Continuous Beam
DLT+
DLT+ can be used to calculate single-span and continuous beams for reinforced concrete, steel, timber and aluminum 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, better usability, a clear and detailed customizable documentation, the program offers an interactive reinforcement layout.

Beam types
- Reinforced concrete slabs (with reinforcement layout)
- Uniaxial and biaxial reinforced concrete beams (with reinforcement layout)
- Uniaxial and biaxial steel beams
- Uniaxial and biaxial timber beams
- Uniaxial and biaxial aluminium beams
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. For reinforced concrete cross-sections, users can define concrete and reinforcing steels.
Loads
Standard loading and multi-span loading can be defined as uniformly distributed load, concentrated load, concentrated moment, trapezoidal load and triangular load.
General
For concrete, steel, timber and aluminium, the program carries out the stress analysis for the preselected cross-section dimensions.
