R-BETA software suite (R-BETA, BETA 4.2+)

The R-BETA software suite is designed for the calculation of reinforced concrete elements according to the design standards of Belarus, Russia, and the European Union, as well as for statistical modeling and reliability analysis of reinforced concrete elements at the stages of production, operation, and reconstruction.

Note 1: 

The R-BETA software suite includes the BETA 4.2+ program.

 

Note 2: 

The R-BETA software performs calculations in accordance with the standards SNB 5.03.01-02, meeting the requirements for nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures conducted using the statistical modeling method in compliance with ISO 2394 and EN 1990.

 

Note 3: 

The R-BETA software utilizes the George Marsaglia's pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) algorithm, as well as approximations of the Student's t-distribution and chi-squared (х2) distribution with an error not exceeding 1e-10 for sample sizes up to 1000 specimens.

 

Functions of the R-BETA software complex:

1. Generating a cross-section normal to the longitudinal axis of a reinforced concrete element (materials, geometry) based on survey results:

  • Concrete strength
  • Tensile zone reinforcement strength
  • Compressive zone reinforcement strength
  • Tensile zone reinforcement diameter
  • Compressive zone reinforcement diameter
  • Tensile zone reinforcement concrete cover
  • Compressive zone reinforcement concrete cover

2. Assigning loads from external actions and their coefficient of variation.

Key Advantages:

  • The software enables assessment of the actual condition of a reinforced concrete structure based on survey results or design data.
  • The software performs verification calculations for structures designed according to previously applicable standards and based on strength characteristics obtained experimentally.
