This has been adapted for national and international codes.ĬYPECAD has numerous analysis options, with explanations and on screen graphs, to personalise the analysis, design and reinforcement by means of tables. Users can also define their own project situations to personalise the combinations that are going to be used in the corresponding analysis of the structural elements of the job. The positions of the truck are incompatible amongst one another but compatible with the generic live load and the remaining loadcases of a different nature. For example, the loadcase combination of a load composed of a generic live load and a the action of a truck load at various positions is generated automatically. The program automatically generates any loadcase combination defined by the user in accordance with the conditions that have been indicated (compatible, incompatible or simultaneous). There is no limit as to how many loadcases, line, surface or point loads can be applied and at which position. In both cases second order effects (P-delta) may be taken into account. Wind and earthquake (spectral mode analysis) loads are selected, by selecting the properties as described in the codes. More information on the foundations designed by CYPECAD and CYPE 3D can be found in the Foundation analysis and design section. The strap beams also act on the pile caps and the tie beams brace the elements.īase plate design is carried out for any steel column arrangement simple sections and composite sections). Hexagonal pile caps for six to seven pilesīoth the pad foundations and pile caps allow for several columns and shear walls to be placed on them without restraining their position on the foundation element.
Pentagonal pile caps for five to six piles Rectangular pile caps for multiple piles (grid distribution from three to thirty piles per side)
Strip pile caps for three to thirty piles Rectangular pile caps for one, two, four and five piles
Pile caps can hold a multiple number of piles. Isolated or combined pad foundations may be composed of reinforced concrete or mass concrete and may support multiple columns. The foundations may also be designed by having only introduced column starts. The foundation can be fixed (by pad foundations or pile caps) or ‘floating’ (with slabs on grade and foundation beams, having to define the subgrade modulus upon applying the Winkler theory). It is also possible to consult, in a three dimensional view, the displacements, forces and see the deformed shape of each span. The program calculates the stairs by finite elements, taking into account the usual two loadcases for the stair analysis: permanent loading and live loading.ĬYPECAD displays on screen the reinforcement of each of the spans making up the stairwell. Depending on the geometry, type and support arrangement and the applied gravitational loads, the program establishes the reactions on the main structure, which are applied as line and surface loads (in the case of steps built on the slab) in their corresponding permanent and live loadcases. More information can be found on the webpages:ĬYPECAD analyses and designs stair slab reinforcements as isolated elements of the structure. The case of generic load bearing walls and concrete block walls. The crown beam is also designed for all types of walls as is the intermediate beam at floor level in Additionally, it is possible to obtain a report of the checks that are carried out in the analysis on this reinforcement and can be viewed on screen or printed out. The program calculates the necessary additional reinforcement of the openings in the reinforced concrete walls (lintel, guardrail, lateral and diagonal) and the lintel reinforcement when The gaps are introduced in concrete block walls. Walls may or may not have lateral pressures and may be reinforced concrete, generic load bearing or concrete block walls with or without reinforcement (the dimensions of the blocks are introduced by the user or from manufacturer catalogues such as NORMABLOC National Association of Concrete Blocks and Masonry Manufacturers). Shear walls can be rectangular or adopt on plan any shape made up of rectangles. The program allows for reinforced concrete columns, steel columns and composite steel and concrete columns.
More information can be found on the Concrete beams webpage. The floor beams may be reinforced concrete, steel (normal or castellated), mixed and timber. The deflection is calculated in all cases.Īdditionally, it allows for flat and solid slabs, waffle slabs, hollow core slabs, and composite slabs (steel deck) to be used. Joist floor slabs can be composed of concrete (generic), precast reinforcement, precast prestressed, in situ, steel (T and double T sections), truss joists and timber.
