Evaluation of ISDS software

<p>When we compare the results of the analyses from ISDS and FAP, we fmd that the results compare
very well, with almost negligible percentage difference.</p>
<p>
The results from the reinforced concrete design method and the design using ISDS also compare
very well. But, ISDS does not specify a few details such as:</p>
<p>1. How much positive moment steel in a beam or a slab must be extended into the supports and
up to what distance?
2. Anchorage requirements (in the form of hooks) for negative moment reinforcement in a beam,
slab or a shear wall. It simply mentions if anchorage is required or not.
3. What amount of minimum shear reinforcement is required for various structural elements such
as beams, columns, and slabs etc?
4. Size and spacing of ties in a column.
S. Cover for main and secondary (ties) reinforcing bars in various structural elements.
6. Class of splice when required.</p> / Master of Science
