Types of cross-section

The program allows the user to either input the cross-section parameters digitally or to choose from one of the predefined types of the cross-section. The type of material of the cross-section is selected from the catalog of materials or is introduced digitally using the editor of materials. The following types of the beam cross-section are implemented: 

- rectangular concrete wall – a beam wall thickness must be specified
- pile wall – a pile diameter and their spacing must be specified
- steel sheet pile – selected from the built-in database
- steel I cross-section – a type of cross-section from the built-in database is selected, their spacing must be specified (the type of cross-section is selected from the "Catalog of cross-sections", or is defined in the "Editor of cross-sections", the type of material is selected from the "Catalog of materials" or is specified digitally in the "Editor of materials")

All inputted cross-sections are automatically recalculated per 1m (feet) run. The results of internal forces developed along the beams are also presented per 1m (feet) run of a structure. Thus if necessary, for piles or I cross-sections they must be adjusted depending on their spacing by the user.

Providing you have your own database of sheet piles, which is not yet built-in the program, we will be happy to implement it. You may reach us at hotline@fine.cz.
