MasterBeam: Concrete Continuous Beam Designer
Interactive analysis, design & detailing of simple, cantilever & continuous Concrete Beams to BS 8110, Eurocode 2 or SABS 0100.
Standalone module, requiring no other MasterSeries modules
MasterBeam: Concrete Continuous Beam Designer is specialist structural software providing analysis, design, detailing and scheduling of concrete continuous beams.
The degree of integration, simplicity of input and speed of design make MasterBeam: Concrete Continuous Beam Designer the ideal software tool for the infrequent user.
The truly interactive nature of MasterBeam: Concrete Continuous Beam Designer also makes it the ideal software tool for teaching Structural Engineering.

MasterSeries has 3 different Modules for concrete beam design as follows:
- MasterBeam: Concrete Single Beam Designer Free Version - Simple 1 span beams
- MasterBeam: Concrete Continuous Beam Designer - Simple 1 to 16 span continuous beams and sub Frames
- MasterKey: Concrete Beam Design - Requires MasterFrame & Designs concrete beams in any 2D or 3D MasterFrame structure
MasterBeam Concrete Continuous Beam Designer is designed as a complementary, alternative, software tool to using the full power of MasterFrame and MasterKey Concrete to design simple continuous beams and sub frames.

Designing complex masonry constructions with MasterSeries [Webinar]
Date and Time of Webinar Thu, 25th April 2024 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM BST
Masonry construction still holds significant importance in the building industry because of its durability, versatility, and cultural significance. However, the design of masonry wall panels is still often based on rule-of-thumb methods or conservative standards. Although modern design methods, significant savings could be made in the form of money and materials.
