How to model a Reinforced Concrete Beam with Ansys Workbench

Ansys, a USA based Computer-aided engineering software developer, presents an exclusive construction tutorial on modeling a Reinforced Concrete Beam with ANSYS Workbench. ANSYS Workbench is the most recognized platform to resolve any issue associated with engineering field. Here static static structural analysis method is followed for the modeling purpose.

PLCRACK command is applied to demonstrate failed elements or cracked or crushed elements. Deformation of the Rebar can also be exported. This is a four point bending test of concrete.

How to create design & analysis of a simple structure with Orion 18

This is a useful construction video that shows how to use Orion V18 software to create the design of a basic structure. Orion is a construction program as well as structural engineering software from CSC (currently acquired by Tekla) that can be used for developing efficient structural design. The software can design simple or complicated reinforced concrete buildings. It performs analysis and design concerning valid structural elements like beams, columns, slabs and walls. It can also work with complex structures like multi-storey buildings There also exist a series of international codes along with British Standards and Eurocodes.

Orion 18.0 supports both 32 and 64-bit operating system.

Given below some of the exclusive features of Orion 18.0 :-

• Beams now designed for torsion
• Latest polyline column editor
• Batch FE beam load decomposition
• Latest column centreline modelling in Building Analysis
• Superior automatic cantilever marking
• New column perimeter modelling in FE raft foundation analysis
• Consistent BIM integration with Autodesk® Revit® 2013 and Tekla Structures 2013
• Several new modeling features
• Superior finite element analysis
• Advanced member design and detailing
• Design and detailing of numerous foundation systems together wih pads, pile caps, strip footings, rafts and piled rafts containing eccentric piling arrangements.
• Facilitates the engineers to directly export drawing details into CAD
• Produce material-take offs in initial design phase

Design various types of reinforced concrete members with RCM ACI-Builder Software

RCM ACI-Builder Software is a simple tool for structural engineers to design several types of reinforced concrete members with adhering to ACI318M-11 code.

This useful structural engineering software can produce comprehensive design output report involving complete formulas and explanatory figures. This construction program can easily resolve practical issues associated with design. Besides, it can be applied for educational purpose as it facilitates the engineers to gather thorough knowledge on ACI code.

RCM ACI-Builder Software contains the following items:

A. Design of flexural members (Rectangular and T-Shape Sections):

A.1-Ascertain section characteristic under balance case, singly reinforced section & doubly reinforced section.

A.2-Estimate area of steel in accordance with applied moment.

A.3-Estimate moment as per alloted area of steel.

B. Design of Shear under following cases:

B.1- Members based on shear and flexure only.

B.2- Members based on shear and axial compression.

B.3- Members based on shear and significant axial tension.

C. Design of combined shear and torsion under both cases of compatibility and equilibrium torsion.

D. Design of punching for prestressed and non-prestressed members with all column geometry cases: interior, edge & corner columns.

E. Manage current and enduring deflection for beams and slabs.

F. Design of corbels and brackets.
