RCDC CONNECT Edition by Bentley Systems, Incorporated is a specialized application for the design and detailing of reinforced concrete structures. It transforms structural analysis results into code-compliant member designs, construction drawings, and schedules, helping engineers and detailers deliver accurate documentation faster.
RCDC supports the design of columns, beams, slabs, shear walls, footings, and pile caps. It automates reinforcement calculation and layout, includes seismic/ductile detailing options, and offers optimization tools to balance safety, constructability, and material efficiency. The software imports models and analysis results from STAAD.Pro, RAM Structural System, and other widely used analysis tools to streamline workflows and reduce manual data transfer.
Engineers can generate transparent calculation reports, bar bending schedules, quantity takeoffs, and CAD-ready drawings with consistent bar marks and labeling. Interactive editing lets users review utilization, adjust rebar, and instantly regenerate drawings and checks. RCDC supports major international design codes, including ACI, Eurocode, Indian, and British standards, and allows customization of detailing rules to match firm-specific practices.
As part of Bentley’s CONNECT Edition, RCDC benefits from modern licensing and integration within Bentley’s project delivery ecosystem, enhancing collaboration and traceability across design and documentation. more
