BDIM Tr0018DCH 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 Turkish design class tr_0018_dch. It includes component implementations that inherit from the abstract design interfaces defined in bdim.baselib.

The Tr0018DCH class represents buildings constructed between 2000 and 2018, and designed with a high ductility level (DCH). This implies the application of capacity design principles to ensure ductile global behavior, including strong-column weak-beam hierarchy and detailing requirements for plastic hinge regions. The design rules implemented in this class are primarily based on TBEC-1998, which remained largely consistent for RC frame design in TBEC-2007, together with relevant provisions from TS500-2000.
