SmartBar combines reinforcement drawings, a 3D cage view and provisional rule checks in the browser. It exports bending schedules and drawing files for evaluation. Rule-pack constants and reference cases await technical validation.

What it does

  • Detail columns, beams, piles, slabs and straight-flight stairs
  • Evaluate provisional rule packs for BAEL 91-99, Eurocode 2 and complementary RPS 2011 seismic rules
  • Export bending schedules, DXF drawings and PDF sheets

Technical details

  • Check states — Three states identify blocking issues, warnings and checks passed under the selected rule pack. A passed check does not certify the design.

    provisional

  • Supported rule packs — BAEL 91-99, Eurocode 2 and complementary Moroccan RPS 2011 seismic rules. Coverage is limited to the checks implemented in each pack.

    provisional

  • Reinforcement geometry — Detail bars, hooks, stirrups, laps and couplers for the supported element types. Review geometry and schedules against project and fabrication requirements.

    implemented

  • Drawings and bending schedules — Export cut lengths, weights, DXF drawings and PDF sheets. Save and reopen projects as JSON files.

    implemented

  • Browser computation — Calculations run locally in your browser; no account is required.

Limitations

Current limitations and evaluation requirements.

  • Available for evaluation only; not for construction use. Rule-pack constants and reference cases await technical validation.
  • A passed check covers only the implemented provisional rules. It does not replace review by a structural engineer.
