EXAMPLE 1. NEW BUILDING DESIGN FROM REINFORCED CONCRETE

EXAMPLE 1: 'REINFORCED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION STUDY' 42 With the command " Find ">" Total " the program automatically detects all closed contours present on the level and automatically enters all the slabs of the floor. Each slab is displayed with a symbol indicating the number of the slab, its thickness resulting from the greater of the minimum thickness you have specified in the parameters and the thickness resulting from the looseness check, as well as the support conditions, The symbols for the support conditions in the plate symbol are : - Thin line with vertical lines which means continuity of plates, i.e. foothold. - Thick line meaning no continuity i.e. articulation. - Dotted line meaning free end. In the case of a randomly shaped plate, notice that in the plate symbol a question mark "?" appears in place of the "P" on the plate. To solve it you need to model it, i.e. define another plate, rectangular, or rectangular with a slope, or triangular, equivalent to the first one. Select the " Modeling " command and one of the three definitions. Left-click inside the random shape plate to select it and set the equivalent plate: - If it is Rectangular: Left-click on the first vertex of the diagonal, hold down the mouse button, and click again on the second vertex of the diagonal. - If it is Rectangular sloped: select one side of the slab for parallelism. Click on the first vertex of the diagonal, hold down the mouse button, and click again on the second vertex of the diagonal. - If it is Triangular: Left-click on the three corners of the triangle. Finally, you must define the correspondences of the sides of the equivalent plate with those of the real plate. This procedure is used to assign the members of the physical model of the plates to the sides of the mathematician to be solved.
