SCIA Concrete Section EN 1992-1-1
License code: 10200
SCIA Concrete Section is a stand-alone application for the verification of reinforced concrete cross-sections, developed within the Design Forms environment. It offers a wide range of checks at the ultimate and serviceability limit states, in compliance with EN 1992-1-1. All checks are supported for predefined as well as arbitrary cross-section shapes. The reinforced cross-section may be subject to uniaxial or biaxial bending in combination with normal force, shear forces and torsion. Results are displayed in a numerical as well as a graphical way, including dynamic images of interaction diagrams and stress / strain distributions.
SCIA Concrete Section is a fast and intuitive calculation tool that is bound to make your daily work more efficient and pleasant. Quick check or detailed analysis? Your choice!

Content of the calculation
For member type 'Beam'
- Concrete cover calculation
- Creep coefficient calculation
For member type 'Column' (as addition to member type 'Beam')
- Slenderness check
- Calculation of 2nd order bending moments (if required) and moments due to geometric imperfections
Checks at Ultimate Limit State:
- Capacity check for N-My-Mz interaction by interaction diagram methods
- Check of ultimate stresses and strains for N-My-Mz interaction by response check
- Check of interaction for for Vy-Vz-T (shear & torsion)
- Detailing provisions check
Checks at Serviceability Limit State:
- Stress limitation (for concrete as well as reinforcing steel)
- Crack width limitation
- Limitation of deflection
Design of longitudinal and shear reinforcement on Ultimate Limit State combination
For calculations going beyond the initial scope of EN 1992-1-1, advanced generic algorithms – in full compliance with the Eurocode assumptions – have been implemented.
