Description: StructurePoint, formerly the PCA Engineering Software Group, offers concrete design software programs updated to ACI 318-08 for concrete buildings, concrete structures and concrete tanks. Reinforced concrete structural software includes programs for column design (pcaColumn), beam design (pcaBeam), slab design (pcaSlab), wall design (pcaWall), mat design (pcaMats), foundation design, tank design, slab-on-grade design and frame analysis (pcaFrame).

ADOSS (currently spSlab v5.00) is a PCA/StructurePoint software program for the Analysis and Design Of Slab Systems in reinforced concrete structures. Using the Equivalent Frame Method in ACI-318, an equivalent two-dimensional interior or exterior frame of up to 14 spans can be analyzed and designed for shear, flexure, and torsion.
ADOSS is written for the Microsoft Windows environment (version 3.0 or higher). It has a graphical interface that uses pull-down menus, dialog boxes, and icons to simplify the data input and clearly present the output.
ADOSS analyzes the input floor system and outputs the shear and moment at all critical sections. Punching shear is also checked and cracked-section deflections and material quantity take-offs are computed. In addition to the required area of reinforcing steel at the critical sections, a complete bar schedule that includes number of bars and bar sizes and lengths is provided.
