Reglamento Argentino de Estructuras de Hormigón.
This concrete code was already implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D as of previous versions. As of the 2013.l version, if users select the CIRSOC 201-2005 code and combine it with CIRSOC 103-1991 (current seismic code of Argentina) or CIRSOC 103-2008 (seismic code which is due to substitute the CIRSOC 103-1991 code), CYPECAD’s Advanced beam editor and column editor may also be used.
Additionally, the U.L.S. reports for columns and beams that are generated by these advanced editors, include reinforcement ductility criteria and the capacity design criteria for seismic design (bending and shear for the seismic design of concrete supports, and capacity design criteria for shear for the seismic design of concrete beams) indicated in the CIRSOC 130-2005 code (Normas Argentinas para Construcción Sismorresistente. Parte II: Construcciones de Hormigón Armado).
The CIRSOC 103-2005 and CIRSOC 103-2008 codes have now been implemented in CYPECAD (as indicated in Loads on structures. Seismic loads). Application of the CIRSOC 103-2005 code is compulsory as of January 2013 whereas CIRSOC 103-2008 is a project code that will substitute CIRSOC 103-1991.
By implementing these seismic codes in CYPECAD, CYPE software is the first structural analysis program that contemplates analysis and design procedures using CIRSOC 103-2005 and CIRSOC 103-2008.
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.
