The new Eurocodes Starter Pack of Scia Engineer is offered to cover the needs of civil engineers who want to model, analyse and design typical frame, truss and similar structures made of steel and concrete according to the Eurocodes.
Structures designed with Frilo
Apartment building in MannheimThe project consists of an apartment building with an expanded attic, two upper floors, a ground floor and a basement with an integrated car park.
The ceiling above the garage has been attached to the reinforced walls of the ground floor. With regard to the load-bearing inner walls, which had to support the upper floors in reinforced concrete, only the central dividing wall between the two apartments and the reinforced concrete staircase walls were taken into account.
As Mannheim is situated in an “earthquake zone 1” and since the bracing walls were not running evenly through all levels, a seismic load analysis was necessary. First the horizontal seismic equivalent loads were calculated. Afterwards these loads were distributed according to the respective stiffnesses to the brick walls as well as to the reinforced concrete staircase walls and the elevator shaft walls using the “Windloads WL” program.
The building was entered in the FRILO program “Building Model” and immediately the load calculation, foundations included, was carried out. With regard to the design of structural elements, the data were transferred to the respective design programs. The reinforcement plans were drawn in Nemetschek Allplan and the final FEM results could be visualised in the CAD system.

Administrative building of the Unger GroupThe project relates to the office building of the Unger group in Weiden. It comprises a basement with integrated parking space, a ground floor and three upper floors. The plans presented a flat floor system without bearers for the upper storeys. The very slender columns had to be made of high-strength concrete.
In addition to the “Building” program, other programs, such as the “design program for plates with finite elements PLT” for the calculation of flat slabs and the “B5” program for the calculation of reinforced concrete columns, were used. The advantage of using the building model was not only the rapid calculation of loads but consisted more particularly in the link between the pre-dimensioning and the execution of the static calculation.
The formwork and reinforcement plans were drawn in Nemetschek Allplan. For large parts of the floor reinforcement the BAMTEC reinforcement system was used. As a result, columns with the shortest possible connection bars and, consequently, lower stirrups had to be designed in order to ensure smooth installation of the BAMTEC reinforcement elements.
