Dr. Eng. Gheorghe IONIC Altiscad Software

Code: SE322-2
The recent seismic disasters revealed the increasing need of a design conceived for safer buildings. The class will explain how to perform seismic analysis of multi-storey building, according to various country code requirements. The class will focus on advanced plastic analysis using both Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis and Altiscad Intellishape, a custom developed solution for checking ultimate resistance of structural elements. Attending this class. engineers will learn how to design concrete elements with arbitrary shape, structural wall cores, or columns under compression with lateral load. Both Robot Structural Analysis and Revit Structure advanced capabilities will be used to analyze a structure, to add reinforcement, and to calculate elements ultimate capacity.

CALCULATION EXAMPLE WITH ROBOT STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS PROFESSIONAL 2011


REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURE - NODES VERIFICATION -

In the next example we will show a reinforced concrete structure mainly made with reinforced concrete frames but also with reinforced concrete walls.

The configuration of the reinforced concrete structure is: Height of building ground + 4 levels; Three openings of 6 m; 4 spans of 4.5m plus reinforced concrete walls of 7.5m; The height of the ground floor is 5m and the height of the other floors is 3.5m

After the calculation ended we will go on and start the verification of a frame joint. To make this possible it is necessary for the beams and columns that intersect in the specific joint to be designed in the corresponding beam or column model.

1. Chosing and selecting the frames

2. Designing a reinforced concrete beam The calculation of a reinforced concrete beam tipe element is made by selecting the components of continuous beam and going to Analysis > Design of RC structure elements > RC beam design.

At the start of this module the Parameters of RC Elements window will apear. There you can chose between Simple cases and Manual combinations. Chosing the first option the program will automaticly make

the combinations based on the simple cases introduced by you. The second option is exclusively for manual combinations made in advence.

Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures using Robot Structural and Altiscad Intellishape

The control of the design of RC beam model is made from the Beam Parameters toolbar. Here you can define a Cross section type, Item dimensions, Openings. The program also lets us to redefine the loads from the Loads definition button.

The most used options in the case of taking a beam from an analized model will be: Story parameters, Calculation options, and reinforcement pattern. For viewing or editing the results the next options are available: Reinforcement, Calculation note, Drawings, Drawings parameters, Structure updating, and so on.

In Calculation Options window you can set the type of the concrete, of the longitudinal and transversal reinfercement, the necesary element plasticity.

In the Reinforcement Pattern window you can select the prefered diameter and the minimum diameter for the reinforcement, the number of layers on which il will pe placed, the shape of the transversal reinforcement, and so on.

Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures using Robot Structural and Altiscad Intellishape

After all the settings had been made you can start the calculation of the element from the Analysis > Calculation Option Set window. The window that will apear after the calculation is complete depends on the selection of

one of the options: Current layout, Results layout, Reinfercement layout, Drawing layout.

In the Beam Results window you can see the beam envelopes for the bending moment and for the capable, design or theoretical shear force, and so on. The display of these results can be done in a very detaliled way, depending on a variety of parameters: combinations, reinforcement, deflections, simple cases, and so on.

In the Beam Reinforcement the reinforcement bars are arranged, the longitudinal oanes as well as the transversal oanes with the posibility of

editing each part of them separately in a tabular window.

After the editing of the reinforcement is done you can make the drawings. They can be exported in RSA module to be done or directly in Autocad Structural Detailing for some shape editing.

3. Designing reinforced concrete columns The calculation of the RC column type elements is made by selecting the component elements of a continuous beam and going to Analysis > Desire of RC Structure elements > RC column design.

At the start of this module the Parameters of RC Elements. You can chose here, just like in the beam case, between simple cases and manual combinations.

The control of the design of RC column model is made from the Column Parameters toolbar. Here you can define a Cross section type, Item dimensions, Buckling length. The program also lets us to redefine the loads from the Loads definition button.

The most used options in the case of taking a column from an analized model will be: Story parameters, Calculation options, and reinforcement pattern. For viewing or editing the results the next options are available: Reinforcement, Calculation note, Column drawings, Drawings parameters, Structure updating, and so on.

