Capacity design criteria for seismic design of concrete columns and beams

The 2013.e version of CYPECAD implemented "the capacity design criteria for bending at the supports in accordance with Annex 10 of the EHE-08 code". Now, for the 2013.g version, other capacity design criteria will be implemented for seismic design, with which CYPECAD designs concrete beams and columns. The capacity design criteria implemented up to now are:

  • The capacity design criteria for bending at the supports in accordance with Annex 10 of the EHE-08 code (Spain) - as of the 2013.e version.
  • The capacity design criteria for bending at the supports in accordance with the NCSE-02 seismic code (Spain) - as of the 2013.g version.
  • The capacity design criteria for shear in beams in accordance with Annex 10 of the EHE-08 code (Spain) - as of the 2013.g version.
  • The capacity design criteria for shear in beams in accordance with the NCSE-02 seismic code (Spain) - as of the 2013.g version.

These design criteria are applied in CYPECAD and are specified in the Detailed Ultimate Limit State check reports if the selected codes are those which have been indicated.
