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
