spColumn Tool
ESCE software has a powerful tool called "spColumn Tool" which includes an interface consistent with that of the spColumn software that can be accessed here.
spColum Tool has the ability to plot 2D and 3D interaction diagrams of a reinforced concrete section (beam, column, shear wall, or core) using either ACI 318 or ECP 203 codes. Different steel configuration options are available in the spColumn tool.
spColumn Tool plots the points of applied straining actions cases on the interaction diagrams to check their structural safety. Capacity/Demand ratio is calculated for each straining action load case.
Step 1: Select "spColumn" tool, insert material properties, specify sectional dimensions, specify reinforcement, and insert straining actions load cases
