CSI.PERFORM.3D.v5.0.1 Traditionally, earthquake-resistant design has been strength-based, using linear elastic analysis. Since inelastic behavior is usually allowed for strong earthquakes, this is not entirely rational. Strength-based design considers inelastic behavior only implicitly. Displacement-based (or deformation-based) design considers inelastic behavior explicitly, using nonlinear inelastic analysis. Displacement-based design recognizes that in a strong earthquake, inelastic deformation (or ductility) can be more important than strength. PERFORM-3D allows you to use displacement-based design. Procedures for displacement-based design using inelastic analysis are specified in ASCE 41, “Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings”. ASCE 41 applies to the retrofit of existing buildings, but the procedures can be applied to the design of new buildings. PERFORM-3D implements the procedures in ASCE 41. However, PERFORM-3D is a general tool...

CSI CSiCOL v9.0.1 CSiCOL is a comprehensive software package used for the analysis and design of columns. The design of columns of any concrete, reinforced concrete, or composite cross-section can be carried out by the program. CSiCOL provides a \’Quick Design Wizard\’ tool that guides the users step-by-step, through the whole process of column design. This makes the design process simple, organized and efficient. The design can be carried out in accordance with ACI-318-11, ACI-318-08, ACI 318-05, ACI 318-02, ACI 318-99, BS8110, CSA A-23.3-04, CSA A23.3-94, Eurocode 2-2004 and IS 456-2000 codes. CSiCOL is capable of handling an unlimited number of load combinations both for sway and non-sway conditions. The design actions may be specified directly or may be computed...

CSI.Bridge.2016.v18.1.0.1227 Changes from v18.0.0 (Released 2015-10-30)MiscellaneousEnhancements Implemented* Incident Description85446 The version number has been changed to v18.0.1 for a new minor update.User Interface and DisplayIncidents Resolved* Incident Description* 85432 An incident was resolved in which the 64-bit version of the program could take a minute or more tolaunch on certain machines. This is a result of Microsoft\’s JIT (just-in-time) compiler and not a bugin the software. Not all systems are equally affected, and newer versions of the Windows (8.1 and10) tend to be less affected, especially if Windows Updates are current. A new tool,CSiNativeImageGen is available to \’precompile\’ the software after installation, prior to use. In mostcases this should resolve the slow startup time, as well as speed up the...
