6. SLABS

CHAPTER 6 "SLABS" 6 For Greece, the most common type of slab is the solid type. The program automatically inserts solid slabs, giving the user the possibility to modify them at will. 1.2.1 Overall Automatic insertion of solid slabs, in all closed contours of the active floor. 1.2.2 Selectively Selective insertion of solid plates, by left-clicking inside closed contours. After inserting a slab, its symbol appears with relevant information: its number and its thickness in cm (the largest value between the minimum value you set and the one obtained by checking the bending arrow), in a little circle. Around the circle, lines are shown representing the support conditions of the plate: • Thick line: continuity of plates, hence footing. • Thin line: discontinuity of plates, hence joint. • Without line: free edge (in case of balconies). OBSERVATION: The ? inside the plate symbol indicates that the plate has not been rendered correctly and needs "Modeling".
