BDIM TrPost18DCH 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 TrPost18DCH class represents RC frame buildings constructed after 2018, designed according to the provisions of TBEC-2018 together with relevant requirements from TS500-2000. This class corresponds to high ductility level (DCH) systems, where capacity design principles are explicitly enforced to ensure ductile global behavior. These include strong-column weak-beam hierarchy, confinement of plastic hinge regions, and detailed seismic design provisions consistent with modern performance-based design philosophy. In this design class, seismic code provisions (TBEC-2018) take precedence over TS500 requirements when determining design parameters.
