Continuous Beam
DLT+ can be used to calculate single-span and continuous beams for reinforced concrete, steel and timber with an unlimited number of spans, with or without cantilevers. Cross-sections can be constant or variable. Joints are also possible. In addition to the optically adapted interface, easier operation, a clear and detailed customizable output, the program offers a completely revised interactive reinforcement guide.

Beam types
- Reinforced concrete slab (with reinforcement layout as additional option BTM-BEW)
- Reinforced concrete beam (also biaxial as additional option BTM-2 and with reinforcement layout as additional option BTM-BEW)
- Steel beam (also biaxial as additional option STM-2)
- Timber beams (also biaxial as additional option HTM-2)
Depending on the selected material, the cross-section definition is adjusted. Depending on the material, haunches and cross-section discontinuities, block-outs or multi-part/rotated/reinforced cross-sections can be defined, for example. The selection from the FRILO steel database is also available for steel cross-sections.
Loads
Standard loading and multi-span loading can be defined as uniformly distributed load, concentrated load, concentrated moment, trapezoidal load and triangular load.
Detailed information
DLT+ combines all beam types/materials of the individual programs BTM+, HTM+ and STM+ in one program.
Therefore, you will find detailed information under
Continuous Beam Concrete BTM+
Continuous Beam Timber HTM+
Continuous Beam Steel STM+
General
For concrete, steel and timber, the program carries out the design or the stress analysis for the preselected cross-section dimensions.
Reinforced Concrete
- Automatic calculation of the effective slab width
- Calculation of the deformations in state II for reinforced concrete cross-sections with standards based on the partial safety concept
- Crack width verification (limit diameter) and stress analysis
- Consideration of the durability requirements
- Calculation and consideration of the creep coefficient and the shrinkage strain in the serviceability analyses
- Verification of the shear joint for slabs and T-beams
- You can perform an analysis of the connection of the compression flange (shear joint analysis) for T-beams
Timber
- Optionally, shear deformations can be considered with timber beams
- Vibration analysis
- Hot design
- Stability analysis
Steel and timber
- Optimization of the dimensioning and design with steel and timber beams
- Stability analysis for steel girders
Add-on modules
