This guide covers how to manage beam and slab cracking within (STRuctural Analysis Program) and its design modules like , developed by ATIR Engineering
Go to the reinforcement editing menu and increase the number or diameter of the bottom/top bars at the high-moment locations indicated by your analysis.

The process of fixing cracks with Atir Strap and Beam is a meticulous one, requiring attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the system. Here's a step-by-step overview:
After repair, monitor the crack to ensure it does not reopen, which could indicate an ongoing structural issue.
Through AutoSTRAP , structural engineers can ingest IFC files from BIM applications or DXF vectors from CAD platforms to automatically synthesize clean analytical finite element meshes. ATIR BeamD (Concrete Post-Processor & Detailing)
If your beam has a total depth exceeding
The Atir Strap and Beam system offers numerous benefits to builders, architects, and engineers, including:
: Use the "Crack Width" option (available for shell elements and beams in specific modules) to verify if the reinforcement is sufficient to control cracking. Adjust Reinforcement
Apply a corrosion-resistant coating (cold galvanizing spray) over the strap and anchor heads. If this is a visible beam in a home, you can box it in with drywall, but leave an inspection hole.
