How to Model Your Solar Mounting Structures
Solar energy is growing source of renewable power. Engineers need to examine different options for their solar energy installations based on a variety of factors.
Análisis sísmico utilizando STAAD.Pro Connect Edition
STAAD.Pro es una herramienta utilizada para el análisis y diseño de las estructuras de todo tipo alrededor del mundo. Esta herramienta es utilizada por muchos ingenieros en diferentes proyectos, enfrentándose a diferentes factores dependiendo a la región donde el proyecto se ha llevado a cabo. Estos factores pueden ser: el clima, tipo de suelo, nivel de seguridad estructural requerido para la edificación y otros componentes que hacen diferente el diseño de cada proyecto. STAAD.Pro ayuda generando una simulación con las geometrías y materiales de la estructura para la toma de decisión del proyecto con la finalidad de que este sea eficiente.
Bentley iTwin for Structural Engineers
Bentley Systems iTwin Services, which are now integrated with the STAAD and RAM products, offer the solution.
Fluid Retaining Structure Design Using STAAD.Pro Advanced
Over the years since STAAD first made an appearance as a general structural analysis and design tool, it has provided more benefits for structural engineers working on structural steel-framed structures.
Concrete Design Workflow for Slabs and Foundations Using STAAD.Pro
STAAD.Pro is generally associated with the analysis and design of steel structures. However, add-on components that are available with the program make it an efficient and powerful tool for concrete design also. Tools such as STAAD Foundation Advanced, and RCDC – FE give engineers the means needed to design and detail concrete structures. In many design offices, slabs and foundations are either: Included as part of the superstructure model and thus analyzed along with the beams and columns, or Modeled as an independent local structure for analysis and design using the Finite Element Method (FEM) In this article, we focus on the capabilities of various tools for handling these “planar” elements, namely, floor slabs and foundations, using STAAD.Pro, RCDC – FE, and STAAD Foundation Advanced. This article focuses on the following topics: Typical workflow for slabs and foundations Analysis considerations for concrete slabs and foundations Discussion on main design requirements Discussion on rebar detailing Generation of reports and drawings Choice of Software for Slabs and Foundations Two of the options available to STAAD.Pro users looking to design floor slabs and mat foundations are: Structural Element STAAD Foundation Advanced RCDC – FE Floor Slabs Cannot Handle See “Workflow for Design and Detailing Floor
Concrete Component Design Using STAAD.Pro
STAAD.Pro structural analysis and design software from Bentley has been widely used for designing steel and concrete structures by engineers across the globe for decades.
Spectrum Compatible Time History in STAAD.Pro
No one likes to have very low pressure at their home or business, and low pressure is one of the most common complaints water systems get from their customers. There are several reasons for low pressure, and identifying the reason is essential in order to correct the problem. Simulating low pressure in your hydraulic model can identify/confirm the cause of the problem and point you to the right solution. Run the model and see how it compares to what is reported from the field. Once you can simulate the problem, you are well on your way to correcting it.
Shrinkage Restraint and Long-term Deflections in RAM Concept
Internal shrinkage restraint is associated with sources within the concrete floor surfaces. For a typical concrete design section, the bonded reinforcement is the primary source of internal shrinkage restraint.
Concrete Design Workflows in RAM Structural System
RAM Structural System offers a complete solution for the analysis, design, and documentation of concrete and steel building structures. It includes many time-saving features designed specifically for the analysis and design of buildings that are not available in many general-purpose finite element analysis applications.
