ATIR STRAP and BEAMD 2024 and 15.0 have introduced several significant features aimed at improving structural analysis, design automation, and user interface efficiency.
: Atir straps, often part of a prefabricated or pre-engineered system, are used in construction to provide additional structural support. They are typically made from steel and are integrated into floor or roof systems. Their primary function is to resist tensile forces, thereby enhancing the structural integrity of the building.
Assessment of a cracked reinforced concrete beam: Case study

The search term captures an emerging best practice in structural repair: using high-performance steel strapping to transform a cracked, distressed beam into a component that performs like new construction. Whether addressing shear cracks, flexural failures, or impact damage, ATIR-style straps offer a ductile, fire-safe, and cost-effective alternative to CFRP or heavy steel plating.
