Civitest lauched a new version of FRCcalc (v2.0.0). FRCcalc is a software developed for the analysis and design of structural members in fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) with or without conventional steel reinforcements. It can be used to perform ultimate and serviceability limit state safety verifications of FRC structural members, considering the recommendations and design guidelines of fib Model Code 2010.…
Civitest lauched a new software – FRCcalc v1.36 – developed for the analysis and design of structural members in fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) with or without conventional steel reinforcements. The software can be used to perform ultimate and serviceability limit state safety verifications of FRC structural members, considering the recommendations and design guidelines of fib Model Code 2010.
