The phrase "ATIR STRAP and BEAMD with crack new" refers to using ATIR Engineering Software's advanced structural analysis tools—STRAP and BEAMD—to model, analyze, and address cracking in structural beams and strap footings. In modern structural engineering, managing cracked sections is critical for both the design of new buildings and the forensic analysis of existing structures. Understanding the Software Suite

In these cases, an engineered solution such as a steel flitch plate sistered to the beam with new strap anchors is required.

1.1 Typical Applications of ATIR Straps

  • Seismic retrofits: Connecting floor diaphragms to foundation beams.
  • Roof-to-wall ties: Preventing roof detachment during high winds.
  • Continuous load paths: Transferring tension forces from a beam down to a column or footing.

BEAMD: A fully integrated solution specifically for the design, detailing, and drafting of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. It automates the creation of reinforcement schedules and detailed drawings. Key Features and Capabilities

If the analysis identifies critical cracks in an existing structure, several "new" or advanced repair techniques are typically employed to restore integrity:
