Beam EC2 v5.2.0

Various improvements to the Report Generator.

Improvements

  • Various improvements to the Report Generator.
  • Added an option to visualize a dimension line the entire beam length when the beam has several spans.
  • Improved the calculation output for Shear Force in cases where the ULS and ACC designs give identical utilization ratios.
  • Improved how the Save-prompt works when closing the program, it will no longer close without saving if the user closes the File Dialog.
  • Minor UI and performance improvements.

New Features

  • Added Swedish Concrete materials C28/35 and C32/40, these only appear when a Swedish NA is selected.
  • Added a warning when the user has selected a w/c-ratio higher than what is permitted in Eurocode with respect to the Exposure Class.
  • Added a warning when the user has selected a concrete grade that is recommended to be higher with respect to the Exposure Class according to Annex E of EN 1992-1-1. This annex is not used in Swedish NA, but it can still serve as a good rule of thumb.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where heavily over-reinforced sections would calculate incorrect compressive zone and moment resistance in ULS.
  • Fixed a rare issue where the results in the UI could freeze and not get updated.
