BDIM Tr0018DCM 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 Tr0018DCM class represents buildings constructed between 2000 and 2018, and designed with a moderate ductility level (DCM). Compared to high ductility systems, these buildings follow simplified seismic detailing and do not enforce capacity design principles. As a result, strength hierarchy rules (e.g., strong-column weak-beam) and confinement requirements are less stringent. 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.
