4 capabilities in this set.
Part of 4 available through Concrete Thermal Expansion.
- 01
Calculate free expansion
Determines the theoretical movement of a concrete element if it were completely free to move
- 02
Compare expansion vs reinforcement
Evaluates if the internal stresses generated by thermal movement exceed the capacity provided by reinforcement
- 03
Calculate required joint width
Determines the minimum gap (joint) needed between two concrete elements to accommodate thermal expansion
- 04
Calculate restrained stress
Calculates the internal stress generated in a concrete element when its movement is restricted

FAQ
Questions Concrete Thermal Expansion owners ask.
- 01
How do I calculate the expansion of a concrete beam?
You can use the calculate_free_expansion capability by providing the beam length, the temperature change, and the expansion coefficient.
- 02
Can I account for steel reinforcement in my stress calculations?
Yes, the calculate_restrained_stress capability accepts an optional reinforcementRatio to adjust the internal stress calculation.
- 03
How do I determine the required gap between concrete sections?
Use the calculate_required_joint_width capability. You can also include a safety margin to ensure the gap is sufficient.
