Blumatica Ponteggi Calcolo Strutturale
Blumatica Scaffolding Structural Calculation is software for performing strength and stability calculations of scaffolding, in accordance with the current Technical Standards (NTC 2018 with ultimate limit state calculation method).
Why choose it
Complete customisation of element information with the possibility of modifying type, material, diameters, thicknesses and loads.
Modification of all anchor characteristics in terms of geometry, anchors, support, etc.
Modification of all characteristics of bases in terms of geometry, support, etc.
Integrated management, calculation and editing of the scaffold with the possibility of identifying and modifying in real time what is required to complete the structural verification.
Verification of the pressure on the support surface by indicating the material in the abutment properties.
Features
Strength and stability calculations
Strength and stability calculations with detailed verification of all elements of the scaffolding, drawn up in accordance with the Technical Standards in force NTC2018 using the ultimate limit state verification method, including special and complex cases (carriageway beams, overhangs, irregular spans, double uprights, protection nets, advertising panels, dynamic loads, etc.).
FEM model
Blumatica considers the actual geometric position of the elements and their respective nodes.
Other software generates a simplified FEM model that is NOT realistic; in fact, the beams and crossbars are considered to converge at the same node, effectively changing their position and therefore not respecting the actual geometry.
Rigorous calculation: with the FEM model generated, the software performs the calculation rigorously and takes misalignments into account.
This involves the introduction of an additional bending moment with respect to an axial load, which is considered in the calculation of stresses.
The software calculates the interaction between the axial and bending stresses resulting from the misalignment, taking into account the strength of the material and the geometric characteristics of the section.
Finally, the critical stresses are verified to ensure that the expected strength limits are not exceeded.
Scaffolding verification
Verification of scaffolding by entering standard loads and overloads as well as special static and dynamic loads, automatic generation of FEM models and remarkable diagrams.
Wind pressure and snow load
Analytical calculation of wind pressure and snow load. Input of standard as well as static and dynamic loads and overloads and automatic generation of load combinations.
Load Cells
The software allows the configuration and calculation of Load Castles, with orthogonal and parallel insertion to the scaffold.
