The paper describes a customer project, the objective of which was to develop a software program for the calculation of reinforced concrete and steel/concrete composite columns subjected to various loadings and exposed to normal temperature or to fire conditions. Such analysis required the use of two Finite Element calculation cores (i) for thermal analysis and (ii) for geometrical and material non-linearity. Calculation cores were connected to graphical user interface via open interface -IDEA Open Model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
