Web designing in a powerful way of just not an only professions. We have tendency to believe the idea that smart looking .
ProtaStructure can design formworks and formwork scaffolds for structural members and produce detailed drawings with ease. Formworks are automatically typed with considering similar members and their quantity take-off tables can be created. In addition, with using 3D Formwork Views, you can produce high quality visuals for application and presentation. Current implementation covers only Turkey code. […]
The purpose of this document is to outline the steps to verify reinforced concrete column design using the capacity curve, or commonly referred to as N-M (Axial-Moment) Interactive Diagram using Eurocode 2 and BS8110. The N-M Interaction Diagram will be derived using empirical formulas of concrete stress block. This is then compared to the same […]
Utilizing base reinforcement in the entire floor and calculating additional support bars at column regions is a powerful method for economical and practical design. This is one of the many things that you can do by taking advantage of the advanced capabilities of ProtaStructure Suite! For the design of beam-slab, flat slab, rib/waffle slab and […]

This training guide is for ProtaStructure version 2026 & 2022. […]
Designing of Pad Footings with ProtaStructure is very easy. We present ProtaStructure Pad Footing Design to TS500 to your attention with the hope that it will be useful. You can find this guide as a PDF file in the attachment.
ProtaStructure can reflect the effects of vertical earthquake action in design by providing two methods: Approximate Static Approach Modal Spectrum Analysis Method In Approximate Static Approach, vertical vibration modes and a dedicated vertical spectrum are not considered. Instead, the result from gravity load case is multiplied by a fraction of horizontal spectral acceleration. In Modal […]
This design guide discusses the Differential Axial Deformation Effect (DADE) of columns and walls due to 3D analysis of multi storey buildings. The methods to reduce this effect using stiffness adjustment (Area Factor) & FE Floor Analysis are explored. Users who find unexpected force diagram of a multi-storey building, especially bending moments in top storey […]
The “Nonlinear Analysis” feature in ProtaStructure enables the user to perform nonlinear analysis methods such as Pushover Analysis and Time-History Analysis. In the attached documents, target displacement calculation for nonlinear pushover analysis according to FEMA 356 3.3.3.3.2 and EC8 Annex B will be explained in detail and verified with the hand calculation.
ProtaStructure automatically calculates the elastic and design acceleration spectra according to international seismic codes, using a highly parametric UI that encapsulates the code-specific parameters in a user-friendly manner, enabling users to customize them to fulfill their project requirements. In addition to this, ProtaStructure also allows user-defined acceleration spectra to be used in cases where a […]
ProtaStructure 2026 introduces a powerful new feature that simplifies the design and analysis of concrete pedestals under steel columns. Users can seamlessly insert pedestals, define their dimensions effortlessly, and integrate them into structural models for optimal design workflows. When a base plate is specified beneath the steel column, the system automatically detects the presence of […]
