6. SLABS

CHAPTER 6 "SLABS" 21 • The first section " General " contains general information about the plate such as: its number, the type of plate (Compact or Zoellner or Composite). The thickness in cm is then indicated • The field refers to the solid plates and to update the changes of the plate type, press the button and finally the same weight in KN/m2. OBSERVATION: It makes sense and you can change the type of plate from Zoellner to solid. From the above fields you cannot modify the type (Two Addresses) (read only field). • The next section " Zoellner-Sandwitch-Mixed " is activated and concerns the Zoellner plate elements. There are and you can modify the fields of total thickness, top and bottom solid part of the plate as well as the dimensions of the spacers and gaps. • The last section deals with the geometry of the plate. Specifically, the dimensions of the plate L1 and L2 are given as well as the load distribution coefficients qL1-1 and qL2-1 (Marcus coefficients). OBSERVATION: The Marcus coefficients present in the fields "qL1-2" and "qL2-2" refer only to three- dimensional plate. In all other cases they are 0.
