BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING – Enter the Daliform BIM library

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) indicates a method for the design optimisation and for the constructions’ management and realization through a dedicated software.
The BIM objects aren’t simple three-dimensional models, but they bring with them all the useful information for the building’s project and construction.
The BIM is changing the way to realize and manage projects and the collaboration between the different members of the project’s team (architecture, engineering, technical equipment, facility management).
With the digital instruments BIM and the technical services offered by Daliform, the designer has the possibility to access to complete solutions for all the projects’ workflow.
From now, almost all our construction systems are available in the BIM format, on the BIMobject website, downloadable here: https://www.bimobject.com/en/product?brand=daliform-group

U-Boot® Beton Design Software is online

U-Boot® Beton Design Software is online: it is the ideal tool for designing of voided slabs without drop panels or drop beams.

The software meets all the needs of designers who deal with the study of the voided slabs with the U-Boot® Beton system of Daliform Group, providing them with all the necessary data to properly carry out the structural analysis of the slab designing:

– the geometric and inertial characteristics of the resistant cross-section;
– inertia and weight modifiers to consider in FEM Analysis for „plate” elements of the same thickness;
– resistant moment and shear resistant values;
– detailed and complete CAD cross sections which report all the information implemented by the user;
– a comprehensive report of all input and output data.

The Software is available here.

Published the first technical textbook on the two-way voided slabs with U-Boot® Beton system

At the conclusion of a project developed in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano started in 2013, Daliform Group is proud to announce the publication of an important technical textbook titled:
„Analysis and design of reinforced concrete voided slabs also subject to seismic actions. Using the U-Boot® Beton System”.

The book, published by Dario Flaccovio, is a practical technical manual addressed to all the consultants of the building sector that would like to learn more about the use of two-way voided slabs.

The study includes the results of an extensive experimental program conducted at the Polytechnic of Milan, which highlight the excellent bidirectional response of voided slabs and the efficient performance in the presence of seismic actions. The experimental results here presented are supported by advanced numerical models.

Overall, the results derived from physical and numerical experimentation form a solid basis for the understanding and design of voided slab systems for gravity and seismic loads.
