When installed correctly, the repaired beam behaves like a new composite section — hence the keyword phrase “beam with crack new” meaning: the beam is treated as new after strap installation. atir strap and beamd with crack new
Integration: Designs from STRAP can be exported directly to BEAMD for detailed reinforcement planning. is a versatile 3D structural analysis and design
For engineers and contractors: always verify crack activity, groove dimensions, and bond strength. When installed with pre-stress and proper anchorage, the repaired beam will not only close the existing crack but also resist future cracking — making “new” not just a claim, but a measurable engineering outcome. Use a diamond saw to chases (small grooves)
Avoid these errors to ensure the “new” condition of the beam:
Multiple Option: Allows defining multiple nodes perpendicular to a line repeatedly without re-triggering the command.
