OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE ASSISTANT OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN PROCESS IN ETABS, APPLYING COLOMBIAN SEISMIC NORMATIVE NSR-10.

Abstract

In the academic and professional field of civil engineering, software development is essential for efficiency and precision in structural design of buildings. In this context, an open-source software is created that acts as an assistant in structural design using ETABS as the main tool, to improve efficiency and precision in the design process, applying the Colombian standard NSR-10. As a result, an exemplary report of a beam design with special energy dissipation capacity is generated. This type of software allows civil engineers to have access to a quality tool, adaptable to their specific needs, leading to better performance in their work and greater competitiveness in the market.
