• How does Diamonds calculate the shear reinforcement

  Diamonds uses the Variable Strut Inclination method as described in EN 1992 §6.2. The inclination of the concrete strut is expressed with...

• Why do Diamonds and ConCrete use θ = 31°?

  The choice of θ largely determines the amount of shear reinforcement. If you want to minimize the amount of shear...

• Is it possible to take concrete shrinkage into account?

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to take concrete shrinkage into account in any of our programs.

• Can Diamonds calculate the buckling resistance of a wall?

  Unfortunatly, none of our programs is capable of calculating the buckling resistance of walls.

• Does the practical reinforcement module take the anchorage length into account?

  No, the Practical reinforcement module cannot/ will not take the anchorage length into account. Why not? One of the bigger issues...
