TEDDS Eurocode software - first release

extensive collection of Eurocode calculations for concrete, steel, timber and masonry.

TEDDS is the perfect replacement for those tired spreadsheets still used by some Companies and loathing to update them for Eurocodes. TEDDS eases the Eurocode learning curve as the software tackles problems which cannot easily be carried out by manual methods. It is an excellent learning aid when designing to new and unfamiliar Eurocodes. Hand calcs are prone to error, mostly untidy, difficult to standardise, slow, and do not lend themselves to the repetitive nature of design.

If you're still a hands-on structural engineer - find out how to speed up the creation of your design calculations with TEDDS, which is now a standard design tool for engineers worldwide.

TEDDS will:

• save time
• repeat repetitive calculations simply
• reduce errors
• improve presentation
• gain competitive advantage

If you are an existing user of TEDDS with a valid annual maintenance contract please visit the TEDDS Update Service to download your first Eurocode calculation.

The first TEDDS^® Eurocode calculation is now available. RC Column Design [EN 1992-1] for designing braced and unbraced, slender and non-slender rectangular columns to EN 1992-1:2004 and the UK National Annex to Eurocode 2 is now obtainable from the Update Service.

The calculation will:

• check the capacity of the specified column against the specified axial load and end moments
• produce the interaction diagram about both axes for the specified column
• determine the design bending moments for the specified column, axial load, and end moments
• consider effects of biaxial bending
• column effective length may be input directly, calculated from end restraint factors; calculated from predetermined end rotational restraint flexibilities; or calculated from the adjoining beam/slab geometry in accordance with PD6687:2006 - "Background paper to the UK National Annexes to BS EN 1992-1."

• minimum cover for bond and fire resistance is determined automatically

The TEDDS Development Team has been working on Eurocodes for some time. As they become available new Eurocode calculations will be released via the TEDDS Update Service - look out for the imminent release of the RC Wall Design [EN 1992-1] calculation.

The TEDDS Engineering Library will continue to grow, ultimately creating an
