The reinforced concrete calculator built into Scage allows you to perform a calculation for an isolated section outside the project.

• Cross-section type: rectangular, circular or T-shaped
• Selection of standard
• Material properties (concrete and steel)
• Definition of partial factors for materials
• Series of scenarios for performing independent calculations

In practical terms, it provides access to the intermediate results of the reinforced concrete calculation.

The results can be exported in PDF format.

• Flexible management of multiple scenarios to explore different solutions
• Graphs and tables exportable to the clipboard and to Excel
• Integrated data validation system
• Detailed user manual and scientific guide
• Detailed print report
• Option to work in the metric or imperial system

• Detailed verification module: enables the verification of a reinforcement cage for a set of internal force diagrams derived from a foundation or retaining structure equilibrium calculation (import of loads from Foxta, K-Réa or Excel). The calculation is performed phase by phase (ELU and ELS) for simple, composite or deviated bending.
• Simplified preliminary design module: this allows the diameter and required reinforcement ratio of piles to be determined for resisting one or more torsional forces, for an infinite number of piles. It also allows the maximum in-depth forces to be estimated based on the forces applied at the pile head for each combination/situation considered.

• Preliminary design study: this provides the required cross-sections for the longitudinal steel members at the ultimate limit state (ULS) and the ultimate limit state (ELS), as well as the required cross-sections for the transverse steel members at the ULS. The internal stresses in the diaphragm wall are treated as input data derived from a soil-structure interaction analysis (SSI analysis carried out, for example, using K-Réa), taking into account the construction phasing of the structure. The analysis is performed for each phase under simple or composite bending.
• Design or verification of a reinforcement cage: this involves verifying the adequacy of an actual reinforcement cage defined by each longitudinal steel bar and each small/large frame. The centre of gravity of the longitudinal steel bars is rigorously assessed based on the bars present at each level. The crack opening calculation is carried out at every level using the exact method.
