An additional module “Expertise” analyses stresses and distribution of compression and tension zones for a given loads, section and reinforcement. Section and zone parameters calculation is based on section triangulation.

BIMware MASTER EC3 Steel Connections 2015 v6.0.1 [Size: 26 MB] ... BIMware MASTER EC3 Steel Connections is used to design and verify the capacity of typical connections used in steel structures. The verification of connections is conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the EUROCODE 3 (EN 1993-1-8, EN 1993-1-1) with a possibility to consider national annexes for the following countries United Kingdom, France, and Poland.

Calculation and verification of steel elements are based on defined geometrical data, parameters of fasteners and internal forces. Calculation results are presented as a calculation report which can be saved in an RTF or PDF format and then attached to to the project documentation.

BIMware MASTER EC5 Timber Connections 2014 v4.2.0.1 [Size: 23 MB] ... BIMware MASTER EC5 Timber Connections is designed for verification of load-carrying capacity of bolted splice connections for timber, wood-based and steel elements. Calculations are conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the EUROCODE 5 (EN 1995-1-1 standard). Analysis of the connection can be made for the full set of internal forces (N, V, M). Connected elements are pre-defined as rectangular cross-sections (single- or double-branched). Fastener arrangement can be defined as rectangular or shifted. Manual modification of default arrangement is also possible. Single or double shear fasteners can be used. Selection of connected element parameter values (cross-section geometry, material) and fastener parameters are both available from built-in databases or manual definition.

Connection types: Splice connection, timber-timber type + splice connection, steel-timber type + splice connection, panel-timber type + angled splice connection, timber-timber type + angled splice connection with a continuous base member, timber-timber type + frame-knee connection with fastener circular pattern, timber-timber type + truss-node, 3-elements, timber-timber type + truss-node, 4-elements, timber-timber type. Design & Analysis - key features: Calculations in accordance to the standard Eurocode 5 (EN 1995-1-1) + verification of geometry + capacity analysis of fasteners and connected elements. User Experience - advantages: Fast verification of timber connections + ease of use with an intuitive and clear interface + preview window enabling a continuous review of a selected connector + manual edition of fasteners’ arrangement + extensive material database: timber, steel elements and wood plates + extensive bolt database + user-defined databases + detailed verification note and quick validation of calculations + several language versions: Polish, English, French + documentation generation in a language different than an UI language.

Comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of reinforced concrete slabs-from leading authorities in the field. Offering an essential background for a thorough understanding of building code requirements and design procedures for slabs, Reinforced Concrete Slabs, Second Edition provides a full treatment of today's approaches to reinforced concrete slab analysis and design. Now brought up to date with a wealth of new material on computer optimization, the equivalent frame method, lateral load analysis, and other current topics, the new edition of this classic text begins with a general discussion of slab analysis and design, followed by an exploration of key methods (equivalent frame, direct design, and strip methods) and theories (elastic, lower bound, and yield line theories). Later chapters discuss other important issues, including shear strength, serviceability, membrane action, and fire resistance. Comprehensive and accessible, Reinforced Concrete Slabs, Second Edition appeals to a broad range of readers-from senior and graduate students in civil and architectural engineering to practicing structural engineers, architects, contractors, construction engineers, and consultants.

The "Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete" ("Code") provides minimum requirements for the materials, design, and detailing of structural concrete buildings and, where applicable, nonbuilding structures. This Code addresses structural systems, members, and connections, including cast-in-place, precast, plain, nonprestressed, prestressed, and composite construction. Among the subjects covered are: design and construction for strength, serviceability, and durability; load combinations, load factors, and strength reduction factors; structural analysis methods; deflection limits; mechanical and adhesive anchoring to concrete; development and splicing of reinforcement; construction document information; field inspection and testing; and methods to evaluate the strength of existing structures. "Building Code Requirements for Concrete Thin Shells" (ACI 318.2) is adopted by reference in this Code.The Code user will find that ACI 318-14 has been substantially reorganized and reformatted from previous editions. The principal objectives of this reorganization are to present all design and detailing requirements for structural systems or for individual members in chapters devoted to those individual subjects, and to arrange the chapters in a manner that generally follows the process and chronology of design and construction. Information and procedures that are common to the design of members are located in utility chapters.
