Concrete can withstand ten times bigger stress in compression than in tension – that is something every structural engineer gets to know quite early on during their university studies. But it is a little later when they realize what this
This video shows you how to create and analyse a beam-to-column connection using an end plate with gussets and channel sections (PFC) as bracings. Watch the video
Composite concrete beams made of prefabricated prestressed or non-prestressed elements and cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab became very popular in contemporary civil engineering practice. And, we often face the question if it is possible to analyze such structures in IDEA StatiCa
IDEA StatiCa Connection is an easy-to-use tool. It takes approx. 30 minutes to estimate its potential and a couple of hours to learn the basics. But what if you get an error message? Do you know, how to repair your
Bulk selection & export from CAD and FEA software It has been very well-known for years now that our BIM links can save your design time, so you do not have to model your steel connections from scratch or apply
Designing a steel connection according to the code is a must. But I believe you can count on your fingers projects where costs did not matter. And if not for the designer, then for the fabricator for sure. So, wouldn’t
An advanced approach to seismic code-check of steel connections About half of the buildings designed and constructed in North America have some seismic design requirements. The seismic design has evolved – engineers now face terms like capacity design, dissipative item,
Find out some tips and tricks on how IDEA StatiCa can help you with the quick and effective anchoring design of steel footing according to the code. Designing steel-to-concrete connections is a key, safety-critical task on many construction projects. Based
Connection design has been one of the biggest challenges of steel projects for structural engineers and detailers, worldwide. That is of no surprise but we decided to dig a little bit deeper and put some numbers on the table. We’ve
5 reason why you should to IDEA StatiCa Connection design software. Migrating from the software you’ve been using for years is always challenging, despite the obvious advantages and future potential. At the same time, if you want to continue to
