A Resistant-Based Comparative Study between Iranian Concrete Design Code and Some Worldwide Ones

The design in most counties should be inevitably carried out by their native code such as Iran. Since theIranian concrete code does not exist in structural design software, most engineers in this countryanalyze the structures using commercial software but design the structural members manually. Thispoint motivated us to make a communication between Iranian code and some other well-known ones tocreate facility for the engineers. Finally, this paper proposes the so-called interpretation charts whichhelp specify the position of Iranian code in comparison of some worldwide ones.
