Description	BETONexpress is a program for designing concrete structure components (slabs, beams, columns, footings, retaining walls, corbels and deep beams, section capacity for slabs, beams and columns, strengthening of plates, beams, and columns with fibre reinforced polymers). For each component of the design the user specifies the basic dimensions, loads and material properties, and the program produces a detailed concrete design. The dimensioning is according to Eurocode 2, supplemented by Eurocode 7 for geotechnical analysis (footings, retaining walls), Eurocode 1 for load combinations, and Eurocode 8 for seismic loading. A combined report and reinforcing steel schedule is produced for the designed concrete components. Assumptions and references to design codes are shown in the report. The design code parameters, as well as default values can be adjusted by the user. The reinforcing steel schedule can be edited. In addition a set of engineering tools (unit conversion, computation of areas, moments of inertia, standard steel sections etc.) are included. Spread footings can be designed for centrically loaded columns, eccentrically loaded footings, and eccentric footings, with vertical loading and moments at the top, dead and live loading. Load combinations according to Eurocode 2, Eurocode 7, and Eurocode 1. Exact computation of pressure distribution under the footing. Geotechnical design using Eurocode 7, or allowable soil stress. Retaining walls of gravity or cantilever type (reinforced) are designed using Eurocode 7 or allowable soil stress. Active and passive earth pressure using Coulomb's theory. Design of gravity walls using Eurocode 6 or allowable stresses. Earthquake analysis according to Eurocode 8, Mononobe-Okabe. Load combinations according to Eurocode 2, Eurocode 7 and Eurocode 1. Available in English, Greek and Norwegian. A demonstration version is available on the www.
