RCDC CONNECT Edition V11 Update 1

Bentley Systems Incorporated 很高兴地宣布 RCDC (SACD) CONNECT 版本 V11 更新 1 (11.01.00.180) 的可用性是一个全新的产品，它将极大地改进流程并减少将混凝土设计送到现场所需的时间，对于工程师来说正在使用 STAAD.Pro 作为他们设计过程中的分析主力。

RCDC CONNECT 版本 V11 更新 1 中
的新功能和增强功能 下面列出了RCDC 的 CONNECT 版本 V11 更新 1 中添加的新功能和增强功能，该版本随 STAAD.Pro 一起安装。

–在澳大利亚规范中增加了桩帽设计 – AS 3600:2018。
按照 AS 3600 设计桩帽：2018 现已全面上市。用户现在可以在 RCDC 中使用所有可用的桩配置来设计桩帽。
–在坦克结构模块中添加锥形和阶梯式壁。
在 RCDC 中，可以设计具有均匀壁厚的 11 罐壁。在此版本中，可以设计锥形和阶梯式（最多 3 级）墙。对于阶梯墙，如果墙由多个参数化曲面组成，在分析模型中一个在另一个上具有不同的厚度，那么墙将被识别为阶梯墙。将根据两面墙不同截面位置的可用厚度进行设计。用户可以在 RCDC 中将均匀厚度壁的定义（在分析模型中）更改为“锥形”，并在壁的底部和顶部设置厚度。设计计算、图纸和所有其他报告将可用于新型墙。
– 将罐壁几何形状和钢筋数据导出到 ISM。
用户现在可以选择将带有钢筋数据的罐壁、罐板、柱和梁几何图形导出到 ISM。仅当用户设计储罐结构且储罐分析文件中存在柱和梁时，此功能才可用。使用 ISM 用户可以将数据导出到 Structural Synchroniser 或 Pro-structure 以查看 3D 几何图形，其中包含罐壁、板、柱和梁模块的钢筋细节。
–在欧洲代码中增加了地震和风载荷的载荷类型。
在欧洲规范中，针对持续负载和意外负载类型有不同的材料安全系数。现在该选项可用于根据设计要求定义地震和风载荷的载荷类型。根据项目和设计要求，用户现在可以将地震/风荷载定义为持续性或偶然性。因此，材料安全系数将用于设计软件中可用的各种元素。
–在载荷工况列表中添加了土壤和流体载荷。
在土壤和流体类型的基本载荷工况列表中添加了新的载荷类型。这些载荷类型是根据罐体结构设计的要求专门添加的。目前，土壤荷载被视为恒载，流体荷载被视为活荷载以创建荷载组合。

增强功能
以下是此版本中所做的增强功能。

– ADO ID – 687255 – 扭转所需的连杆面积在 Euro Beam 设计中作为外部连杆提供。
在早期版本中，剪切连杆的总面积是在考虑剪切和扭转的综合影响后计算的。现在单独的外链节被设计用来抵抗扭转的影响。剪切箍筋的总面积也被检查剪切和扭转的组合效应。这适用于所有欧洲设计规范。
– ADO ID – 668548 – 用于剪切检查的主要钢筋面积已针对欧洲规范柱和墙设计进行了修订。
用于柱和墙剪切设计的主要钢筋的百分比面积已被修改。对于柱（非延性和延性）和非延性墙，考虑提供总主筋的 50%。对于剪力墙，它被认为是提供的总钢筋的 20%。
– ADO ID – 576851 – 从 STAAD RCDC 读取 UPT 部分现在可以读取 STAAD 提供的所有形状（分配给混凝土材料的形状）。
列表：宽法兰（I形）、槽形（C形）、角形（L形）、T形（T形）、圆形、矩形

已解决的缺陷
以下是此版本中已解决的缺陷列表。

– ADO ID – 713713 – 参数化表面力符号问题
如果墙在 STAAD 中被建模为参数化表面，则有关轴向力符号的问题已得到解决。
– ADO ID – 731141 – 柱裂缝宽度设计问题
如果柱中由于轴向张力或高弯矩而存在轴向拉应力，则显示的裂缝宽度值不正确。这个问题现在已经解决了。
– ADO ID – 682255 – 欧洲梁剪切值显示问题
对于根据欧洲规范进行的梁设计，设计计算报告中错误地显示了所需的剪切钢筋值。此版本中提供了正确的值。
– [bADO ID – 683078[/b] – Euro Beam 侧面钢筋问题
在早期版本中，侧面钢筋是根据裂缝控制的间距标准提供的，该间距标准取决于钢筋等级。由于裂缝控制间距不适用于梁的侧面，现在根据间距和直径等其他设计标准提供侧面钢筋。

Bentley Systems Incorporated is pleased to announce the availability of RCDC (SACD) CONNECT Edition V11 Update 1 (11.01.00.180) is a brand new offering that will vastly improve the process and reduce the time needed to get concrete designs to site, for engineers who are using STAAD.Pro as the analysis workhorse in their design process.

