- Grid lines can now be generated uniformly or at an incline with various options to aid modeling geometry in STRUDS. Grid lines can also be edited as required. - ETABS files and analysis files can now be imported into and exported from STRUDS. - Slab design parameters now allow factors to be set for top and bottom steel detailing. - Pattern loading is implemented, applying live loads on alternate and adjoining spans, and beam design considers worst load combinations. - Maximum bar length and layers can now be set in beam design parameters to aid reinforcement detailing.

2. Grid wise input for ease of geometry creation
New Feature
•Generation of
uniform and
inclined grid
lines is
possible with
various options
for the ease of
modeling.
•Editing of grid
lines as per
requirements is
also possible.

3. Import and Export of ETABS file in STRUDSFeature
New
If you have ETABS file
and it’s analysis file you
can import the same in
STRUDS.
You can export STRUDS
file in ETABS.

4. Provision in slab detailing New Feature
In slab design
parameters dialog box
an option is given to
decide slab detailing
parameters with factors
for top and bottom steel
detailing.

5. Generation of pattern loading New Feature
Under pattern
loading the live
loads are
applied on
alternate spans
ALT1, ALT2, ….
as well on two
adjoining spans
ADJ1, ADJ2…..
Beam design is done for worst of all load combinations including
pattern loads, Earthquake loads and wind loads.

6. Provision in beam detailing New Feature
In beam design parameters dialog
box an option is given to decide the
maximum layers of bars which will
be helpful in detailing of beam
reinforcement.
In User defined detailing one option
to decide maximum bar length is
given which will be helpful in
deciding laps in detailing.
For pattern loading by default the flag
is made on if you generate pattern
loads at Prepro.

7. Change in beam design dialog box when it fail in shear.
In beam design when any beam fail
in shear that time option to change
size for all beams is given.
In beam design, option for break
design is given.

8. Enhancement in column detailing New Feature
Parameters for maximum
tie length and link spacing
are given which will be
helpful in column ties
design and detailing.

9. Implementation of Strip footing. New Feature
In footing design parameters
under combined footing option
if the user selects the option of
Rectangular with beam type
then he will be able to design
strip footing for number of
columns.
