    AI Summary This session uses a real six-story project in West Java, Indonesia, to explain practical design decisions for Composite Steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC) structures beyond software analysis, including why SRC was selected, how MIDAS Gen and DESIGN+ support the workflow, how to work across ASCE 7, ACI 318, and AISC 360, and when RC column modeling can serve as an efficient, slightly conservative step before final SRC verification. 

    Description

    This session breaks down a real design challenge from a 6-story SRC composite building project in West Java, Indonesia, one of the most seismically active regions on earth. It's a candid, practical look at how a structural engineering team worked across MIDAS Gen and MIDAS Design+, two purpose-built tools each aligned with different design codes, and developed an efficient workflow to move between them for a composite structural system. Along the way, the team also confirms an important engineering principle: the software provides the calculation, but the engineer chooses the design basis. Whether you work with composite structures, seismic design, or want to see how real engineering decisions get made on a live project, this is a case study worth watching. 

    Key Points

    Designing an SRC (Steel Reinforced Concrete) composite moment frame for a high-seismicity building

    Choosing SRC over conventional steel or reinforced concrete, and why it matters

    Working with MIDAS Gen and MIDAS Design+, two tools aligned with different design codes, for a single composite structural system

    Applying three governing codes, ASCE 7, ACI 318, and AISC 360, each with its own design philosophy

    Developing an efficient workflow to streamline the design process across both tools

    Verifying that two different modeling approaches produce consistent, reliable results
