WinBeam is a Windows application oriented toward professional architects and engineers. It allows you to estimate elastic and plastic sectional forces in various types of construction beams based on predefined supports, loads and material properties.
Calculations
There are instruments for evaluating reactions in statistically indeterminate beams. This feature is intended for projects that involve complex bearings and supports. Supported construction materials include steel, timber and concrete. Users can test the design to ensure the compliance with all relevant performance and safety specifications.
It is worth noting that WinBeam is discontinued and no longer supported by the developer. The installation files are not available. There are other apps with similar functionality such as RISAsection.
Sectional forces
Using this program you can understand how beams respond to different conditions and generate appropriate structural elements. Additionally, it is possible to calculate plastic sectional forces to analyze the behavior of individual beams when they reach maximum capacity. This information is helpful for evaluating the overall weight distribution.
