Normas Argentinas para Construcción Sismorresistente. Parte II: Construcciones de Hormigón Armado.
The 2013.l version of CYPECAD includes the CIRSOC 103-2005 seismic code. This code contemplates reinforcement ductility criteria and the capacity design criteria for seismic design, which are to be used with the CIRSOC 201-2005 concrete code (Reglamento Argentino de Estructuras de Hormigón). Application of the CIRSOC 103-2005 seismic code is obligatory as of January 2013.
Users do not select to apply the CIRSOC 103-2005 code in the program. The combination of the CIRSOC 201-2005 concrete code together with the CIRSOC 103-1991 (current seismic code of Argentina) or CIRSOC 103-2008 (seismic code which is due to substitute the CIRSOC 103-1991 code) implies the application of reinforcement ductility criteria and the capacity design criteria of the CIRSOC 103-2005 code.
More information on these codes can be found in the section on Application of the concrete and seismic codes of Argentina in CYPECAD in the New features of CYPECAD.
