BDIM EuCDN Library

This package provides a Design Class Constructor (DCC) for defining the Building Design Information Model (BDIM) of reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings corresponding to the European design class eu_cdn. It includes component implementations that inherit from the abstract design interfaces defined in bdim.baselib.

The EuCDN class refers to older structures constructed before the 1960s, designed only for gravity loads using the allowable stress method and typically employing low-strength materials. The design rules from RBA (1935) are adopted herein as representative of European practice at the time. As noted in the standard, its rules were informed by regulations, standards and guidelines from countries such as Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland, published between 1924 and 1933.
