Optimize the costs and labour required for generating and managing slab-column connections for your projects and designs. Work with a collection of instruments for processing applications and configuring the functionality of selected elements according to your needs.
STDESIGN is the final version of the software that was previously available as BETA ,most of the changes were simply resolving issues that came up due to specific unusual geometry and load combinations. The main calculation subroutines are otherwise unchanged.
This is a complete upgrade from STDESIGN and contains the following significant changes (as well as many other upgrades:
· Update to ACI 318-05, which has identical Studrail design criteria as ACI 318-02.
· Update to ACI 421.1R-99, which allows the designer to create a more efficient Studrail design. These provisions have now been included in ACI 318-08.
· Update to CSA A23.3-04.
· Inclusion of the ductility design requirement of IBC 2003.
· Round columns can now be designed as round columns rather than by using an equivalent square column.
· We have adopted the gamma-v equations from Figure B2 of ACI 421.1R-99.
· Openings can be input either in the traditional manner (angles of lines from the column centroid and tangent to the openings) or by specifying the size and location of each opening.
· Inclusion of basic context-sensitive help.
· Real-time graphic showing the Studrail design as input fields are entered.
