Beam on Elastic Foundation

BEB+

The BEB+ program can be used to calculate elastically supported beams and one-way slabs based on the subgrade reaction modulus method in combination with the displacement method. The user can optionally select whether foundations and stiffness should be constant, linear or erratic. The foundation can be set to zero, either completely or in individual sections. In addition, tension spring failure can optionally be considered in the calculation. If the foundation is set to zero over the total beam, at least two supports are required. The user can add further rigid or elastic supports.

Material
  • Reinforced standard and lightweight concrete with selectable concrete qualities and steel grades
  • Optionally with a cast-in-place complement of different quality
Structural system
  • Definition of sections for cross-section offsets and foundation offsets or linear variable cross-sections or foundations
  • Free definition of supports (necessary, when there is no foundation, or in addition to the foundation)
  • Free arrangement of moment joints
  • Freely definable cross-sections as rectangles or T-beams that can optionally be assigned to individual sections

 

Soil:

  • Permissible base pressure resistance based on empirical values of DIN 1054 or user-defined

 

Groundwater:

  • Stagnant groundwater can optionally be taken into account at any height level

 

Loads
  • Freely definable beam loads in the form of
    • concentrated loads
    • line loads
