Column and Wall are the significant vertical structural members in a building structure. Column Reinforcement Design Tab can be loaded by selecting the "Columns"under the Design tab. Design settings of columns and walls are explained in detail in the following sections.
Design Tab After clicking the “Columns” option in the “Design” tab you will see a summary table in which all the columns and walls in the current project are listed for all storeys. The summary table can be manipulated as follows: To filter members ...
The nature of the design code requirements tend to dictate that punching shear checks cannot be safely & fully automated in batch runs. For this reason, ProtaStructure’s punching shear check is an interactive design tool, you need to use it carefully ...
Techniques for member creation and loading are described in this section. Also described here are those other modelling related functions contained on the “Member” pulldown. Additional modelling related topics can be found in the preceding Graphic ...
Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance – Part 3: Assessment and retrofitting of buildings (EN 1998-3:2005) is a fundamental reference for the seismic evaluation of existing buildings. It provides a structured methodology for ...
Having modeled your structure and defined the parameters/loading to be applied, you are now ready to generate the member design forces. These are determined by performing a 3D analysis of the whole building. The pre and post analysis stages, along ...
