When an analysis is carried out in CYPECAD using any of the indicated seismic design codes, combined with Eurocode 2 (EU), Eurocode 2 (France) and Eurocode 2 (Portugal), the program takes into account the reinforcement ductility criteria and the capacity design criteria for seismic design of the selected seismic code. These criteria are justified in the Ultimate Limit State reports generated by the advanced column and beam editors of CYPECAD.
More information on the combined use of these concrete and seismic codes can be found in the “Eurocode 2 (EU, France and Portugal)” section on this webpage.
