EdiLus-RC – A powerful software for concrete design & reinforced concrete structural calculation

EdiLus-RC is an exclusive software for making perfect concrete design that deals with structural calculations toward new and subsisting buildings in reinforced concrete by means of the most simple and effective SMART BIM object input.

The first structural calculations BIM software for reinforced concrete buildings.

To use the software, just draw the structural members to input nodes, loads, constraints… the computational model is fully ascertained from the drawing automatically.

With this software, it is possible to design and measure new buildings as well as accomplish checks and structural redevelopments of subsisting reinforced concrete buildings with cladding work, platings, FRP interventions, etc. Particular functions will help in obtaining information concerning the subsisting structure, the material strengths defining its reinforcements.

It is also possible to insert new roof structures to the subsisting building, elevations, or even extra floors, etc., and then move on to an overall validation.

Finite Element Method solver integrated in the software: A FEM solver is added with the software to provide a unitary experience in structural design. Graphical input, the static and dynamic calculations, structural analysis, modifications and construction documents (charts, tables and reports) are all created with the very same software in a simple and incorporated manner.

Graphical analysis of the calculation results: Each object is illustrated with its stress and deformation values once the calculation process is completed. Besides, the detailed calculation leads to numerical form, EdiLus also offers different graphical views that facilitate you to realize how the structure functions at a glance. The process for improvidngh the static or dynamic behaviour of the structure is simple and intuitive.

Object oriented modelling, 3D input based on Magnetic Grids: Design with intelligent objects that comprises of information concerning their characteristics of resistance and spatial location.

The complicated spatial structures can now be easily modeled with Magnetic Grids, the robust tool that facilitates you to develop a network of magnetic points in space where the different structural components are automatically attached.

Automatic reinforcement schedules design: EdiLus can design the reinforcement schedules for all structural members efficiently. A trouble-free and robust editor that facilitates you to freely adjust the reinforcement bars even after the calculation with an immediate re-verification of the structural element.

Structural checks and Technical Reports: EdiLus-RC examines structural elements sections as per the EUROCODES technical provisions and regulations. Structural engineers can easily select the national annex and the response spectrum concerning the country in which the calculations should be done.

Cost Estimating integrated with structural design: The modelled structure creates a dynamic Bill of Quantities automatically, in reality, the complete project, and any consequent variations, are instantly updated in the project’s cost estimate.

Incorporation with the Edificius BIM model: With integration of EdiLus in Edificius, Architecture and Structural engineering issues can be easily interacted facilitating the structural engineer to design and compute all the structural elements precisely.

Some useful tips for repairing foundation of a building

The house gets damaged in long run and various issues occur in foundation which range from development of cracks, walls caving in, water seeping or water leaking in courtyard, cracks in foundation and irregular floors. In order to maintain the longevity of the house, the repairing work should be started immediately. A house is mainly based on foundation and if issues arise with foundation, proper care should be taken.

Given below, some useful remedies for foundation repair -

Wall Anchor Systems: When the walls of the building protrude, caves in or slide at the bottom, it indicates that the pressure on side walls is raised. To get rid of the issue, it is useful to apply wall anchor systems to provide support to the damaged wall and it neutralizes the pressure and settles the wall and even provides support to walls.

It can be adjusted based on the specifications of the building. The wall anchors can be set up instantly and finished in a day.

Crawl Space Support System: Crawl space support system provides support to the sagging floors and undersized beams recovering strength as well as straighten the beams. It rectifies the sloping floors, interior wall cracks and door to door levelling.

Pier Systems: The purpose of pier systems is to resolve issues with settling foundations and it redresses different types of settlement issues like horizontal or vertical cracks, sinking slab floors, jamming doors and windows etc. The product can be set up instantly and helpful with minimum noise disturbance.

Mud Jacking: Mud jacking refers to a method that adjusts the sinking slabs of patios, walkways, driveways and concrete steps. The mortar mix is injected among the layers to avoid sinking of the base and it is layered in the empty spaces and after getting solidified, it elevates the slab.

Structural Support Jacks: The objective of structural support jacks is to repair sagging crawl space and recovers the structure to original shape devoid of reconstructing it. It adjusts sinking crawl space supports, imperfect structural design, rotting floor beams and foundation failure.

Foundation Replacement: For replacing the entire foundation, the soil is excavated from the foundation and the adjacent areas and the house is jacked up on temporary setups. New foundation is constructed and house is lowered to recover on the foundation and other spaces are repaired as much as possible. But, the process is costly and laborious.

Commercial Helical Anchors: Commercial Helical Anchors offers sound lateral strength to foundations and balances the structure against the pressure of earth. The installation method is simple and it can be set up all the year round. The load strength can be discarded once the installation is finished.

Repair of Sinking Concrete Floors: There are two systems to repair the sinking concrete floors which range from slab pier system and lifting settled floor by injecting high density expanding foam underneath the slab that fills the empty spaces inside and it uplifts the structure back to its original position.

Steel I-Beams: The purpose of Steel I-Beams is to modify when foundation walls start bending or caving inside so that the walls are not collapsed in near future. Steel I-Beams settles the foundation wall and resolves the issue.

Repair of Street Creep Issues: Street creep belongs to a foundation issue that happens because of enlargement in heat and contraction in winters. The empty space is formed and the joints crack and debris get through the spaces thus it fails to keep its original shape in contraction. Street creep is rectified with the process of Wall anchor system.
