Introduction of the Software of Seismic Retrofitting Design for Existing Buildings in Iran

Abstract eng:
Computer program for analysis and design of structures with nonlinearity of geometry and materials consideration in finite element zone, which have been used of required elements node (unlimited) with respect to solve accuracy in static and dynamic situations. In final represents results with all required construction reports and drawings. High speed personal computers make the research engineers able to get more details of natural effects which affected to human life. Evidently , trying to control and speed up the logical results with computers, is one of the several ways which needs high technology to make transformation the physical space to mathematical space and solving them in computer and finally transfer the results to physical space again. In the software which has been produced are divided to the four sections as follows: • Data entry information • Structure geometry construction with vertical and lateral loads estimation • Analysis and design of all members and connections with emphasis to retrofitting design • Make final reports and required construction drawings This software which have been used for many structures and buildings that have been damaged in earthquake event in Iran e.g. bam city. In this paper we have discussed and described in above software with the relative pictures.
