Design of Masonry Structures (EC 6) « Design of Masonry Structures according to EC6 In SCADA Pro, any structure made of masonry may be modelled simply by defining the outline plan view, which can be done either by importing a .dwg or .dxf file or by sketching it manually. The finite element method is the most advanced approach to simulate these kinds of structures. The model is automatically generated using 3D surface finite elements. Then, through a rich library of wall types, masonry units and mortars available in SCADA Pro, the user can create the desired wall. Linear finite elements may be present in the samemodel too, for the simulation of confinedmasonry. As a result, all kind of wall types, according to EC8 chapter 9 “Specific rules for masonry buildings” may bemodelled: • Unreinforcedmasonry • Confinedmasonry • Reinforcedmasonry Regarding the design and checks required by EC6 “Design of masonry structures”, theapplicationprovides you theflexibility to check either an entire wall or a part of it according to your choice (e.g. a pier). The checks performed are: • In-plane bending check • Out-of-plane bending check parallel to the horizontal joint • Out-of-plane bending check perpendicular to the horizontal joint • Shear check • Vertical load check at the top, middle and base of the wall. In addition, all provisions of EC8, Part 3 have been implemented for the assessment of bearing masonry structures under seismic loading. Regarding the redesign, the reinforcingmethod of amasonry structural element is simulated by applying concrete jacket Masonry reinforcement: • Single or double leaf reinforced concrete jacket. • Selection of reinforcing thickness and concrete quality and the quantity and quality of reinforcement steel. 12 www.scadapro.com Geotechnical Design (EC 7) « Eurocode - EN 1997 is applied to the geotechnical part of the design of buildings and civil engineering projects. EN 1997-1 includes requirements regarding strength, stability, serviceability and durability of structures. • Implementation of designmethods 1, 2 and 3. • Checks in the ultimate limit state – undrained shear resistance. • Checks in the serviceability limit state. • Automatic verification of loads with large eccentricities. • Modeling of mat foundations with surface finite elements. • Parametric definition of the values of the ground cohesion and the undrained shear resistance. • Calculation of displacements – 3D visualization.
