• IS 800: 2007 (India)
  Indian Standard. General construction in steel – Code of practice (Third Revision).
  
  Implemented in Continuous beams (as of the 2013.a version). This code was already implemented in other CYPE programs.
• NTC: 14-01-2008 (Italy)
  Norme tecniche per le construzioni.
  
  Implemented in Continuous beams (as of the 2013.a version). This code was already implemented in other CYPE programs.

Cold-formed steel code

• ABNT NBR 14762:2010 (Brazil)
  Norma Brasileira ABNT NBR 14762 (2010). Dimensionamento de estruturas de aço constituídas por perfis formados a frio – Procedimento.
  
  Implemented in Continuous beams (as of the 2013.a version). This code was already implemented in other CYPE programs.
• NTC: 14-01-2008 (Italy)
  Norme tecniche per le construzioni.
  
  Implemented in Continuous beams (as of the 2013.a version). This code was already implemented in other CYPE programs.

Code regarding loads on structures. Wind loads

• BS 6399-2:1997 (United Kingdom)
  British Standard. Loading for buildings. Part 2: Code of practice for wind loads.
  
  Implemented in CYPECAD (as of the 2013.a version).
• Eurocode 1 (Singapore)
  Eurocode 1: Actions on structures – Part 1-4: General actions – Wind actions. SS EN 1991-1-4:2005 /NA:2009.
  
  Implemented in CYPECAD (as of the 2013.a version).
• NEC – 11 (Ecuador)
  Norma ecuatoriana de la construcción.
  
  Implemented in CYPECAD (as of the 2013.a version).
• RSAEEP (China – Macau)
  Regulamento de Segurança e Acções em Estruturas de Edificios e Pontes. Decreto – Lei n.º 56/96/M, Boletim Oficial n.º: 38/1996 Capítulo III – Acção de vento.
  
  Implemented in CYPECAD (as of the 2013.a version).

Code regarding loads on structures. Seismic loads

• CSCR 2010 (Costa Rica)
  Código Sísmico de Costa Rica 2010.
  
  Implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D (as of the 2013.a version). CYPECAD allows for this code to be used for a dynamic analysis (modal spectral) or static analysis (equivalent lateral force). The dynamic analysis in CYPECAD includes the base shear check.

Improvements in code application

Rolled, welded and cold-formed steel code

• EAE (Spain)
  Instrucción de Acero Estructural
  
  This code was already implemented in CYPE programs as of the 2012.c version. The 2013.a version includes the corrections of the errors of the EAE, published in the Boletín Official del Estado number 150, of the 23rd June 2012, which affects the design carried out by CYPE programs.

Code regarding loads on structures. Seismic loads

• Static analysis and correction due to base shear of the design codes of Morocco, Mexico and Costa Rica (as of the 2013.a version).
  
  
  • CFE 2008 (Mexico): Manual de Diseño de Obras Civiles. Diseño por Sismo.
    
    
  • NTC-2004 (Mexico): Normas Técnicas Complementarias para Diseño por Sismo..
    
    
  • CSCR 2010 (Costa Rica): Código Sísmico de Costa Rica 2010.
    
    
  • RPS 2000 (Morocco): Règlement de Construction Parasismique (It was already implemented for RPS 2011 in the 2012.m version)
    
    
  These codes were already implemented as of previous versions for CYPECAD and Metal 3D with the dynamic analysis method (modal spectral) which proposes each of them (except CSCR 2010 of Costa Rica which has been implemented in the 2013.a version).
  
  The 2013.a version of CYPECAD includes for these codes:
  
  
  • A static analysis method (equivalent lateral force)
    The analysis method (static or dynamic) is carried out using the Analysis method option within the dialogue box where seismic loading is defined.
  • Correction due to base shear
    This correction is applied to seismic design using the dynamic analysis method (modal spectral).
    
    
• Correction due to base shear for the Chilean code (as of the 2013.a version)
  
  
  • NCh433.Of1996 Mod.2009 (Dºnº61. De 2011) (Chile): Norma Chilena Oficial. Diseño Sísmico de Edificios. Includes modifications of the Decreto nº 61 (V. and U.) of 2011.
    
    
  This code was already implemented as of previous versions for CYPECAD and Metal 3D with the dynamic analysis method (modal spectral) it proposes.
  
  The 2013.a version of CYPECAD includes the correction due to base shear for this code.
  
  
• Static analysis for Eurocode 8 (EU) and Eurocode 8 (Belgium) (as of the 2013.a version)
  
  
  • Eurocode 8 (EU): Design of structures for earthquake resistance

  This code was already implemented as of previous versions for CYPECAD  and Metal 3D with the dynamic analysis method (modal spectral) it proposes.
  
  The 2013.a version of CYPECAD includes for these codes: A static analysis method (equivalent lateral force) for these codes. The analysis method (static or dynamic) is chosen using the Analysis method option within the dialogue box where seismic loading is defined.
