Rectangular reinforced-concrete beam section analysis with force equilibrium, reinforcement layers, user stress block, cracking and shear checks from user-provided capacity.

For bar-defined layers, cover checks the bar-centre position; it does not set y automatically.
User values: concrete resultant C = α·fc·b·λc; tensile concrete is ignored at ultimate.
Available flexural capacity = η·Mₙ; this is not an automatically determined code factor.
Shear capacity is supplied entirely by the user; the tool does not design stirrups to a code.
Simplified section analysis based on plane sections, a user-defined rectangular concrete stress block and an elastic-perfectly-plastic steel model. Inputs do not constitute automatic verification to a specific code. Creep, shrinkage, bond slip, anchorage, torsion, punching, fatigue and a complete nonlinear analysis are excluded.
