pst-stru is a PSTricks package to draw structural schemes in civil engineering analysis (beams, portals, archs, piles). It can be used either with TeX or LaTeX.
You can download the files here.
I would highly appreciate any comments and/or suggestions that could improve pst-stru. Do not hesitate to contact me. If you have any ideas to deal automatically with any shape of structures, tell me something!
Some examples are available
in the following links:
An interesting performance of Pst-stru is shown in the field of
Parameterized Structures. Enjoy
TeX/LaTeX, PSTricks and pst-stru!

What does this mean?
Simply that stress diagrams, mainly Bending Moments
and Shears, are drawn in the screen in function of some parameters
like the beams length (l), their ratio (k), the position (x) of a
movable load P and so on.
In other words this section provides figures similar to the ones shown in Civil
Engineering Manuals; ready to be used in Tex/LaTeX.
