Steel Design
- Design wide-flange, angles, channels, tubes and
pipes as per AISC ASD 9th Edition.
- Input parameters such as sidesway, unbraced length
of top/bottom compression flanges, slenderness factors,
etc.
- Automatic link from analysis engine calculates critical
load case and section.
- Verify simple problems by inputting maximum forces
and reactions yourself if you are not using the analysis
engine.
- Output includes complete code check, member selection,
allowable and actual stresses, critical section and
governing clause, etc.

Base Plate Analysis
- Apply axial loads, biaxial bending and shear loads
in two directions.
- Considers Loading due to erection and Loading due
to Anchor Bolt Prestress as required by code and construction
considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete that
will reduce the prestress effect.
- Designs for uplifting loads.
- Considers W, S, M, HP, tube, pipe and user-defined
column cross sections.
|
 |
- Designs base plate with clip angles, stiffeners
and brackets.
- Analysis can be done assuming a rigid plate or using
Finite Element Analysis Method (FEM), considering
the actual oversize holes and square washers for anchor
bolts and the actual connection between column and
base-plate.
- Calculates the capacity and buckling for stiffener
plates and angles and the connection among column,
stiffener and base-plate.
- Full anchor bolt design performed including:
Checks the requirements for minimum embedded length
and minimum embedded edge distance.
Checks the requirements for clear spacing between
column and bolts and between stiffener and bolts.
Calculates the pulling capacity of anchor bolts.
- Checks the Shear Loading and Designs for Shear Lugs
if require.

Moment Connections
- This module is based on AISC ASD code that includes
three types of moment connections, Type 1 (Rigid-Frame),
Type 2 (Simple), and End Plate connections.
- Specify moments and end reactions at beams framed
into the column due to gravity and live load or link
them from a previous analysis.
- Specify column story shear (web shear), beam and
column dimensions and the load type to specify whether
the live load is due to wind or earthquake.
|
 |
- Applicable plate dimensions (optional).
- Specify bolt size (optional), bolt type, connection
type, hole type, weld material and weld type.
- Checks for beam flange net area, beam web bearing,
shear plate bearing and shear and plate dimensions
(top/bottom/flange/shear/end plate) when applicable.
- Calculates bolt size, number of bolts and weld size
for fillet weld when applicable.
- Calculates column stiffeners dimensions and column
doubler plate dimensions if required.

Bolt Group Analsysis
- Analysis through Elastic or Modified Elastic methods.
- Supply vertical and horizontal shear loads with
eccentricities.
- Supply any number of bolts in the horizontal or
vertical direction.
- Position the bolts in any manner!
- Calculates centroid of bolt configuration.
- Calculates all eccentric moments along with total
vertical and horizontal loads.
- Direct and Torsional shear in the vertical and horizontal
directions are reported on each bolt along with a
resultant shear.
