Program 1 - MS EC8 NA response spectrum generator

Brief description:

This online program was developed to help practicing engineers in Malaysia to generate the response spectrum with site period parameterisation in the Malaysian NA to EC8 (2017). Borehole records can be input to estimate the site period. Corresponding ground type and its response spectrum can then be automatically generated in a PDF report.

Program 2 - Rapid dynamic analysis engine

Brief description:

The benefit of this online program is to provide a rapid check on detail computer model constructed using any commercial structural analysis software and analysed for dynamic actions. The user simply needs to choose the response spectrum, input the storey mass, storey height and estimated storey deflection under static loading for the building. A refined natural period of the building, revised base shear and deflection demand are reported. The results can be automatically generated in a PDF report for checking purposes.

Program 3 - EC8 DCM column & shear wall optimiser

Brief description:

DCM detailing has been a daunting task for structural engineers practicing in the low-to-moderate seismicity regions. This program was written to fill in the gap of DCM detailing for columns and shear walls. The user simply needs to choose the size and input other related properties such as concrete strength, rebar sizes and site locations in Malaysia. The detailed results can be automatically generated in a PDF report for checking purposes.
