simdesign.rcmrf.bdim.eu_cdn.building

This module provides the Building Design Information Model (BDIM) implementation for the eu_cdh design class.

class simdesign.rcmrf.bdim.eu_cdn.building.Building(taxonomy)[source]

BDIM implementation for design class eu_cdn.

This class extends BuildingBase by narrowing the attribute types to the eu_cdn implementations and overriding design class-specific methods.

Variables:

beams (List[Beam]) – List of beam instances.
columns (List[Column]) – List of column instances.
joints (List[Joint]) – List of joint instances.
slabs (List[Slab]) – List of slab instances.
stairs (List[Stairs]) – List of stairs instances.
infills (List[Infill]) – List of infill wall instances.
steel (Steel) – Steel material instance used in the design of beams and columns.
concrete (Concrete) – Concrete material instance used in the design of beams and columns.
loads (Loads) – Loads instance used to apply building loads.
materials (Materials) – Materials instance used to set building materials.
rebars (Rebars) – Rebars instance used to determine reinforcement arrangement.
quality (Quality) – Quality instance used to adjust properties of structural elements.
COLUMN_UNIFORMIZATION_STEP (int) – Step size for column section uniformisation across storeys. For example, a value of 2 allows the section to vary every two storeys from bottom to top.

Parameters:

taxonomy (TaxonomyData)

Notes

Design follows allowable stress design approach.
Design is based on gravity loading only (no seismic design).
Main reference building code is RBA-1935.
Basic units are kN, m, sec.
Overrides _set_maximum_column_dimensions() method to set design-class specific maximum column dimensions.
