Steel Standard Provisions Post-Processors

The purpose of the Standard Provision Post-processors is to investigate each steel frame member and restrained (fixed) beam-column joint for the stress and capacity requirements of the selected steel design specification. The specifications currently implemented are the AISC, Eurocode, CAN/CSA-S16-01, CAN/CSA S16-09, and BS 5950:1990 and 2000. Using Code-generated and/or user-defined load combinations the controlling interaction equation value is calculated for each member and the results displayed graphically. The stiffeners and web plate (doubler) required to resist moment-frame joint forces are also calculated and displayed graphically. In addition to the screen display, several output reports are also available.
