DISEÑO DE ACERO MÁS RÁPIDO Y PRECISO

The Continental Center Building conversion required extensive modifications to floor beams for new mechanical systems, with web openings that fell outside standard AISC design guidelines. IMEG's engineering team turned to advanced computational analysis to solve this complex structural puzzle, employing IDEA StatiCa's detailed stress modeling to develop precise reinforcement strategies for beam penetrations that fell outside traditional
prescriptive methods.

En el Aeropuerto Metropolitano de las Montañas Rocosas, la capota de un avión con conductor está diseñada para resistir vientos de hasta 250 km/h.

This project is a 17-story tower characterized by its unique teardrop-shaped footprint with six curved sides. Designed to house a variety of functions, the building includes parking facilities, spacious lobby areas, a lecture hall, conference rooms, and last but not least, wet bench research laboratories.

The interoperability between structural engineering tools plays a key role in the success of infrastructure projects. In the following case, IDEA StatiCa and Checkbot helped CSF Consulting to save 900-man hours.

Checkbot worked as a translator to communicate between STAAD.Pro and IDEA StatiCa connection, transferring hundreds of nodes and thousands of load combinations, avoiding any load input errors. The structural design process started in STAAD.Pro, where the global structure was analyzed and designed. Using the Checkbot app within STAAD, the entire structure can be imported into Checkbot. Finally, IDEA StatiCa will open every node with the geometry and load combinations where the connection can be modeled and designed.

The following article shows how CSF Consulting took advantage of the interoperability in a Natural Gas plant structural design.

El Queens Wharf Skydeck fue diseñado para convertirse en el destino obligado de quienes buscan vistas espectaculares de Brisbane. Situado a 100 metros sobre el río Brisbane, una vez terminado, el Skydeck ofrecerá una plataforma de observación al aire libre y un espacio público entre las torres del complejo Queens Wharf, con vistas panorámicas del río, los parques de South Bank y el perfil de la ciudad.

La estructura, compuesta por cuatro torres atravesadas por tres puentes de celosía de acero, presenta una geometría compleja. Gracias a IDEA StatiCa, Dallas Lee, ingeniero principal del Robert Bird Group, y su equipo obtuvieron la flexibilidad precisa que necesitaban para modelar los nodos tridimensionales de las cerchas con precisión, seguridad y eficacia.

By leveraging IDEA StatiCa, KPFF Consulting Engineers successfully designed a photovoltaic canopy structure for the Napa Valley Transit Authority that not only met their sustainability goals but also adhered to rigorous engineering standards, ensuring safety and durability for years to come. This project stands as a testament to the effectiveness of integrating advanced engineering software with innovative design solutions in achieving sustainable infrastructure development.

Designing the UK’s first plug-in shore-side cruise ship terminal, the British company REIDsteel used IDEA StatiCa for detailed connections analysis. Automatic calculation of hundreds of steel-to-steel and steel-to-glulam connections enabled REIDsteel to quickly assess both rigidity and cost of each connection type and suggest the most effective designs, saving their client time and money.

Stability Engineering, a leading structural engineering firm in Georgia, USA, used IDEA StatiCa to design a steel tree-like structure of HSS connections that were outside the code's applicability limits.

CRAFT Engineering Studio worked closely with Selldorf Architects on this single-family residence.
The project consists of three different buildings – the main house, garage, and pool house.
With an open architectural design and unpropped balcony, the two-story building of the main house sits on a steep bluff overlooking the ocean, exposing it to high winds and introducing numerous challenges in terms of the structural design of the vertical and lateral load resisting systems.
Originally conceived in steel, both the client and architect wished to move to a predominantly wood solution.

The former Diamant fair (De Diamantbeurs) in Amsterdam, from now on Capital C, has been restored to its old glory after a radical renovation. This national monument has not only been returned to its original shape, but it has now also a new special roof topping made from glass and steel. A design by well-known architectural office ZJA Zwarts & Jansma Architects, structural design by Octatube.
