Once STRAP has completed the complex Finite Element (FE) analysis, you can export the isolated cracked beam into —ATIR's specialized 2D continuous beam design and detailing module. Automatic Beam Definition
Atir straps and beams are specialized components used in construction. The term "Atir" typically refers to a specific type of strap or tie used in building construction to enhance the lateral strength of walls and to ensure that they can withstand various forces, including those generated during earthquakes. These straps are usually made of steel and are integrated into the wall structure, often within the cavities of block or brick walls.
The finite element approach provides precise calculation of force redistribution, which is critical when a beam has already failed. Conclusion
Select the option from the side menu.
This is the core of the repair. The CFRP strap is wrapped around the beam in the high-stress zone identified by the software analysis.
