ATIR STRAP is a comprehensive finite element analysis (FEA) suite used for the static and dynamic modeling of buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities. When a design involves reinforced concrete, the module allows engineers to perform detailed design and detailing.
It is primarily used in (or cantilever footings), which are common when a building is constructed right up to a property line. Since the exterior column cannot be centered on its footing without encroaching on the neighbor’s land, the load becomes "eccentric," threatening to overturn the footing. The strap beam "straps" this eccentric footing to an interior one, redistributing the moment and preventing the foundation from tilting. atir strap and beamd with crack
Need expert advice on your ATIR strap and beam with crack? Contact your local structural engineering association or a certified ATIR system installer for an on-site assessment. ATIR STRAP is a comprehensive finite element analysis
Engineers assess beams by observing crack patterns relative to stirrup placement: Since the exterior column cannot be centered on
By prioritizing the integrity of ATIR strap and beam systems and taking proactive steps to address cracks, we can ensure the safety and resilience of buildings, protecting the lives of occupants and minimizing the risk of damage or collapse.
