  1. Select the framing type for the beams to be added by clicking either the Gravity or Lateral option button.
  2. Type the concrete compressive strength, Unit Weight, Unit Weight for Self-weight and Poisson's Ratio in their respective edit boxes for the beams to be added.
  3. Select the concrete Aggregate type. If selecting Light Weight Concrete, enter an appropriate fct value.
  4. Select either to use a calculated Elastic Modulus or enter a user-defined value.
  5. Type the reinforcement yield strength for Longitudinal and Shear reinforcement.
