GSA Building

building_swiss_re.png

GSA building is the complete solution for the design and analysis of buildings whether it is a tall structure or a complex iconic building, GSA provides all the tools you need.

GSA Building builds on the power of GSA Analysis and adds steel and concrete design, footfall and soil-structure interaction analysis. GSA Building is also fully integrated with Revit Structure. Click here for further details.

Examples of GSA Building in action include the Swiss Re building, Heathrow Terminal 5, The national Assembly for Wales, CCTV Building Beijing and 222 Leadenhall Street.

Reinforced Concrete Slab & Wall Design

Having analysed your flat slab or shear wall, why design the reinforcement by hand? GSA designs the reinforcement for you directly from the analysis results to British, American, European, Australian and Hong Kong codes, saving you time and money.

GSA calculates the areas of steel as required to graphical contours or text output requested by the user, using the input data and analysis results to perform the calculations.

Design of reinforced concrete slabs and walls to:

  • Australian: AS 3600-2001
  • Eurocode: EN 1992-1-1:2004 Eurocode 2 - General, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, & United Kingdom
  • Hong Kong: Hong Kong Code of Practice 1987, 2004, & 2004(AMD1)
  • UK: BS 8110-1:1985, 1997, & 1997 (Revised 2005); BS 5400
  • US: ACI 318 & 318M - 02 & 05, and ACI 318-08

Steel Member Design

Frame analysis usually requires you to chop your beams and columns up into elements; GSA puts them back together again and designs them to UK and US codes. Make your steel structure work hard, not you.

Design of steel members to:

  • UK: BS 5950-1:2000
  • US: AISC LRFD3
  • Generic: Stress check

Raft soil-structure interaction analysis

GSA Building also allows you to combine the power of GSA with Vdisp, the non-linear soil settlement program from our geotechnical suite to analyse the soil-structure interaction of the GSA raft or frame. This performs an iterative analysis using the GSS and Vdisp solvers. Note that this does not require you to install Vdisp.

Footfall analysis

GSA Building also includes the Footfall module. GSA Footfall is the only program available that allows you to analyse any structure for footfall analysis, whether an irregular floor, a bridge or a staircase, whether concrete, steel, or composite. Further information can be found here.

See the functional specification for full details of what GSA can do for you.
