IDEAStatiCaConcrete


Modern construction industry is built on concrete – bridges, shopping malls, residential units, offshore structures,

and infrastructure and energy systems. Therefore engineers have to deal with it. Structural analysis and design

of these structures is a challenging task, both because of the natural complexity of the subject and because

of the regulation an engineer has to comply with. In such an environment, engineers are poised to work quicker,

more accurate and more reliably than ever before. IDEA StatiCa Concrete provides them set of tools for that

and respect to that is:

Key features of IDEA StatiCa Concrete




Benefits for engineers

Distinctive features of IDEA StatiCa are completeness, comprehensibleness. Design methods fully comply with complex Eurocode

and SIA code requirements. At the same time the solution is easy to use and effective for daily needs of industry professionals.

Fast and simple input is done with help of specialized wizard. Economy of the design is secured by optimizing the amount

of reinforcement. The program is therefore specifically targeted, simple, and fast tool with correct and complete solution.

IDEA StatiCa software zooms in on the design of component parts of a structure – beams, columns, frames, cross-sections and details.

Range of application

The program is suitable for a wide range of reinforced concrete structures.

Prefabricated beams

with various CSS

Bridge piers, columns, prestressed

trusses and frames

Cast-in-place beams, slabs

and columns

Liquid retaining and containment

structures

Residential buildings, shopping malls, building renovation

Bridges, civil and industrial buildings

Member and sectional design

Fast and optimized design

of reinforcement




Design of members, cross-sections and details...

Correctness of structural model – the quality of being true – depends neither on the potential to input any complicated

geometry nor on its spectacular presentation. These conditions are essential, but not sufficient. Member design in complex

3D models is usually a bit messy, slow and it can be on unsafe side!

Less might sometimes be more, and simple model can be more correct than complex one, as we can show on small example.

Columns in first floor are supported by long span girder. The problem is to determine the force in the internal column above

the girder.

Structural models for member design differ from complex 3D models used for overall structural analysis.

Neither 3D model nor „complete“ 2D model provide realistic action on girder. The dimensions and the reinforcement of girder

and column would be underestimated in this case. The reasons are:

• The models do not respect construction stages.

The columns hang up on the slabs of top floors

in complex model, which is not possible.

• Linear elastic model does not reflect the weakening

of the slabs due to the cracks. Non-linear model would

be too complex and expensive to be used in everyday

practice.

Simplified 2D model without first floor gives upper-bound value of the action on girder.

Correct model for girder design therefore is simple one-floor frame loaded by these actions.

IDEA StatiCa Concrete is an effective tool for design of members, cross-sections and details.

IDEA StatiCa RCS

Key value of IDEA StatiCa Concrete is our standalone module RCS for the design of plain, reinforced, prestressed

and composite concrete cross-sections – a result of our long-term experience in the area of reinforced concrete design.

RCS stands for completeness and comprehensiveness of the assessment of cross-sections, transparency of assumptions

and results, and also acts as a perfect guide to Eurocode. Cross-section can be loaded by internal forces imported

from other IDEA StatiCa modules or transferred from various FEA programs by IDEA StatiCa BIM.

Design of necessary reinforcement

RCS enables fast and precise design of the reinforcement necessary to comply with ULS and SLS conditions, specifically

the requirements for strength in flexure, shear, torsion, interaction and the limitations for crack width.

The design is not limited to necessary areas. Number and

diameter of reinforcement bars are calculated in real-time

when selecting reinforcement template.

The amount of shear and longitudinal reinforcement is optimized

for all allowable angles of concrete strut so that the weight

of the sum of both types of the reinforcement is minimized.

Corresponding force in longitudinal reinforcement is respected

in the design.

The weight of shear and longitudinal reinforcement is optimized the economy is improved Real bars are designed the link up to drawings is improved

Optimization of angle θ

Optimization of angle is used for the check of strength in shear, torsion and the interaction of all internal

forces. The goal is to find such angle, which enables optimum use of all materials in the cross-section –

concrete in compression diagonal, shear reinforcement (stirrups and bent-up bars) and longitudinal

reinforcement. Final goal is to improve the economy of the design, compared to common approach,

when the user specifies the angle directly.

M-N-rotation diagram

M-N-rotation diagram can be used for the calculation of properties of plastic hinges e.g. for Pushover Method.




Design of 2D members

Section types

• Two-way slab – flexural effects in two directions

• Wall – membrane forces

• Deep beam – membrane forces

• In-plane loaded slab – membrane and flexure force components

• Out-of-plane loaded wall – membrane and flexure force components

Slab/wall can be reinforced by two layers

of the reinforcement by both surfaces and

the reinforcement bars can be placed arbitrarily.

The checks are performed in user defined

direction, or principal stress direction calculated

for both surfaces and directions perpendicular

to calculated directions, or calculated direction

of concrete compressive strut. The direction

of concrete compressive strut is optimized

for maximum utilization of concrete compressive

strength.

Liquid retaining and containment structures

IDEA StatiCa RCS provides the calculation of crack width for one-way

and two-way slabs of liquid retaining and containment structures

according to EN 1992-3.

• Classification of tightness

• Check of depth of compression zone

Slab on trapezoidal steel sheet

Trapezoidal steel sheets are frequently used as simple permanent

shuttering floor systems, especially in building renovation, eventually

in industrial buildings. Slabs on trapezoidal steel sheets are usually

continuous, therefore in the section above the support it is necessary

to resist negative bending moments by additional bars.

FEA programs

CAD programs

IDEA StatiCa BIM

Transferring of data between different programs can be very time consuming process. IDEA StatiCa BIM reduces that work

to minimum and provides easy import of structure geometry, internal forces of all load cases, combinations and construction

stages from Midas Civil a GEN, AxisVM, Scia Engineer, RFEM, Esa Prima Win, Robot and others. So IDEA StatiCa design

modules work with results calculated by other FEA programs directly.

IDEA StatiCa provides export of all drawings into DXF. This feature can save a lot of engineer’s time during manufacturing

drawings preparation.

• Interface for data import from external FEA programs

and working with their data model

• 1D and 2D members – beams, columns, slabs, walls

• Assigning members into design groups

• Check of structures from different materials

• Updating model back to FEA program after proper

designing of members

• Updating designed members after change in FEA program