26

In Calculation Options window you can set the type of the concrete, of the longitudinal and transversal reinfercement, the necesary element plasticity.

27

Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures using Robot Structural and Altiscad Intellishape

In the Reinforcement Pattern window you can select the prefered diameter and the minimum diameter for the reinforcement, the number of layers on which il will pe placed, the shape of the transversal reinforcement, and so on.

Just like in the procedure shown for the RC beams, after all settings had been made we can calculate the element from Alalysis > Calculation Options. The window that will appear after the calculation in complete

depends on the selection of one of the options: Current layout, Results layout, Reinfercement layout, Drawing layout. In the Column Results window you can see the column envelopes by combinations, the fundamental oanes as well as the accidental oanes. The display of these results is in a tabular window but also as bending moment axial force interaction curve diagram.

In the Column Reinforcement the reinforcement bars are arranged, the longitudinal oanes as well as the transversal oanes with the posibility of editing each part of them separately in a tabular window.

After the editing of the reinforcement is done you can make the drawings. They can be exported in RSA module to be done or directly in Autocad Structural Detailing for some shape editing.

You can also acces the calculation notes. Accesing them is very easy and it has a well-structured presentation.

4. Nodes verification. The RC node verification is possible by going to Connections > Beamcolumn nodes.

You have to pay a special attention to this window for the beams and column numbering that intersect in the node. For example, for the 38..40 beam the V2 support corresponds to the common point of the 38 and 39 beams, and for 62..65 beam, the V2 support corresponds to the common point of the 62 and 63 beams. The columns 14 and 105 must have the same common point with the intresection of the beams. The node verification will be done depending on the proposed ductility for the structure. The initial appearance of the plastic hinge on the beam is controlled by incresing the bending moment of the column from the capable bending moment of the beam, as is shown by the requirement below:

In the window below the verification combinations are selected for each of the 4 elements in hand( trnsversal beems, longitudinal beems, upper column, lower column). The verification of the node will be made only for the combinations chosen by you. They can be modified, erased or you can add more.

The results will be displayed with a value larger than 1 for the corresponding nodes and combinations and with a value smoler than 1 for the nodes that dont meet the requirements.

This model can also provide calculation notes simplified as well as detailed, very usefull for a third party to check the calculations. In the end I will show an example in this way.

Altiscad Intellishape(R) Design Steps


The most simple, efficient and fast way to analyze structural walls and columns to lateral forces (seismic loads , wind loads) in non linear analysis is by combining the features of the following softwares: Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis, Revit Structure and Altiscad Intellishape (R). The use of extensions helps the user in the integration process. Autodesk provides their customers with a series of extensions necessary for the integration and detailing process. For this process to be completed, Altiscad Intellishape Extension (R) completes the integration between the three programs. The benefit of the integration is the iterative procedure and its steps: 1. Using Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis the model of the structure is made (geometrical model, loads, seismic parameters, combinations etc) and then the same software proceeds with the design anlysis. 2. The structural model is then transferred from Robot to Revit using Revit's extensions. These are available with the Autodesk subscription. 3. The reinforcement of the concrete elements is the realized using Revit's special tools. 4. Using Altiscad Intellishape Extension (R) the reinforced concrete elements are transferred to Altiscad Intellishape (R). The extension allows the transfer of the reinforced cross section with materials from Revit, but also the import of forces from Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis (from all combinations to the selected element). 5. The section is then analized and the moment curvature diagrams are provided: NM, Mx-My and the geometrical characteristics of the cross section. The forces are then verified by observing their placement in the interior or in the exterior of the diagram. There are also other coefficients available like the compression ratio of the section. 6. For the next step, we modify the geometric characteristics in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis (reduced moments of inertia due to the cracking of the section). 7. The iterative process is then replayed from step 1 to step 5 until all the requirements are fulfilled. 8. The reinforced elements are then transferred from Autodesk Revit Structure to ASD. 9. In the last step, the final execution drawings are made in Autodesk Autocad Structural Detailing.
