10B. DIMENSIONING PART 2/4

CHAPTER 10B 'DIMENSIONING' 74 Scada's default list of Layers includes the layers related to the Flat Plates. • In the "Flat Slab" layer, transfer the outline of the slab and correspond to the "Flat" layer • In the "Drop Panel" layer drag the Lines that define the area around the poles where you will increase the thickness of the panel locally. "Drop Panels" are optionally inserted around the poles of the slab relieving it to shear stress. • In the Layers "Support Lines xx" and "Support Lines zz" drag the Lines that define the Support Lines. These are lines that you insert in both the X and Z directions between successive points on the plate. They usually connect column nodes and end at the contour of the slab. Drop Panels and Support Lines Based on the Support Lines you define, the corresponding Loading Lanes will be created (design strips).
