ORTHOGONAL SLAB AND BEAM STRUCTURE

A slab and beam structure defined by orthogonal grid lines can be analyzed by rectvagd.exe in conjunction with brun45.exe. The "brun45.exe" file is necessary because "rectvagd.exe" is not a stand-alone executable file.
Documentation and a sample input file are given in varygrid.doc.

THIS PROGRAM IS APPLICABLE ONLY FOR A SLAB AND BEAM STRUCTURE THAT IS RECTANGULAR IN PLAN. NODES (JOINTS) OF THE STRUCTURE ARE DEFINED BY AN INTERSECTING GRID OF ROW AND COLUMN LINES.

  • The grid spacing can vary in any pattern.
  • Beams are located along row and/or column lines.
  • Springs are allowed.
  • Uniform and concentrated loads can be used.
