An Advanced Finite Element Solution
SCADA Pro Flat Slab
It can operate independently or fully integrated with SCADA Pro Structural Analysis and Design software
Brief Description
SCADA Pro Flat Slab module for analysis and design is an advanced finite element solution that can operate independently or fully integrated with SCADA Pro Structural Analysis and Design software.
Key Features
Generates a true 3D model of an entire concrete building – detailed FEM analysis
Supports import and export of various file and model formats (DWG/DXF file, ETABS/SAP2000 model, IFC file)
Generates buildings with complex details such as elevated floors and foundations containing different slab regions, walls, beams, columns, drop panels and openings
Easy to draw support lines anywhere on slab – even for complex geometries
Automatically accounts for all critical design sections – different approach between column/middle strips
Graphical display of total bending moment diagram for a design strip
Performs code check and reports the location and amount of reinforcement needed for concrete design codes (Eurocode 2 and Saudi Building Code)
Automatic generation of code based load combinations as well as user specified combinations
Tabular and graphical display of design results
Rebar calculations for any slab – Automatic enveloping and rebar detailing – DWG/DXF export
Calculates and checks punching shear stresses and designs shear stud or stirrup reinforcing
Special Features of Flat Slab Flexural Analysis and Design
Self-weight of slabs is automatically calculated and may be optionally excluded in the analysis
Special code considerations are taken into account:
How drop panels affect column strip width
Reinforcement concentration over a column
Difference in concentration width of side/corner columns to internal columns
Limitation of upper reinforcement over a side/corner column – simultaneous increase of span reinforcement
Strip width calculation for support lines even at the edge of a slab
Allows user to modify typical top and bottom reinforcement mesh and rebar
Special Features of Punching Shear Design
Automatic computation of all the parameters important for the punching shear checks:
type of column (i.e. internal column, side column, corner column or reentrant column)
loading data of the most severe loading case and combination
correct side of the slab concerning longitudinal reinforcement and slab cover (e.g. different choice for a floor slab vs. a foundation slab)
an equivalent rectangular shape for columns of arbitrary section shape
User freedom to choose different values for all the parameters incorporated in the design – providing unlimited capabilities
Two types of reinforcement arrangement compatible to the code proposed ones (radial arrangement vs. cruciform arrangement)
Easy to interpret tabular format of results – fully compliant to the code regulations
Graphical visualization of the rebar arrangement – can be interpreted both in stirrups or stud rails use
Available for both 32-bit & 64-bit Windows
