Design code facilities
Two software options
allow for design checking of members in steel and reinforced concrete
frames.
|
Steel Frame
Design
The Steel Frame Design
software option provides full details of all calculations made,
referencing all relevant clauses and equations from a design code, and
gives a step-by-step calculation transparency normally only found in
simple frame analysis software.
- View results as
Utilisation ratios on the model, or as a tabular summary for selected
members and loadcases.
- Add results to a
model report and see them automatically updated each time a report
is generated to match the current state of the model.
Design
codes supported include:
- AASHTO
LRFD 7th Edition (2014)
- AASHTO
LRFD 8th Edition (2017)
- ANSI
/ AISC-360 (2016)

Produce
a tabular summary of design check results for selected
members and loadcases. Save results for use with Microsoft
Excel or other formats. Add results to a model report.
Generate
formatted design report to
investigate the design calculations carried out for particular
members, showing the
calculations made and referencing clauses and equations from the code.
Add formatted design reports to a
model report.

RC Frame Design
Use the RC
Frame Design software option to
carry out checking
of reinforced concrete members subject to bending and axial force at
Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability limit states (SLS).
Regular, arbitrary shaped, tapering and voided members are
supported.
- View results
as Utilisation ratios on the model, or as a tabular summary that
allows drilling-down into detailed results and creation of
interaction diagrams for selected members and locations.
- Add results to
a model report and see them automatically updated each time a
report is generated to match the current state of the model.
Design codes currently
supported:
- AASHTO LRFD 8th Edition
(2017)
- AS5100.5:2017
- CSA S6-14
- EN1992-1:2004
- EN1992-2:2005
- IRC:112-2011
with more being added
with each release.

RC slab
/ wall design
Use the RC slab
/ wall design facility to analyse reinforced concrete slabs and walls,
without prestressing, modelled using plate or shell elements. Obtain
contour plots and values that indicate flexural reinforcement requirements
at Ultimate Limit State (ULS), and calculate design crack widths at
Serviceability Limit State (SLS) for those design codes that support this. Codes currently
supported include:
- AASHTO LRFD 7th, 6th, 5th
Editions
- AS5100-5-2004, AS3600-2009
- BS5400-4, BS8007:1987,
BS8110-1:1997 & BS8110-2:1985, BS EN1992-2:2005/NA:2007, BS EN
1992-1-1:2004/NA:2005
- CAN/CSA S6-06, S6.1-06
- Eurocode EN1992-1-1 and
EN1992-2
- GB
50010-2010
- IRC: 112-2011, IRS: CBC-1997
- SS CP65: Part 1 and 2: 1999,
SS EN1992-1-1/NA 2008 Amd 1.
