Shoring
Three types of shoring are allowed in Eriksson Beam: None, Elevated, and Touch. Depending on the type of shoring, certain loads will be carried by the composite section instead of the non-composite section. If the shoring type is none, no changes are made, if the shoring type is touch, only topping weight is affected, and if the shoring type is elevated, all non composite loads are modified. In addition to defining the type of shoring, the user can also define the region of the beam the shoring is placed. Only loads placed above the shored region are modified. For example, you can have a cantilever member only be shored for the cantilever leaving the main span alone. This will result in only a portion of the loads to be shored, where the remainder will be on the non-composite section.
