ASDIP Project Manager – The Core of the Software

By: Javier Encinas, PE | May 27, 2020 ASDIP is an engineering software for structural member design. When ASDIP opens, a window pops up showing a menu bar and a tool bar at the top, some buttons at the left, and a tree view at the right. This is the ASDIP Project Manager, as shown in the picture below. This blog post covers the purpose and capabilities of this important part of ASDIP software. What is the purpose of the Project Manager? In ASDIP software all project information, including calculations, settings, preferences, etc, is stored in a single project file. [...]

Continuous Beam Design Using ASDIP CONCRETE

By: Javier Encinas, PE | April 27, 2020 ASDIP CONCRETE is a structural engineering software for design of concrete members. It includes the design of multi-span continuous beams based on the latest ACI 318 provisions. Following is an overview of the steps required to design continuous beams using ASDIP CONCRETE. 1. Specify the beam geometry ASDIP CONCRETE supports different types of beams according to the shape of the cross section. In the Geometry tab select the beam type, either Rectangular, T-beam, Spandrel, Inverted-T, or L-beam. This is important to determine the bending capacity correctly. Enter the dimensions of the section [...]

How to Model Steel Columns in ASDIP FOUNDATION

By: Javier Encinas, PE | April 14, 2020 ASDIP FOUNDATION is a structural engineering software for footing design, such as spread, strap, combined, and wall footings, as well as pile caps. Usually footings support either concrete of steel columns, and sometimes a steel column is on top of a pedestal. But how does this affect the design of the footing? This article discusses the different scenarios of a typical footing subject to a combination of vertical and horizontal loads, and how to model steel columns in ASDIP FOUNDATION. Where are the column reactions applied? The first image below shows the [...]

Concrete Column Design – Structural Overview

By: Javier Encinas, PE | March 31, 2020 ASDIP CONCRETE includes the design of concrete columns. This structural engineering software is based on the latest ACI 318 provisions. This article is a structural overview of concrete column design when subject to axial loads and bending moments. Columns are structural compression members which transmit loads from the upper floors to the lower levels and then to the soil through the foundations. Since columns are supporting elements, failure of one column in a critical location can cause the progressive collapse of adjoining floors. Normally columns are subject to combined bending and axial load. These [...]

Beam Stirrups Design Example Using ASDIP CONCRETE

By: Javier Encinas, PE | February 26, 2020 ASDIP CONCRETE is a structural engineering software for design of concrete members. It includes the design of multi-span continuous beams based on the latest ACI 318 provisions. The design of concrete beams involves the calculation of shears for the factored load combinations. These forces in turn must be smaller than the provided design shear strength at any point of the beam, and in addition the design must comply with a number of code limitations. This document shows how to design the stirrups along a typical concrete beam using ASDIP CONCRETE. How do [...]
