The tool, Strut3D, was implemented in the 2013.e version, and allows users to check (in CYPECAD and Metal 3D – using the Pile Caps module) pile caps using a general analysis method that analyses the D regions of the reinforced concrete using a strut and tie model. This tool was only available for use with the EHE-08 (Spain) code. Now, with the 2014.b version, the tool has been implemented for use with the following concrete codes:
- ACI 318M08 (USA)
Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete. - Nch430.Of2008 (Chile)
Norma Chilena oficial NCh430.Of2008. - NTE E.060: 2009 (Perú)
