EXAMPLE 9. INTEGRATED EXAMPLES OF FLAT PLATES

EXAMPLE 9 - FLAT PLATES 36 § Comparison with the results of CSI Safe 2014 The perforation test in Safe 2014 gives the corresponding ratio in the columns (figure below). An adequacy ratio of 0.78 is calculated for the column under consideration. The difference between the two programs is in the order of 4%. We consider the substructure located two positions below by Z (node 38). For this substructure, Safe calculates an excess of strength (adequacy ratio 1.07) (figure below). Scada also finds that there is a need for reinforcement for this particular substructure (adequacy ratio 0.394/0.356 = 1.11) and calculates the reinforcement. In detail, the results are as follows: The first page of the results shows the input data and the arrangement of the reinforcement according to the user's choice. Here a radial arrangement with two reinforcement beams per quadrant was selected.
