1. Completely visual interface. No input files, programming scripts or any other text editing requirements.

2. With a set of simple menus, the ETABS model can be imported and displayed in 3D and plan views.

3. The software has two main options either design of beams, columns, and footings for an ETABS model or analysis of RC section under various load cases including axial load and biaxial bending moment.

4. Most of features of spColumn are provided with either the ACI 318-2019 and the Egyptian code ECP 203-2020. 

5. 2D and 3D interaction diagrams can be plotted by importing an AutoCAD DXF for any shape of shear walls or cores. 

6. A 3D presentation of the building imported from ETABS is provided by the program including zooming and free rotations in the 3D space.

7. Demand/capacity ratio is calculated for all columns, beams, and isolated footings imported from the ETABS model using five different approaches.

8. Demand/capacity ratio is calculated for shear walls and cores using the pier forces from ETABS (in progress)

9. PDF files can be generated for the detailed calculations for analysis and design.

10. User's manual is provided to show step-by-step procedure of using the different features of the software.

11. The software background calculations are optimized using Genetic Algorithm to obtain the most efficient running time.

12. The Software supports two systems of units (kN, m and ton, m).

13. Features of quantity take-off of various concrete elements are included (in progress)

14. The program has the following quick tools (according to ECP 203-2020): 

    • Analysis of beams considering/neglecting cracking​

    • Analysis of eccentric sections considering/neglecting cracking​

    • Check of punching in flat slab

    • Estimating capacity of sections in flat slab

    • Estimating capacity of sections in raft

    • Analysis and design of RC isolated footing

    • Plotting response spectrum

    • Estimating base shear force

    • Deflection of beams and slabs (in progress)

    • Design of solid slabs (in progress)

15. Software features are validated using various examples.
