The JORDAHL^® EXPERT punching shear reinforcement JDA is used to design flat slabs, ground slabs, precast slabs and footings.

The basis for the program is the European Technical Approval ETA-13/0136 based on the Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1).

Settings:

• split standard elements
• piece-wise standard elements
• optimised separated elements
• continuous standard elements

Type of support:

• inner, edge and corner supports
• ends of walls and inner corners
• of walls

 
Earthquake:
The minimum degree of reinforcement for transverse forces is calculated in accordance with DIN 4149, and a detailed and easy to follow proof is provided.

Recesses:

• the eff ectiveness of the recess is checked automatically
• recesses can be easily inserted or moved at the click of a mouse
• the program automatically detects overlapping recesses
• manual entry of lengths to be subtracted for round cut
• direct correction of measured values within the drawing
• the locations of the opening are included on the printout of the recesses

Result:
The presentation of the punching shear area in the plan view and the cross-sectional view provides an immediate overview of the arrangement of the JDA elements.

Advantages:

• verifiable printout of result
• interim results, fi nal results and proofs can be followed and understood very easily (punching shear, earthquake and bond proof)
• graphic result can be transmitted as *.DXF data file or *.DWG data file.
