Egcobox® Software – Download Version 2.0

The Egcobox® software can be downloaded free of charge to calculate cantilever connection systems. The software includes the following features:

  • Selection of different languages and standards
  • Input of project data and details of your company
  • Choice of different standard geometries/loads with variable measurement
  • Input of geometry values and material grades.
  • Calculation of the cantilever and choice of the appropriate cantilever connection system
  • Input of internal forces and measurements
  • Sectional drawing and horizontal projection
  • Display of the results on screen and as a Word document

Information on modifications of the programme versions

Version 2.0
Date: 27.10.2009

Change(s):

  • The top view and the sectional drawing (incl. measurements) have been completely reworked.
  • New standards: Slowenia and Ukraine.
  • Discontinuous laying of the Egcoboxes is possible (load transmission at points).
  • New insulation material: Styrofoam.
  • Selection of elements for recessed loggia/veranda balcony: The cantilever is fixed by elements capable of bearing moments. The slab is supported sideways by shear force elements. The shear force elements create a higher 10 mm concrete cover (2nd layer), due to a collision of the reinforcement.
  • Selection of elements for internal corner cantilever balcony: The balcony slab is fixed by elements capable of bearing moments. Therefore the sideway facing elements in the corner create a higher 10 mm concrete cover (2nd layer), due to a collision of the reinforcement.
  • Switzerland: Preset horizontal load of the handrail: 0.8 kN/m according to SIA 260. In Germany and for all other standards, the horizontal load of the handrail is preset to 0.5 kN/m.
  • Switzerland: Preset height of the handrail: 1.20 m according to SIA 260. In Germany and for all other standards, the height of the handrail is preset to 1.00 m.
  • The project name is printed out in the structural analysis. Until now the field has been left blank.
  • Under some circumstances, an overflow occurred for the line load. Thus the line load was not included.
  • For the recessed loggia/veranda balcony, the bearing was not generated correctly. Therefore the internal forces have not been symmetrical. This has now been corrected.
  • The line load for internal cantilever balcony is carried out parallel to the joint (the line load has previously been parallel to the fixing furthest back).
  • For the Polish standard, the safety factors have been set to dead loads = 1.15 and live loads = 1.3. Therefore the values mEd and vEd from the design table are multiplied with the factor 0.9.