New features and enhancements in RCDC CONNECT Edition V11 Update 1
The following identifies the new features and enhancements that have been added in the CONNECT Edition V11 Update 1 of RCDC, which is installed with STAAD.Pro.

– Addition of Pile-cap deign in Australian code – AS 3600:2018.
Design of Pile-cap as per AS 3600 : 2018 is now available as general availability. User can now design the pile-cap with all available pile configurations in RCDC.
– Addition of Tapered and Stepped type wall in the Tank structure module.
In RCDC 11 tank walls with uniform wall thickness could be designed. In this release, design of tapered and stepped (up to 3 steps) walls can be designed. For Stepped wall, if the wall consists of multiple parametric surfaces one above the other with different thickness in the analysis model, then wall will be identified as stepped wall. Design will be performed as per the available thickness at various section locations for both the walls. User can change the definition of wall with uniform thickness (in analysis model) to ‘Tapered’ in RCDC and set thickness at Bottom and top of wall. Design calculation, drawings and all other reports will be available for new types of walls.
– Exporting Tank wall geometry and reinforcement data to ISM.
Option is now available to user to export tank wall, tank slab, columns, and beams geometry with reinforcement data to ISM. This facility is available only if user designs the tank structures and column & beams are present in the tank analysis file. Using ISM user can export the data to Structural Synchroniser or Pro-structure to view 3D geometry with detailing of the reinforcement for tank wall, slab, column, and beam module.
– Addition of load type for Earthquake and Wind loads in Euro code.
In Euro code there are different material safety factors for persistent and accidental load types. Now the option is available to define the load type for Earthquake and Wind load based on the design requirements. Based on the project and design requirements, user can now define earthquake/ wind load as persistent or accidental. Accordingly, material safety factors would be used in the design of various elements available in software.
– Addition of Soil and Fluid load in the load case list.
New load types are added in the list of basic load case for Soil and Fluid type. These load types are specifically added from the requirement from tank structure design. Presently Soil load is treated as a dead load and Fluid load is treated as Live load to create load combinations.

Enhancements
Following are the Enhancements made in this release.

– ADO ID – 687255 – Area of Links required for Torsion are provided as outer links in Euro Beam design.
In the earlier versions, the total area of shear links was calculated considering the combined effect of shear and torsion. Now the outer links alone are designed to resist the effect of torsion. The total area of shear stirrups is also checked for combined effect for shear and torsion. This is applicable to all Euro design codes.
– ADO ID – 668548 – Area of main reinforcement to be used in shear check is revised for Euro code column and wall design.
The percentage area of main reinforcement to be used for shear design for column and wall has been revised. For column (Non-ductile and ductile) and Non ductile wall, 50% of total main reinforcement provided in considered. For shear walls it is considered as 20% of the total reinforcement provided.
– ADO ID – 576851 – Reading UPT section from STAAD RCDC can read now all shapes available from STAAD (those assigned with concrete material).
List: Wide Flange (I-Shaped), Channel (C-Shaped), Angle (L-shaped), Tee (T-Shaped), Circle, Rectangular

Defects Resolved
Following are the list of Defects Resolved in this release.

– ADO ID – 713713 – Parametric surface forces sign issue
Issue regarding sign of the axial force if the wall is modelled as a parametric surface in STAAD has been resolved.
– ADO ID – 731141 – Column crack-width design issue
If there is axial tensile stress in the column due to axial tension or high bending moments, it was showing incorrect crack-width values. This issue has been resolved now.
– ADO ID – 682255 – Euro Beam Shear value presentation issue
For Beam design as per Euro code, the shear reinforcement required values was wrongly presented in the design calculation report. Correct value is presented in this release.
– [bADO ID – 683078[/b] – Euro Beam Side face reinforcement issue
In earlier version, side face reinforcement was provided based on the spacing criteria of crack control which was depend on the reinforcement grade. As crack control spacing is not applicable to side faces of the beams, now the side face reinforcement provided as per other design criteria like spacing and diameter.
