Steel Structure Building Design
Steel Structure Building Design Tool
Commonly used design software is divided into three categories:
Structural Modeling Calculation Software
PKPM
It is mainly composed of PK, PMCAD, TAT, TAT-D, FWQ, STAWE and other drawing and building structure analysis software.
SAP2000
Mainly suitable for structures with more complex models, such as bridges, stadiums, power transmission towers, grids and other structural forms.
ETABS
Mainly used to calculate special components and structures, nonlinear calculations, and base isolation problems.
Steel Structure Component Calculation Software
Morgain
In the calculation of the stairs, the step stiffness can be considered to calculate the deflection, and it is also very convenient when calculating the foundation and the cap.
Detail
It has the functions of designing simply supported beams, cross-sections, nodes, single-span beams, anchor bolts, foundations, and interpolation method evaluation.
Steel Structure Design Principles
1.Ensure the integrity of the structure. The integrity of the steel structure can ensure that the durability of the building is increased, and the residual value rate is 0.2. The designer must clarify the transfer path of various external forces from the point of action to the foundation and the effect of the transfer process, and how the relevant components are divided and coordinated work.
2.The design must reflect the consistency of calculation and construction. According to the load characteristics of the building and its mechanical behavior, especially the response to the earthquake load, the expected effect must be achieved.
3.The steel structure residence generally does not exceed 12 floors, otherwise the irregular layout is likely to be damaged during an earthquake.
