Hello,
It’s been some years now that I have been using Prokon Frame Analysis for finite element modeling and design of concrete structures, notably slabs. It only recently occurred to me to check what FE formulation they use and found out that it’s a Discreet Kirchhoff-Mindlin, which I know...
From the numerous finite element concrete design packages available, do you have a preference for one or the other? Can we make a sort of poll to determine what is most widely used and why?
I, for instance, use Frame from The Prokon Structural Analysis and Design package.
A number of...
Hello,
We are designing a stainless steel feature consisting of CHS arched over a distance of 20 m, to a height of 7.5m, braced at intervals of 2m with CHS sections. The whole structure is fixed to the side of a concrete bridge. We have been told that we need to design it for harmonic loading...
