While IDEA StatiCa is known for handling designs of complex connections and concrete D-regions for permanent structures, it is also suitable for the design and check of temporary structural elements. We will demonstrate how to design the supporting block for a sheet pile retaining wall for deep excavation works, including its reinforcement and the anchoring of the structure.
First, we will demonstrate the full workflow using the BIM links to transfer data from your global model in the FEA application (Robot Structural Analysis). We will show how to import the structure and calculated internal forces from Robot to Checkbot. Then open the anchoring node in the Connection app, design it, and check the steel part. And finally export the concrete block from Connection to Detail for its analysis.
In Detail 3D, we will focus on modeling a complex-shaped concrete block and on correctly interpreting results after analysis. We will show how to use negative volume elements and cutting operations to achieve the desired shape. You will learn how to reinforce such a concrete block with bars and stirr-ups and how to read the results of the analysis.
By attending this free webinar, you will:
- Discover the risk in designing temporary structures
- Learn how to model a complex-shaped concrete block
- Ensure all checks comply with the required codes
- Know how to do all this safely and superfast using the BIM links
