in flexure and in shear. This tool gives a quick approach to design a cross section without the troublesome of iteration.
This version is equipped with a flexural design tool to meet all the strength and serviceability requirements, where the required number of flexural FRP plies is calculated.

Complete Geometrical and material definition
The software inputs are divided into material and geometrical properties, where every category covers the different properties for concrete, steel and FRP.
Full Flexural and Shear Analysis
A complete flexural and shear analysis is presented with a to-scale cross section and strain profile. The results show a complete strength and serviceability calculation. All detailed calculations could be printed through the “Report” button.
Rectangular, Tee and Inverted L sections
The software is capable of analyzing and designing rectangular, tees and inverted L reinforced concrete sections.
Tees and Inverted Ls cross section
Tees and inverted L sections are very common in commercial and residential buildings. Cast-together beams and slabs form internal Tee sections and external inverted L sections.
FRP sheets and Plates
Complete analysis for sections strengthened with FRP sheets or plates. The number of plies, ply width and ply thickness are the geometrical properties for the FRP sheets.
FRP (Near Surface Mounted Bars) NSM
Complete analysis for sections strengthened with FRP bars or tapes. The number of bars, bar area and bars depth are the geometrical properties for the FRP NSM bars/tapes.
Flexural Design Tool
The software provides a fully functional design tool to calculate FRP ratio based on the strength and serviceability requirement in flexure.
Tabulated Flexural Design Data
The software presents a list of flexural designs, capturing the related variables and design modes.
Shear Design Tool
The software provides a fully functional design tool to calculate FRP requirements based on the strength and serviceability requirement in shear.
Tabulated Shear Design Data
Different shear designs are presented for different number of strips and a full range of FRP width to spacing ratios.
