Quick link: E-learning modules for Concrete: CAlcreteĬALcrete is a free comprehensive suite of 16 computer-aided e-learning modules on concrete materials, design and construction, containing essential material and information for all construction professionals - from architects to site engineers.Integrated Solutions with S-FRAME Analysis and 3rd Party Software This software tool helps demonstrate the passive design principles of buildings to non-specialists, and enables key design variables such as orientation, ventilation and thermal mass to be more easily understood. Quick link: Calculator and Passive Design Assistant Quick link: Thermal Performance Tools: Dynamic Thermal PropertiesĪ free tool for calculating the thermal properties of construction elements has been launched by The Concrete Centre following development by Arup. For post-graduates and new engineers they encourage understanding of concrete design and help the gaining of experience by studying 'what if' scenarios. Quick link: Structural Design of Concrete: RC Spreadsheets v4Dįor the experienced engineer, the spreadsheets allow the rapid production of clear and accurate design calculations. The Concept version 4 spreadsheet compares conceptual designs to Eurocode 2 for 13 forms of reinforced concrete construction, then ranks them in order of cost, programme or embodied carbon. This section contains easy links to these: Cost and Carbon: Concept V4 These include computer programs and design manual publications. Much of The Concrete Centre's output is aimed at freeing the designer from laborious tasks to allow time to choose the best structure using further design tools. Ease and cost of design are important factors in the choice, efficient design, and buildability of building frames.
