GaLa Reinforcement is a powerful construction program to streamline any structural design process
GaLa Reinforcement refers to a free construction program that is prepared as a part of Dr. Ilia Alashki Ph. D. thesis in 1997-2002. It is a globally recognized program that can be applied for measuring crack widths and cracked concrete stiffness degradation. The program is very effective for non-linear creep, arbitrary cross section geometry, arbitrary reinforcement layout, axial load with double bending moments, etc.
Concrete Design Codes:
- ACI 318-99, AASHTO LRFD 1997
- Eurocode 2
- BS 8110
- CSA-A23. 3-94
- BDS 1988, BDS HT 1989
- NZS 3101-95
- DIN 1045
- UBC 97
Analysis Types:
1. Design Section:
The program works out the required area of reinforcing bars.
2. Check Section:
The program verifies the strength of R/C cross-section with predetermined reinforcement.
3. Failure Surface:
The program estimates and draws interaction failure surfaces of R/C cross-section with predetermined reinforcement.
4. Stress-strain:
The program estimates the strains and stresses of R/C cross-section with predetermined reinforcement.
5. 1/r - EI:
The program computes the curvatures and stiffnesses of R/C cross-section with predetermined reinforcement.
6. 1/r - EI chart:
The program estimates and draws the curvature and stiffness charts of R/C cross-section with predetermined reinforcement.
7. Crack widths:
The program estimates the crack width and space among the cracks of R/C cross-section with predetermined reinforcement.
