GT STRUDL provides the engineer with maximum flexibility of design. Design may be performed for beams, columns, one-way slabs including joist systems and two-way flat plate, and flat slab structures. Specified uniform floor loads or wind loads, plus dead loads, are distributed automatically to frame members.

GT STRUDL reinforced concrete design facilities are applicable to a wide variety of frame and slab structures. They may be used in conjunc- tion with GT STRUDL's analysis and data base management features, thus permitting the engi- neer to control the highly result dependent and iterative reinforced concrete analysis/ design/ display/ evaluation/ reanalysis/ redesign/ deci- sion-making process in any manner which is consistent with individual design office prac- tices.
GT STRUDL provides the engineer with maxi-
mum flexibility of design, and provides the engineer with one of the most comprehensive and powerful computer-aided engineering design tools for reinforced concrete structures available anywhere.
