Code implementation and improvements in its application. CIRSOC 103-2005 (Argentina)

Normas Argentinas para Construcción Sismorresistente. Parte II: Construcciones de Hormigón Armado.

This code was already implemented in CYPECAD as of the 2013.l version in order to be able to use the Reinforcement ductility criteria and the Capacity design criteria for seismic design which are to be used with the concrete code: CIRSOC 201-2005 (Reglamento Argentino de Estructuras de Hormigón).

Now, for the 2014.c version, the following checks have been included:

  • Compliance with article 2.2.9.2
  • For the capacity check of concrete columns, the design axial force specified in article 2.3.5 is used

Please recall that users do not select the CIRSOC 103-2005 code to be applied. The combination of the CIRSOC 201-2005 concrete code together with seismic code CIRSOC 103-1991 (current seismic code in force in Argentina) or together with seismic code CIRSOC 103-2008 (project seismic code which will substitute CIRSOC 103-1991) implies the reinforcement ductility criteria and capacity design criteria for seismic design of CIRSOC 103-2005 be applied.
