S-LINE is used to code check and design continuous reinforced concrete beams with one or multiple bays having unique sizes, rebar layouts, materials, loading, support, etc. The intuitive S-LINE user interface is built for efficiency and ease of use. This short tutorial explains how to configure the beam model in S-LINE. Topics covered include:

  • where to find example files and help resources
  • design code options
  • configuring the number of bays
  • rebar types
  • unit systems
  • member configurations for different bays
  • reinforcement styles for top and bottom bars - longitudinal and stirrups
  • cross-section views
