Dear eNews reader,
In this eNews we would like to call your attention to safety! In our first article we go into safety assessment in the scaffolding industry and in the second topic we focus on fire safety. Further on we reveal the plans for constructing the highest building of the world in Dubai, a masterly example of architecture! As usual put our highlights on one of our customers' project and last but not least we give an explanation on automatic member reinforcement design in Scia Engineer.
We wish you a lot of reading pleasure!

Corporate News: Safety Assessment is fundamental for scaffolding structures |
|
|
|
| |
|
 The case "scaffolding accident at the Amer power plant (NL); five persons were killed".
Recently the details of the accident were published by the Dutch Authorities (Parliament and TNO report):
A
64 m high scaffolding collapsed during maintenance operations at a vessel of the electricity plant 'Amer’ at Geertruidenberg (NL) on 28/9/2003. The report by the experts showed an accumulation of errors: unsafe design, wrong construction, warnings during mounting were disregarded, and so on.
The design engineer of the Amer plant scaffolding was sentenced to one year imprisonment.
The primary reason for the collapse was the inadequate design of the scaffolding structure. Although the member forces in all members were close yet under the maximum allowable, the instability due to buckling became the primary cause of the collapse for this freestanding structure. A simulation by ... more

Product News: Concrete Fire Resistance check in Scia Engineer |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
 Fire safety engineering is becoming more and more important today. Specifically for this reason, Nemetschek Scia is participating in the TETRA project on this subject. This project is launched to do research on fire safety engineering and later on translate and spread this knowledge among both the industry and educational institutions. Several universities, high schools and customers are involved in this project.
The role of Scia exists in supplying the engineer with comprehensive practical tools that can be used to do fire resistance calculations. In other words, by using these design modules the engineer can assess the general fire safety of the construction to ensure public safety in case of a fire situation as prescribed by the Eurocodes.
In the text below the capabilities for fire calculations in concrete in Scia Engineer are explained more in detail.
The concrete fire resistance module ESACD.07.01 is a module to ... more

Market News: The next tallest building in the world and Nemetschek Scia in Dubai |
|

 Even during a world-wide financial crisis the Middle East continues to grow. Plans for more super tall buildings have been announced in the Middle East. These include a 1 km tall tower being developed by Nakheel. The 200 floor concrete structure will be higher than the existing record holder, the 818 metre Burj Dubai Tower, which is still under construction. The tower is part of the 270 hectare Nakheel Harbour and Tower Project launched at the Cityscape exhibition in Dubai. UK consultant WSP is the lead designer for the 35 billion US$ plus project. Developer, Tameer, has also confirmed it is building a 600m tower in Dubai with consultant Atkins working on the project.
In response to the growing demand and ... more | |

Tips & Tricks: Automatic member reinforcement design in Scia Engineer (Module ESACDT.01) |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
 Do you need a fast design method for reinforcement in concrete beams and columns?
We have the solution. This can be done perfectly by means of the automatic reinforcement design in our concrete module.
 Since the beginning of our software program, it has always been possible to manually transform a required amount of calculated reinforcement into an amount of user reinforcement (also called practical reinforcement). It is up to the user to verify if this practical reinforcement satisfies the theoretical reinforcement design.
A recent tool simplifies this procedure: Automatic practical reinforcement.
This option calculates the amount of practical reinforcement according to the internal forces distribution and moreover it performs a capacity check. Also a reduction of the ... more |
