In the words of Robert E. Park and Thomas Paulay, pioneers of concrete design: "A designer who ignores cracking does so at the peril of the structure's future." IdeCAD Structural ensures that no engineer needs to ignore it again.

: ideCAD automatically applies stiffness reduction factors based on international codes like ACI 318 . For example, the moment of inertia for cracked walls is typically set to 0.35Ig0.35 cap I sub g , compared to 0.70Ig0.70 cap I sub g for uncracked sections.

Following the automatic code checks, ideCAD presents a full summary of the analysis, including detailed design results for concrete elements, crack control results, and reinforcement details.

After performing the command, you can generate reports to verify compliance with crack-related safety codes.
