New,
ADAPT-PT-RC
New
Design
Code:
AS3600
-
2018
ADAPT-PT/RC
has
been
updated
to
include
the
latest
Australian
-
AS3600
(2018)
concrete
design
code.
The
provisions
in
this
design
standard
that
have
been
included
in
ADAPT-PT/RC
include
but
are
not
limited
to:
Utilization
of
a
parabolic
strain-stress
curve
per
requirements
of
section
3.1.4,
for
design
purposes
this
curve
is
modified
such
that
the
maximum
equals
0.9*f’c.
Load
combinations
based
on
the
requirements
of
section
2.5.2
in
conjunction
with
AS/NZS
1170.
Crack
control
in
prestressed
sections
(beams
and
one-way
slabs)
is
compliant
with
section
8.6.3.
Crack
control
in
prestressed
sections
(two-way
slabs)
is
compliant
with
section
9.5.2.3.
Service
deflections
in
cracked
state
using
the
properties
of
effective
moment
of
inertia
based
on
Eq.8.5.3.1
of
the
code.
Openings
ADAPT-PT/RC
now
includes
an
option
to
model
openings,
or
penetrations,
near
columns
and
evaluate
the
punching
shear
strength
of
the
slab.
This
new
feature
is
available
for
the
following
design
codes:
ACI-318-19/14/11/08/05/99
CAN-A23.3-14/04/94
Openings
in
RC
and
PT
two-way
slabs
are
critical
factors
that
impact
the
punching
shear
strength
of
the
slab.
Openings
next
to
columns
reduce
the
concrete
area
that
resist
punching
shear
and
can
significantly
reduce
the
slab’s
shear
capacity.
Therefore,
the
presence
of
openings…
