BDIM TrPost18DCM 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_dcm. It includes component implementations that inherit from the abstract design interfaces defined in bdim.baselib.

The TrPost18DCM 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 moderate ductility level (DCM) systems. 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. In this design class, seismic code provisions (TBEC-2018) take precedence over TS500 requirements when determining design parameters.
