CONTINUOUS BEAM
Analysis and design of continuous composite beams and slabs
Analysis | Design | Detailing
The composite continuous beam design program allows you to design multi-span composite beams. Composite construction methods are becoming more popular globally due to the rapid construction potential and efficient use of materials. The program forms part of the PROKON structural analysis and design suite together with the three other composite design modules.
