ABES Australia

KingBeam is a software development for FIELDERS to be utilised to promote their products in the Australian Market.
KingBeam has been developed in conjunction with MP Engineering and is a stand alone piece of software for the design of composite simply supported beams in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 2327.1.
All the input for this software is entered through a user friendly graphical interface. This includes all beam dimensions and the slab details. Through this interface the user steps through the various stages of input starting with the beam parameters then onto defining the loading conditions at the various stages of construction.
Once the user inputs are defined the software determines the required shear connection to design the beam under partial shear conditions. Through the graphical interface the user can investigate the applied moments, shears at any stage and print off the corresponding stresses, and deflections. The compliance with the standard in relation to maximum stresses and deflections are also checked.
As with all software developed by ABES, KingBeam has been designed as an easy tool to assist the designer and provide the client with software that meets the needs of the market.
