CAST - Strut and Ties

CAST is software for analyzing concrete structures using strut-and-tie modeling. It can analyze both simple continuity regions using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and more complex discontinuity regions using strut-and-tie theory. The strut-and-tie theory models concrete structures using compression struts, tension ties, and nodes and is referenced in Eurocode standards and publications from ACI International and The Concrete Centre.
