Prokon Concrete Continuous Beam
Analysis, Design, and Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Beams and Slabs
Prokon’s Concrete Continuous Beam Module offers precise analysis and design capabilities for single and multi-span reinforced concrete beams and slab strips. It automates load patterns, redistributes moments and shear, and generates bending schedules, giving engineers the accuracy and efficiency needed for safe, code-compliant design.
- Automate pattern loading for dead and live loads
- Support rectangular, T, L, I, and inverted T-shaped sections
- Calculate the redistribution of shear and moments
- Produce bending schedules for beams and slabs
- Include crack width calculations for serviceability checks
- Integrate with Sumo for advanced structural post-processing
Prokon’s Concrete Continuous Beam Module revolutionises the structural engineering workflow by addressing critical pain points and delivering substantial value to users:
Automate Calculations for Faster Design
Concrete Continuous Beam saves valuable time by automating load patterns, combining results, and generating bending schedules with accuracy and speed.
Ensure Safe, Code-Compliant Structural Results
Concrete Continuous Beam checks crack widths, deflections, and redistributions to deliver reliable, standards-compliant designs you can trust.
Simplify Multi-Span Beam and Slab Design
Easily design rectangular, T-shaped, inverted T, and tapered sections with accurate redistribution of loads across complex spans.

CONCRETE CONTINUOUS BEAM USE CASE
Challenge
An engineering consultancy was tasked with designing a continuous reinforced concrete beam system for a multi-storey commercial building. The project required accurate crack width checks, redistribution of loads, and detailed bending schedules across multiple spans.
Solution
Using Prokon Concrete Continuous Beam, the engineers defined rectangular and T-beam sections, applied the necessary load cases, and allowed the software to automatically redistribute moments and shear forces. The seamless integration with Sumo further simplified post-processing and verification within the overall frame analysis.
