Improvements have been implemented in the following seismic codes:
- CHOC-04 (Honduras)
Código Hondureño de la Construcción. Normas Técnicas Complementarias. XII.
Cargas y Fuerzas Estructurales. Diseño por Sismo. - COVENIN 1756-1:2001 (Venezuela)
Norma Venezolana COVENIN 1756-1:2001. Edificaciones sismorresistentes. - NSE-10 (Guatemala)
Normas de Seguridad Estructural de Edificaciones y Obras de Infraestructura para la República de Guatemala, edición 2010.
These codes were already implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D as of previous versions. They are used in CYPECAD together with the ACI 318M-08 (USA - International) concrete code.
As of the 2013.g version, the analysis in CYPECAD using the ACI 318M-08 (USA - International) concrete code in combination with seismic codes: CHOC-04 (Honduras), COVENIN 1756-1:2001 (Venezuela) and NSE-10 (Guatemala), offers:
- Detailed ultimate limit state check reports for concrete columns in CYPECAD's column editor.
- Advanced edition of the columns in CYPECAD.
- Automatic generation of the column reinforcement tables.
CYPECAD's new column editor offers and extensive and meticulous information on the data, checks and results of all the concrete and steel columns of the job including their detailed Ultimate Limit State (U.L.S.) check reports. The U.L.S. reports allow users to verify, justify and optimise the design of the columns in CYPECAD.
