CV-001 AS 3600 Pad footing Published

Reinforced concrete pad footing

An independently prepared design example is compared directly with the RKALC pad footing calculation for the same geometry, materials and applied actions.

Flexural design in the critical direction
Column bearing stress and reinforcement development
Punching shear at the critical perimeter
One-way shear assessment
Direct comparison with the RKALC application and print report

CV-002 AS 3600:2018 + A1 RC & PT beams Published

General Beam RC and PT sections

Three published examples compare General Beam section calculations with an AS 3600:2018 T-beam design example and two legacy textbook capacity examples. The report explains differences in code factors, steel areas and modelling assumptions.

CSI Example 001: T-beam flexural and support-shear reinforcement
Warner Example 7.12: prestressed beam moment capacity
Warner Example 7.5: doubly reinforced beam with elastic compression steel
Section figures, comparison results and interpretations
Manual input tables and expected results for users to reproduce
