• Altiscad Intellishape - Altiscad Intellishape is a general purpose biaxial bending calculation software tool, developed to design and check any geometry cross section. The software allows to design and check the bearing capacity for any geometry cross section. The materials for the elements are concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry, composite and also user input materials. The software permits the calculus of any type of cross section. Altiscad Intellishape is a standalone software which cooperates with Robot Structural Analysis (Robot Millennium) and also with Revit Structure. This allows the import of forces, materials and also the geometry of the element (column or structural wall).
• Aprop - Determines sectional properties by the "integration of area" method.
• BIAX 1 - Legacy software from 19992 to evaluate uniaxial and biaxial strength and deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete (R/C) sections. Source code in FORTRAN and related reports can be downloaded from the earthquake engineering online archive maintained by University of California Berkeley.

  BIAX-1: Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Sections

  Department of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1992,

  BIAX-1 is a general purpose computer program to evaluate uniaxial and biaxial strength and deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete (R/C) sections. The program computes these characteristics based on the assumption that plane sections remain plane after the application of loading. The program can be used to compute strength or moment-curvature relations for uniaxial or biaxial monotonic loading of reinforced concrete sections. Nonlinear material models are used for both the reinforcing steel and the concrete. The model for the stress-strain behavior of the reinforcing steel is versatile, allowing relations that closely approximate experimentally observed behavior.The program allows two stress-strain diagrams for concrete (unconfined and confined) and four relations for reinforcing steel. The R/C section is described as a combination of rectangular subsections; therefore the program allows easy generation of T, L, or barbell shaped sections. The program user specifies a mesh for each subsection. An iterative procedure (simple bisection algorithm) is used to obtain a solution for the prescribed problem.
