EXAMPLE 1. NEW BUILDING DESIGN FROM REINFORCED CONCRETE

EXAMPLE 1: 'REINFORCED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION STUDY' 43 Select " Match model sides " and the plate. The rectangle or triangle that appears is the mathematical model of the equivalent plate. You select the side of the mathematical model of the plate (a coloured dot appears on it), and then the physical members you want to assign to this side of the mathematical model of the plate (a dot of the same colour appears). Complete the mapping to one side by right-clicking, and continue the process for the remaining sides of the mathematical model. Finally, you map each vertex of the equivalent rectangle (which is denoted by a triangle) to points in the physical model so that the lengths of the sides of the mathematical model are also reduced to the physical ones, so that the loads of the equivalent plate will be distributed to the actual lengths of the physical members. The matching is done by first selecting the vertex of the mathematical model and then pointing the mouse to its new position. The process is repeated for the remaining 3 vertices of the mathematical model without cancelling with the right mouse button. command displays the results of the general plate checks. If there are any errors, correct the plates before proceeding. Repeat the command after the slab loads have been assigned to ensure that they were assigned correctly. 3.2 How to create a slab with gaps: From the " Find " field select " Plates with Gaps " and click on the plate. In the dialog box, select the type and write the width of the compact zone. Click on " Pick ". To place a compact band, first select one side (the beam to which it will be parallel) and then the slab. The line that appears is the inner boundary of the compact zone. Repeat for all compact zones. To place a solid belt of a different width, right-click and the dialog box reopens. Modify the width and continue as before until the last belt is placed. Right click to finish. The window opens again. Fill in the remaining fields concerning the plate (*5) and the widths of the beams and gaps, and click " OK ". (*6) (*5) hs: total thickness of the plate ho: thickness of the upper solid part of the plate
