Dear SCIA eNews reader, |

Arcelor and SCIA, a strong tandem for innovation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Arcelor Commercial Sections (www.asc.arcelor.com) lays large emphasis on innovation in the use of steel in the construction world. With high-grade steel, efficient new construction methods for floors, bearing structures of buildings, large spans, …, are pursued. The strategic cooperation with SCIA leads to new products and services. Arcelor has a beautiful offer of software for predimensioning, free available on their Internet site. For construction components (for example a beam or a column) fast insight in feasible dimensions for ACB’s (Arcelor Cellular Beams), PMX/CCD beams & columns carried out in mixed steel/concrete, is obtained. The integration of Arcelor dimensioning software in the general design surroundings of SCIA (SCIA.ESA PT) provide direct advantage: the designer is immediately able to compare several options: standard steel profiles, reinforced concrete, prestress concrete, mixed steel concrete implementation or ... more |

Linear and Non-linear construction stages in SCIA.ESA PT 5.2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The linear construction stages were developed for the ‘Prestressing’ project in ESA-Prima Win. It allows the user to built-up its structure (also ‘Steel constructions’!) during the construction and service stages, thus allowing the user to model the entire life cycle of a structure. This module allows the adding/removing of supports, 1D-elements and tendons. For each construction stage, safety factors can be set for the permanent and variable load cases including the prestress load cases, thus resulting in a bandwidth of min/max stresses/forces/deformations/reactions. Additionally the user is able to transform cross-sections by adding newly cast (concrete) or installed(steel/timber/other) materials during the construction stage. Thus easily a composite steel/concrete bridge can be modelled using this module. This module is based on superposing (linearisation) load cases and as a consequence, the user can easily verify results by adding and removing individual cases. The non-linear construction stages were developed for the `PIPFAS’ project in SCIA.ESA PT. Hereby we calculate tensions, forces and deformations in pipelines throughout the various phases that are to be analysed. With a non-linear construction phase model, you calculate in fact a load case that changes as the phases develop. The history of the previous phase (i.e. the deformed structure, internal forces) is remembered for calculating a new construction phase. This module has been based on the 2nd order theory of Newton-Raphson with large bending deformations in the structure. This module cooperates with the physical and geometrical non-linearity’s of SCIA.ESA PT. Particularly, several ... more |
