Software craftsmanship in the built environnement Towards a fully digital modelling of steel structural joints at ULS Luciano TosiniSTRAINS, Paris, France
Structural joints design at ULS • Analytical code based formula when possible • Loss of the “physical” sense • Loss of the digital workflow • Finite element model, with non linear behaviour • Time consuming • Computation problems
Something old: limit analysis Hypotheses: • All materials have reached their limit (cf. criterion) • All materials allow ductility Codes use the concepts of limit analysis: • Definition of yield lines • Failure mechanisms
Something new: digital methods • Interior point algorithms to solve optimisation problems • Cloud Computing • 3D Modelling in a web browser

Conclusion/Cultivate debate… • Next brick? • Reinforced concrete… • How this method compatible with codes? • Why do we need new methods for structural analysis?
