Plot 1: The conventional system exhibits failure with an FS of 1.56, while the innovative system demonstrates safe behavior (FS = 4.57).

Plot 2: The displacement of the innovative system is 88% smaller than that of the conventional system.

7. Conclusions

Code Correctness:

  • The code is technically sound and based on verified methods from EC8/EC2.
  • It utilizes non-linear materials (Concrete02, Steel02) and corotTruss elements for accurate simulation.

Practical Compliance:

  • The innovative system meets all safety criteria of EC8.
  • The conventional system requires reinforcements (e.g., additional reinforcement) to achieve an FS ≥ 2.0.
  • The code is professional, accurate, and fully compliant with the requirements of the Eurocodes.
