A structural design and representation library. Documentation can be viewed [here](https://limitstates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html).

# Overview
limitstates is a python library that can represent and design structural 
elements according to code and material standards from various countries. Limit states has two main components: 
a set of classes that representations structural objects, e.g. A Ibeam that is 6m long made or steel; 
and design libraries that can act on elements and determine capacities, e.g. Canada's CSA s16 2024 steel material standard.
**Limitstates is currently incomplete and in public beta testing.**
**Expect breaking changes before the first version release.**

A simple script is shown below where a structural object is created and used.


```Python
import limitstates as ls
import limitstates.design.csa.s16.c24 as s16

L = 6
Fy = 350
sectionName = 'W310X118'

# Define the material, in this case a code specific steel with Fy = 350 MPa
mat = s16.MaterialSteelCsa24(Fy, sUnit='MPa')

# Define a steel section from a database, in this case a cisc 12 w section.
steelSections   = ls.getSteelSections(mat, 'csa', 'cisc_12', 'w')
section         = ls.getByName(steelSections, sectionName)

# make a member, in this case a simplely supported beam 6m long beam.
member = ls.initSimplySupportedMember(L, 'm')

# Make a element, which the design library can act on.
beam = s16.BeamColumnSteelCsa24(member, section)

# Check capacity assuming it's laterally supported using CSA's s16 standard.
Mr = s16.checkBeamMrSupported(beam) / 1000
```

# Installation

`
pip install limitstates
`

# Library Organization
There are four main parts of the limitstates library: units, objects, design, analysis.

The units library is a light-weight module for unit conversions. 
All structural objects in the limitstates libary are dependant on the unit library for conversions. 
See [units api reference](https://limitstates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rst/units.html) for more detail.

The objects library contains generic classes that represent and manipulate structural elements. 
Members of the object library are not specific to any code, for example a W530x150 cross section has the same geometry for American and Canadian codes.
See the [objects api reference](https://limitstates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rst/objects.html) for more detail.

The design library contains specialized objects for a particular design code, and functions that act on them. 
For example,   "BeamColumnSteelCsa24" is a code specific implementations of the generic "BeamColumn" class, 
and the function "checkBeamMrSupported", acts on it to determine a sections unsupported moment. 
Design libraries are divided by country and material standard. Currently, content only exists for Canadian design codes.
See [design api reference](https://limitstates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rst/design.html) for more detail.

The Analysis library will contain functions that act on structural objects to analyze them. The analysis Library is a work in progress. 

# Deveopment Roadmap
Version one of limitstates will release when the library can design most major elements in canadian design codes, and the core objects can handle American/EU design codes. 
The specific items required for version 1 are below:

### Object Library
- [ ] Create a section element for reinforced concrete
- [ ] Improve section and material database documentation
- [ ] Support plotting for concrete elements / sections
- [ ] Support plotting for CLT elements / sections
- [ ] Add section summary to section plotting
- [ ] Add an generic design example showing how database can be used.

### Design

#### CSA o86
- [ ] Add Examples.
- [ ] Add beam shear checks.

#### CSA S16
- [ ] Develop multi-span beam checks.
- [ ] Add beam shear checks.

#### CSA A23.3
- [ ] Complete code checks for basic concrete beams in moment/shear.
- [ ] Add section solvers for concrete that can determine steel required based on input capacities.
- [ ] Complete code checks for basic concrete columns in compression / bending.
- [ ] Complete code checks for basic concrete columns in compression / bending with slenderness effects.
- [ ] Add examples for basic concrete checks
- [ ] Add examples for concrete in compression

#### US/EU Standards
- [ ] Ensure all basic design objects are compatible with US codes and units.
