The beta version of eToolsEC is now available

The eTools® program comprises of a series of application tools based on the static and dynamic, elastic and inelastic analysis of the ΕΤΑΒS v8 and v9 by CSI. These tools have been developed based on the particular demands of the European market and specifically all the checks and verifications regarding the ductile seismic design of R/C buildings. The current manual introduces the tools that refer to reinforced concrete (RC) structures and unreinforced load-bearing masonry (URM) structures :

• Structure design checks according to EC8.
• Section design according to EC2 and EC8.
• Check of existing RC structures and strengthening.
• Check and strengthening of Unreinforced Load-bearing Masonry (URM) structures according to EC6.
• Preparation of the static inelastic analysis model according to the design procedures of the Eurocodes and FEMA 356.
