EXAMPLE 6. BUILDING VALUATION & REDESIGN STUDY

EXAMPLE 6: "STUDY FOR THE VALUATION AND REDESIGN OF A BUILDING ACCORDING TO THE CANC. 17 The SCADA Pro SCADA Pro has now fully integrated the CIP. With predefined parameters and automatic way all the necessary analyses are performed, all the checks of the performance criteria provided by the CIP are performed and the results are presented in a direct and supervisory way. Anelastic static analysis also provides information and complete overview of the order of occurrence of plastic joints in the limbs. The designer now has a complete picture of the gradual deformation of the member at each step and can easily and quickly identify the "weak" points of the structure. This method is mainly used in the assessment and control of the load-bearing capacity of existing buildings in relation to a defined level of performance, i.e. the desired and targeted behaviour of the building, based on the new regulation on interventions (KAN.EPE). It can also be used in redesign as well as in new buildings in order to determine from the resistance curve of the structure the ratio au/ai required, according to EC8, for the calculation of the seismic behaviour factor q of the structure. REQUIREMENTS A prerequisite for the execution of an inelastic analysis scenario is the existence of reinforcement in the cross-sections, which results from dimensioning ONLY with Eurocode 2 scenario with adaptation of the strengths of the Steel and Concrete materials to the strengths of the existing structure. The materials to be used shall NOT be B and STI grade (old material grades) but the adjustments of strengths and individual safety factors shall be based on the new materials. INTRODUCTION This manual was created to guide the researcher in his first steps in the field of inelastic analysis. As an example, a three-storey reinforced concrete structure, considered as existing, was used in order to evaluate and check its load-bearing capacity in relation to a defined level of performance and is a guide for the new user in his effort to familiarize himself with the program.
