ReWaRD 1.x

ReWaRD 1.0 was released in 1992 for the Windows 3.0 operating system. Implementing the requirements of CIRIA 104, ReWaRD 1.0 had a menu-driven user interface with graphical feedback provided via its "Job Window". Results were displayed in separate Earth Pressure and Bending Moment windows. Only one construction stage could be studied at any one time.

We are sorry to announce that upgrades from versions 1.0 & 1.5 are no longer available.

ReWaRD 2.0

ReWaRD 2.0 was released in 1997 for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 operating systems. Adding support for several UK and international design standards, ReWaRD 2.0 premiered the program's Stockyard/Workbook interface. An unlimited number of construction stages could be studied at the same time.

Existing users of ReWaRD 2.0 can upgrade to the latest version of ReWaRD at a discounted price.
