README FILE FOR COLDES V4

A number of different stress-strain relationships are available for computations. The default is the CEB-90 stress-strain curve. The earlier version of the CEB curve (CEB-73) and the rectangular stress block may not be used with values of f'c greater than 65MPa. The CEB-73 curve permits comparisons with earlier versions of Coldes and C&CAA Handbook data.

Coldes V4 can import data files generated by earlier versions of the program.

Please contact Engineering Systems immediately if you encounter any problem with Coldes.
