The Concrete Design add-on provides seismic design for reinforced concrete members, beam-column connection nodes, and wall sections according to EC 8. This includes, among other things, the following features:
- Seismic design configurations
- Distinction between ductility classes DCL, DCM, and DCH
- Option for the transfer of the behavior factor from the dynamic analysis
- Verification of the limit value for the behavior factor
- Design checks for “strong column–weak beam”
- Design rules for verifying bending ductility
- Design rules for local ductility
- Design of beam-column connection nodes according to 5.4.3.3 and 5.5.3.3
- Determination of the envelope design moments and shear forces for ductile walls
- Design rules for the local ductility of wall surfaces
