Getting Started

Eriksson Beam is a Microsoft Windows-based program for the design and analysis of horizontal flexural prestressed and mild reinforcement members such as double tees and spandrels in accordance the ACI 318 specifications.

Developed in the C# language in the .NET Framework, Eriksson Beam incorporates a state-of-the-art computational engine to perform extremely fast, real-time calculations.

Eriksson Beam was created specifically for the Microsoft Windows environment. Full support is provided for all Windows features. All Windows are scrollable.  Eriksson Beam’s interface takes full advantage of Windows’ power and flexibility to give you better control over the design process.
