AdSec is an analysis program for sections under load. It was originally developed for analysis of reinforced concrete sections but can now look at concrete, steel or fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) sections, plus sections composed of any combinations of these materials.
Analysis options are available for serviceability and ultimate limit states in accordance with a wide range of international design codes, whether for uniaxial or biaxial conditions.
Simplified parametric input of geometry and reinforcement layout is available for regular shaped column and beam sections. Tools allow these simple sections to be assembled into more complex (compound) sections.
Simulate the following load types:
- Axial loads and bending moments
- Prestress using unbonded tendons
- Shrinkage and temperature effects
-
Nominal eccentricity moments
AdSec is available in two versions: Standard and Advanced. Details of features available in each of the versions are given in the AdSec Functional Specifications
