Atir Strap And Beamd With Fix [hot] Crack -
In ATIR STRAP, managing reinforced concrete beams and addressing crack control is a core part of the design and detailing workflow. The software uses a modular approach, where the main STRAP finite element analysis results are passed to the RC Beams (often referred to in detailing contexts as BEAMD) post-processor to finalize reinforcement and check for serviceability requirements like crack widths. RC Beam Design and Crack Control Workflow
- Up to 85% recovery of original flexural strength in cracked beams retrofitted with ATIR straps.
- Zero crack reopening under service loads after one year of monitoring in slab applications.
- Better fatigue performance compared to FRP wraps, due to steel’s ductility and mechanical anchoring.
5. Typical Applications
- Slab cracks: ATIR straps installed in tension zones of slabs (e.g., near midspan or over supports).
- Wall cracks: Horizontal or diagonal straps to resist out-of-plane bending or in-plane shear.
- Beam flexural cracks: ATIR beam applied along the tension face to add reinforcement.
- Joints between precast elements: ATIR beam used as a concealed tie.
- Seismic retrofitting: Cracked shear walls repaired with crossing straps.
