Program Description

GaLa Reinforcement is a free program, developed as a part of Dr. Ilia Alashki Ph. D. thesis in 1997-2002. It is still one of the most powerful programs in the world for calculation of crack widths and cracked concrete stiffness degradation. The program supports non-linear creep, arbitrary cross section geometry, arbitrary reinforcement layout, axial load with double bending moments, etc.

Concrete Design Codes:

  • ACI 318-99, AASHTO LRFD 1997
  • Eurocode 2
  • BS 8110
  • CSA-A23. 3-94
  • BDS 1988, BDS HT 1989
  • NZS 3101-95
  • DIN 1045
  • UBC 97

Analysis Types:

  1. Design Section: The program calculates the necessary area of reinforcing bars.
  2. Check Section: The program checks the capacity of R/C cross-section with predefined reinforcement.
  3. Failure Surface: The program calculates and draws interaction failure surfaces of R/C cross-section with predefined reinforcement.
  4. Stress-strain: The program calculates the strains and stresses of R/C cross-section with predefined reinforcement.
  5. 1/r - EI: The program calculates the curvatures and stiffnesses of R/C cross-section with predefined reinforcement.
  6. 1/r - EI chart: The program calculates and draws the curvature and stiffness charts of R/C cross-section with predefined reinforcement.
  7. Crack widths: The program calculates the crack width and space between the cracks of R/C cross-section with predefined reinforcement.

I have a windows 10 version installed in my computer, and most of the programs in here are windows 7 version. How can i solve these issues because they are not working on windows 10 most software.

Does anyone know which Eurocode method the program utilizes? Nominal Stiffness, Nominal Curvature or the general method? I am already using the software, but I can't find this information.
