FRP Column Confinement Analysis
FRP Column Confinement Analysis
FRP Column Confinement Analysis is a comprehensive analysis and design software for reinforced concrete columns confined with FRP wraps. It is designed and tested for rectangular, circular, and elliptical column sections. It enables the generation of limit and design interaction diagram for short columns, considering biaxial bending plus axial compression-tension forces in accordance with ACI 440.2R-17 and ACI 318-19. The user also has the option to analyze and design slender columns by including the slenderness effect in accordance with either the ACI moment magnifier method or an Advanced Method formulated by the developers of the software. The software operates in dual units SI and US customary units with full capability of switching back and forth between them. It is also made powerful by providing special utility tools capable of designing for the required longitudinal steel ratio or confinement FRP ratio. Furthermore, the software is supported by a professional design report consisting of input parameters and output results.
The software inputs are divided into material and geometrical properties, where every category covers the different properties for concrete, steel and FRP. For the interaction diagrams, the user can select to plot limit, design, unconfined or confined interaction diagrams at any desired slope angle of biaxial moment ratio. Moreover, the user can plot demand values to check whether they fall inside or outside the interaction diagrams. The software is further equipped with full consideration of slenderness effects in both directions with sway or no sway mode options and combinations thereof. The final product is very versatile in offering a wide range of load combinations, slenderness effects and analysis/design interaction diagrams.

Complete Frame Analysis
To make the software more powerful, it is equipped with the complete capability to perform first order frame analysis overcoming the need to use another software to obtain first order moments. It can handle up to 7 spans in each direction. It can also account for distributed loads in addition to the concentrated loads.
