Reinforced Concrete Beam Design & Drawings
ConCrete is a
Concrete Beam Software
ConCrete is BuildSoft’s software for the design and detailing of reinforced concrete beams, covering continuous beams and two-phase sections according to Eurocode 2. It calculates internal
forces, deflection (accounting for cracking and creep), and reinforcement requirements from a single graphical input, then automatically generates practical reinforcement drawings (ConCrete Plus) and cutting lists (ConCrete List), so a beam design goes from model to buildable drawing without leaving the software.

ConCrete
ConCrete Plus
ConCrete List
ConCrete designs continuous beams in reinforced concrete.
ConCrete Plus creates automatically the reinforcement drawings for beams calculated with ConCrete or Diamonds.
ConCrete List generates the cutting list and summaries for beams from ConCrete Plus.
Superfast concrete beam design with ConCrete
Input
Within ConCrete’s user-friendly environment, you define model geometry, cross-sections, (elastic) supports and loads interactively. Through a few mouse clicks, you can easily change any design parameter. Instantly, all related analysis results (from internal forces up to reinforcement diagrams) will be updated automatically – maintaining full associativity between analysis data and results.
Analysis
ConCrete performs organic design calculations according to Eurocode 2. ConCrete instantly provides you with deformations (considering the effects of cracking and creep), internal forces, reinforcement requirements, … and presents all of this in clear graphs. Evaluation of minimal and optimal cross-sectional dimensions.
Reinforcement drawings and cutting lists
ConCrete Plus automatically translates the theoretical reinforcement requirements into a practical reinforcement drawings. User-definable reinforcement parameters are bar diameter, number of bars per layer, elimination priority, …
Automated creation of cutting lists in ConCrete List from the ConCrete Plus reinforcement drawings.

Probably the fastest concrete beam designer in the world
FAQ
What is ConCrete used for?
ConCrete is used to design and detail reinforced concrete beams, continuous beams and beams in two phases, calculating internal forces, deflection, and reinforcement requirements to Eurocode 2.
What’s the difference between ConCrete, ConCrete Plus, and ConCrete List?
ConCrete performs the structural design calculation. ConCrete Plus automatically converts the theoretical reinforcement into practical, buildable reinforcement drawings. ConCrete List generates the cutting lists and bar schedules from those ConCrete Plus drawings.
What design code does ConCrete support?
Reinforced concrete design to Eurocode 2.
Does ConCrete work with Diamonds?
Yes, ConCrete Plus can generate reinforcement drawings for beams calculated in either ConCrete or Diamonds.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, ConCrete offers a fully functional 30-day free trial covering all concrete features, no credit card required.
