ESPRI 2020 (Engineering Assistance Package) is a set of reference and calculation programs for the day-to-day needs of civil and structural engineers
ESPRI software package contains programs (modules) that enable you to carry out computer-aided analyses for a wide range of tasks in design, engineering and research fields of construction.
Since all modules of the package are very user-friendly and calculation procedure requires minimum amount of time, ESPRI may be successfully applied for different purposes, such as: generating design model of the structure, evaluation of analysis results, expert appraisal of projects and technical supervision during erection of the structure.
ESPRI may be essential in many situations that require evaluation of real structures behaviour during erection, reconstruction, design procedure and supervision for their maintenance.
ESPRI helps the user in the routine work and provides the user with support to come up with an optimal solution. Modules of ESPRI program are significant supplement to the more powerful software for civil and structural engineering – LIRA-FEM and MONOMAKH-SAPR.
ESPRI contains 85 reference and calculation programs. The programs in the package are organized into modules according to subject in consideration: mathematics; static and dynamic analyses, reinforced concrete structures, steel structures, foundations, etc. The rest of programs are presented separately.
ESPRI package contains different chapters (Mathematics for engineer, Sections, Statics/Dynamics/Stability, Steel structures, Reinforced concrete (RC) structures, Masonry & masonry reinforcing, Foundations and beddings, Loads and actions, Punching shear, Prestressing) and modules (Deflections, Ellipsoid, Sheet piling, Diaphragm, TOSTER, Soil).

 Ellipsoid
Bearing Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Elements.
The module enables you to generate surface (incorrect ellipsoid) of ultimate forces for the specified arbitrary RC section with arbitrary located rebars of different diameter. Every point of surface of such ellipsoid corresponds to one of many sets N, Mx, My, that describes ultimate state of section. The user could define point K with certain coordinates Nk, Mxk, Myk and obtain sections (incorrect ellipsoids) that pass through this point. |
 Sheet Piling
Sheet Piling.
The module is meant to design sheeting for foundation pit. Design model is considered as plane and consists of soil, elements of sheet piling and its anchorage. The user defines dimensions of soil, soil properties, dimensions of foundation pit and levels of trenching, loads on soil surface, dimensions and material properties for sections of sheet piling and anchors, and pretension force in anchorage. Calculation is made sequentially by stages. At the first stage the program calculates complete model (with no anchors) on dead weight and specified load. Then number of stages is determined automatically and depends on specified levels of trenching and levels of anchorage. During the calculation procedure, displacements are accumulated at nodes, stresses – at elements of soil and forces – in sheet piling and anchorage by stages. Output data is presented as contour plots of displacements and stresses in soil, forces in sheet piling and anchors at every stage. |  |
 Diaphragm
Strength of RC Diaphragm in Earthquake Loads.
The module enables you to estimate shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) diaphragms in earthquake and cyclic loads. The program realizes method of ultimate equilibrium as well as empirical methods for calculation of ultimate strength of RC diaphragms with cracks:
• method of UBC (Uniform Building Code, USA);
• dependencies of Barda F., Hanson J., Corley G. (American Concrete Institute, Detroit);
• dependencies of Hernandez O.B., Zermeno M.E. (WCCE, Istanbul);
• dependencies of Tassios T., Lefas J., Lulurgas S. (Greece – USSR, joint research);
• dependencies of Hirosawa M (Building Research Institute, Japan);
• dependencies of ATC-3 (Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Concrete Buildings, Applied Technology Council);

Cyclicity of earthquake load is taken into account by idealized model of hysteresis in RC walls. Strength zone for diaphragm is generated by dependencies N~Q and N~M. |
 Punching shear
Punching Shear for Arbitrary Contour.
The module enables you to carry out punching shear analysis of RC slabs under concentrated load and concentrated moments in two planes. Shape of arbitrary punching shear contour is determined automatically and depends on section type of column. The following column sections are supported: circle, rectangular, T-section, angle and cross. Dimensions of contour are calculated depending on the specified slope angle of faces in punching shear pyramid. By default, this angle is equal to 45 degrees. Closed contour (if there is an opening in slab or the column is located at the edge of slab) is generated by cutting off appropriate part from the contour. Cut-off part is simulated with straight line that passes through point with specified coordinates and with the specified slope angle to horizontal plane.
Punching Shear for Rectangular Contour.
The module enables you to carry out punching shear analysis of RC slabs under concentrated load and concentrated moments in two planes. For rectangular punching shear contour, only several design situations are available:
- column inside the slab (closed contour);
- column at one of the slab edges;
- column at corner of rectangular slab (open contour);
- column inside the slab near the opening (open contour).
For the slab and wall, the following situations are available:
- wall end inside slab (open contour of three parts);
- wall end at slab edge (open contour of two parts);
- slab at corner of wall (open contour of three parts).
Both modules support the following building codes: DSTU 3760-98, SNIP 2.01.03-84*, SNIP 52-01-2003, Eurocode 2.

 SOIL
Moduli C1 and C2 according to Soil Model.
The module enables you to calculate subgrade moduli C1 and C2 from 3D soil model. Soil model is generated by specified set of boreholes, their geologic properties and location.
The program generates contour plots of settlements, subgrade moduli and other parameters. Subgrade moduli C1 and C2 are calculated by several methods for Fuss-Winkler and Pasternak soil models. It is possible to consider in which way current structure (structure under consideration) influences the neighbouring structures. Skews of foundations in the existing structures are computed. The following building codes are supported: SP 22.13330.2011, SP 24.13330.2011 and DBN V.2.1-10:2009.

Contours of loads may have arbitrary shape. Loads from designed and/or neighbouring buildings may be applied to natural and/or pile beddings. For group of piles, settlement is calculated as for equivalent footing. Depth of compressible stratum, subgrade moduli C1 and C2 are determined within the specified contours of loads.
