| Corporate News: Professional Services from your software provider SCIA |
|
| |
A distinguishing success factor for a software supplier such as SCIA within a specific market niche is the strength of its back-up services to its clients.
The breakthrough of B.I.M. (Building Information Modelling) strengthens the need for external support by specialists to change the working processes at engineering offices and other companies supported by SCIA.
SCIA has a young & dynamic team of service engineers in a variety of functions: help desk, training classes, on-line support, website forum Q&A, project consultancy and customisation project services.
Interesting to know is that SCIA is deploying integrated webbased information databases to track support interventions up to the development organisation: each call, mail or fax gets the required attention.
Our support teams are spread over several countries, to be as close as possible to our users.
Regularly SCIA is measuring the quality of its support services through surveys.
More interaction with clients through the Internet will soon be released by SCIA, among them a ... more |

'EC1994 - Composite steel-concrete beam and slab design' in SCIA•ESA PT |
|
The module esascd.01.01 'composite steel concrete design for buildings' is a module for the use in the structural design or checking of composite beams and slabs, by preparing calculations for their strength, stability and stiffness. This is in accordance with EN1994 for buildings and BS5950 Part 3: Section 3.1:1990.
The 'composite steel concrete design' module designs composite beams at the final (composite) stage and at the construction (non-composite) stage (EN1993). It also includes the fire resistance design for composite steel and concrete beams. During 2008 this module will be extended with the design of composite columns.
Main Features:
Design Procedure
The composite design is defined on 2D and 3D steel beam structures.
All design parameters are introduced according to the SCIA•ESA PT standard through libraries.
These libraries are linked to steel beam properties: including slab data, 1D member data, shear connectors, etc.
Loads
Uniform, point and distributed dead or imposed loads may be specified for the construction and final stages according to the SCIA•ESA PT standard. Beam loadings can also be given in terms of ... more |

| Arabian Canal: an artificial channel of 75 km in Dubai |
|
| |
Another gigantic building site in Dubai.
The emirate is about to create an artificial canal of a length of 75 km through the desert for 11 billion dollars.
The construction of the canal will be spread over three years, as announces the promoter of the project, Limitless, a subsidiary company of the holding 'Dubai World'.
Under the name of "Arabian Canal", the project will transform the harbour area of Jebel Ali into an island;
Jebel Ali is a free trade zone, where an airport with 6 runways, "Dubai World Central International Airport" (JXB), currently still under construction, is tipped to become the largest in the world.
The canal, with a width of 150 m and a depth of 6 m, will be able to accommodate boats with a maximum length of 40 m, as stated in an official statement; the excavating works will ... more

The winning project: 'School of Bourscheid' by Georges & Theis architectes associés (B) |
|
| |
 At the end of 1994, architect G. Theis, independent associate since March 1984, created the present office.
In January 2004, architect B. Georges (former employee) became an associate of the company that is since then called "B. GEORGES & G. THEIS, architects associés Sarl".
Their mission is to design, tender and follow up the construction works for private, public, hospital and city projects as well as for projects in "bio-construction" and the "durable development".
 The project
As the number of pupils in Bourscheid will grow considerably over the following years, the local town council decided to expand the present school infrastructure.
The condition was that the expansion had to keep a direct relation with the current building, guaranteeing the architectural specifications and the rural character of the village. The whole complex, the former school and the new building, will form one educational centre that combines the ... more |
