Detailed reports on the ultimate limit state checks of concrete columns in CYPECAD\’s new column editor
New for the 2012 version, is CYPECAD’s column reinforcement editor which displays all the information related with their design, including the generation of detailed ultimate limit state (U.L.S.) reports. This new tool will be available in an update patch after 2012.a for use with the Spanish EHE-08 concrete code and in subsequent patches for other concrete codes.
The programs CYPECAD, Metal 3D and Portal Frame Generator already allowed for, as of previous versions, to obtain detailed ultimate limit state (U.L.S.) reports for rolled, welded and cold-formed steel, aluminium and timber.
New features for aluminium sections (as of the 2012.a version)
Automatic calculation of the susceptibility to local buckling due to compression
In previous versions of the program, the automatic calculation of the susceptibility to local buckling due to compression was already included assuming that each of the flat elements making up the section buckled in an isolated manner (independent from the rest), and the possibility was included, for any other type of buckling other than the individual type to be considered, to modify the local buckling coefficient which affects the slenderness parameter associated to each element. In this new version, the automatic calculation of the susceptibility to local buckling due to compression considering the possibility that several elements can buckle together as if they were a single element, is also included, hence combined buckling modes are obtained. The program is able to detect and analyse the buckling in a group of elements in the following cases:

Element sequence with all their ends aligned along a straight line
Element sequence with all their ends arranged along a circumference arc with small curvature
Element sequence making up a cell
The combined buckling is also studied if the elements making up the section have been stiffened, which is commonly referred to as buckling due to distortion. Regarding the stiffened elements, a new assistant has been implemented for the design with standard reinforcement in accordance with that exposed in EC9.

Heat affected zones
In this new version, aluminium sections requiring longitudinal welds can now be introduced in the Special aluminium sections editor. The program checks these sections taking into account the reduction of the resistance properties which arise in areas close to these welds: where the elastic limit of the material is affected significantly. The softened zone is referred to as the HAZ (heat affected zone), its extent and severity are calculated by the program.
