Overview
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-318-02, ACI-318-99
or CSA A-23.3-94 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 by the program using the
moment magnification method. The design and analysis take into
account the slenderness effects.
Sway or non-sway condition checks may also be performed by the
program as specified by the
selected design code. Moreover, CSiCOL is capable of determining
the Effective Length Factor based
on the framing and end conditions of the column.
CSiCOL output includes the capacity interaction surface, load-moment
curves, moment-moment curves,
moment-curvature curves for various failure criterion, combined
axial-flexural elastic stress contours, rebar
stresses, cracked section stresses, load point location,
capacity vector, neutral axis depth and orientation,
etc. Reports may be created as part of the output for the
analysis and design process. The reports may
be customized by adding information and graphics of your choice.
CSiCOL provides several predefined parametric shapes, including
a variety of solids, hollow, and
flanged shapes, in addition to a large collection of Standard
Steel Database Shapes, which can be
used in composite columns. It is easy to merge, edit and draw
Shapes to suit geometry requirements
and create complex cross-sections. The program provides tools
for the alignment, stacking, and
placement of these Shapes. Rebars can be placed anywhere (corner,
perimeter, sides, circle, irregular, etc.) in the cross-section
using several addition and placement tools. Standard (ASTM,
Metric, and Imperial )
as well as user defined rebar sets may be used.
About Developer
Developer : Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI)
Providing software solutions for structural and earthquake
engineering.
Founded in 1976 by company President Ashraf Habibullah, CSI is
recognized worldwide as an innovative leader in the development
of software tools for the analysis and design of civil
structures. CSI products are licensed to thousands of structural
engineering firms throughout the USA and in over 60 foreign
countries.
The development of CSI software spans three decades, starting
with the research of Dr. Edward L. Wilson at the University of
California at Berkeley. The revolutionary SAP program was first
released in 1970, and Dr. Wilson has subsequently been
recognized by national and international engineering societies
as one of the preeminent researchers in the field of computer
aided structural analysis.
Each of CSI's programs is tailored to specific classes of
structures, allowing the engineering community to work at more
productive and efficient levels than is possible with "general
purpose" type programs. SAP2000 is intended for use on civil
structures such as bridges, dams, stadiums, industrial
structures and buildings. ETABS has been developed specifically
for multi-story building structures, such as office buildings,
apartments and hospitals. The SAFE System provides an efficient
and powerful program for the analysis and design of concrete
slabs and foundations.
Not only is CSI known for analytically sophisticated software,
but for unsurpassed product support as well. User support
activities include advice on structural systems, interpretation
of structural behavior, clarification on various aspects of
building codes, opinions on special modeling problems, and other
aspects associated with the subject of computerized structural
analysis and design.
