Dear All,
I am currently doing a building in ETABS. For columns how do I get the area for shear reinforcement. When I didn't the concrete frame design in ETABS I got the percentage for the main bars. But when I do for shear reinforcing the value is coming as Asv/s = 0.263 etc. What does this...
Dear all,
Can anybody give a detailed calculation for the design of basement wall. I am currently working on a project that has a basement floor. Kindly help me out.
Thank you for replying.
What do you mean by secondary span & primary span. The formulae that you have suggested is for immediate deflection rite? I read in Reynolds handbook, that the deflection should not be more than 20mm. So shall we follow that.
Hello Guys!!
Currently I am working on a project. Can anybody tell me how to calculate long term deflection for flat slab. I am working on SAFE12. As per BS 8110 what is the limit for long term deflection. I want to check if the thickness that I have provided is safe or over design. Please...
Greetings to all,
I am currently doing a design for a G+Mezanine+3floors+roof. Here I am using flat slab as the its a multi purpose building so the wall to wall doesn't match. Ground 7 mezzanine floors have lots of vacant space were as 1st to 3rd floors are accommodation. so there...
Dear All,
In ETABS while assigning the frame section we give certain values in SET Modifiers option. Especially for torsional constant, Moment of inertia abt 2 axis, Moment of inertia abt 3 axis.
On what basis do we give these values. For eg if am using a Column of size 200x600mm what...
What I meant is that we will get the stress value of the slab in ETABS but design part it is better to import to SAFE. We will get reinforcement details and also we could do the foundation design also
Well here normally what we do is that we create the building model in ETABS and we import the floor slab to the SAFE and we get the reinforcement. In ETABS we cannot do the Slab element.
Dear All,
I have doubt on importing a file from ETABS to SAFE. While doing this there are 3 options
1) Export Floor loads only
2)Export Floor loads & loads above
3)Export Floor loads plus column & wall distortions
what does these 3 options denote.
Here i am designing the slab as a flat...
