EXAMPLE 9. INTEGRATED EXAMPLES OF FLAT PLATES

EXAMPLE 9 - FLAT PLATES 32 INCOMING 1 REGISTRANT 2 INCOMING 4 REGISTERED 3 The Thickness and Coating of the panel are either taken into account automatically or modified by the User by selecting the corresponding option and defining the corresponding values for the thickness and coating of the upper and lower panel (here the thickness of the drop panel is taken). In the Reinforcements field, the longitudinal reinforcement resulting from the calculation of the Flat Plates in the area of the selected column is specified. With the Automatic selection the longitudinal reinforcement is taken into account: - Upper for positive (+DN) (e.g. top floor slab) - Down for DN negative (-DN) (e.g. foundation) The External X or Y option determines the direction of the external reinforcement in the longitudinal reinforcement grid the slab (either upper or lower grid).
