ASDIP CONCRETE contains a COLUMN DESIGN module. Now structural engineers can work cost-effectively to design circular or rectangular concrete columns based upon a combination of biaxial bending moments and axial loading. All software calculations are based upon ACI design criteria and Ultimate Strength Design Method. This structural engineering software calculates magnified moments due to slenderness and generates capacity axial-moment interaction diagram.
Input: The required input data is organized on tabbed pages. The column cross-section may be rectangular or circular. The slenderness condition is considered by specifying the effective member length and if the column is sway or non-sway. This structural engineering software utilizes either the actual parabolic concrete stress-strain curve or the simplified equivalent rectangular one. The steel may consider strain hardening region. The loads may be modeled as part of the dead, live, roof live, snow, wind, and seismic load cases. If necessary, the moments are internally magnified and the program combines the loads per specified load combinations.
Output: The output results are organized on tabbed pages. This structural engineering software calculates magnified moments and axial loads for all the specified load combinations. The 3D capacity interaction diagram is accurately calculated based on the geometry and reinforcement for biaxial columns. The moment magnification process is detailed and reported for a granular check of the design. The values that fail the design criteria are highlighted in red for easy to identify.
Concrete Beam Design: Beams are structural elements that support loads applied transversely, and therefore they mostly resist bending moments, as well as shear forces. Concrete beams are usually continuous, this is, they span between several supports. A common example of a T-beam occurs at the interior bay of a building floor, where a portion of the slab acts together with the projecting beam web. A beam at the border of the floor is called a spandrel beam. The program performs the design of a multi-span rectangular, T, or inverted-T concrete beam when subjected to a combination of bending and shear loading, based on the latest ACI design criteria and the Ultimate Strength Design Method. Multiple options are included to model the beam geometry and loads, as well as the reinforcing steel.
Input: The required input data is organized on tabbed pages at the left half of the screen. The beam cross section may be either rectangular, T, spandrel, inverted-T, or L. A maximum of five spans may be modeled and two cantilevers. The end supports may be either pinned or fixed. This structural engineering software uses either the actual parabolic concrete stress-strain curve, or the simplified equivalent rectangular one. The steel considers the strain hardening region. Distributed and concentrated loads may be modeled as part of the dead, live, roof live, and snow load cases. The program internally combines the applied loads per the specified load combinations.
Output: The output results are organized on tabbed pages. This structural engineering software calculates moments and shears along the beam for all the specified load combinations. The capacity is accurately calculated based upon geometry and reinforcement considering the moment gradient due to the development length of all the reinforcing bars. This structural engineering software allows to show the beam per span number and per load combination, for a granular check of the whole design process. The construction graph shows a scaled sketch of the beam elevation with information of the reinforcement.
Concrete Bearing Wall Design: Bearing walls are structural compression members which also may resist out-of-plane lateral loads. The resulting moments are referred to as weak-axis bending. A tilt-up wall panel exposed to wind is an example of this type of wall. Per ACI, bearing walls may be designed as compression members using the strength design provisions for flexure and axial loads, like columns. Any wall may be designed by this method and no minimum wall thicknesses are prescribed. As with columns, the design of walls is difficult without the use of design aids. Wall design is further complicated by the fact that slenderness is a consideration in practically all cases. The ACI Moment Magnification method is generally used to account for the slenderness effects. This structural engineering software performs design of concrete bearing wall when subjected to a combination of weak-axis bending moments and axial loading. All calculations are based upon the latest ACI design criteria and the Ultimate Strength Design Method. This structural engineering software calculates magnified moments due to slenderness and generates the capacity axial-moment interaction diagram. A multi-story wall may also be modeled.
Input: The required input data is organized on tabbed pages. The wall section is rectangular with either one or two curtains of reinforcement. A parapet may be specified or the wall may be continuous at top. In this latter case, the load from the upper floor is accounted for by setting the uniform load eccentricity as zero. This structural engineering software uses the actual parabolic concrete stress-strain curve rather than the simplified equivalent rectangular one. The steel considers the strain hardening region. The loads may be modeled as part of the dead, live, roof live, snow, and wind load cases. The moments are internally magnified and the program combines the loads per the specified load combinations.
Output: The output results are organized on tabbed pages. This structural engineering software calculates magnified moments and axial loads for all the specified load combinations. The capacity interaction diagram is accurately calculated based on the geometry and reinforcement. The moment magnification process is detailed and reported for a granular check of the design. The values that fail the design criteria are highlighted in red for easy to identify.
GEO5 Finite Element Method Analysis [Size: 48 MB] ... The FEM software program allows solution of general geotechnical tasks using the Finite Element Method. The modeling capabilities include the analysis of underground structures, tunnels and dams in addition to stability and water flow analysis. Adopting the Finite Element Method not only gives the user a broader insight into the analyzed structures, it provides verification of the results from classical methods. Application of the Finite Element Method in structural analysis is substantially more demanding in comparison to modeling approaches based on analytical methods. However, the modules contain a number of features (topology corrector, finite element mesh generator) which considerably simplify preparation of the computational model. The analysis provides information about the deformed shape of structures, distribution of stresses and location of plastic zones inside the soil body, internal forces developed in beams, anchors and geo-reinforcements. Performing stability analysis then considerably extends the knowledge acquired from the application of classical methods. The FEM-Tunnel module serves to analyze underground structures, including tunnels constructed using the New Austrian Tunneling Method. An important feature is a built-in generator of lining, which can be placed anywhere in the soil body. Creating the computational model including the finite element mesh is fully automatic. This module also accounts for various non-mechanical actions such thermal loading, technological shrinkage, swelling of soils and also the definition of anchored regions. The FEM-Water Flow module determines, depending on water flow boundary conditions, the ground water table, distribution of pore water pressures, flow velocities and overall inflow/outflow. The results of water flow (seepage) analysis may be automatically introduced into the structural analysis including stability simulations. The FEM - Consolidation module is used to perform time dependent settlement analysis under foundations, embankments and surface loads (surcharges).
