Design of One Way slab Part-1: Determining Effective Depth in One-Way Slab

 To design a one way slab first of all we need to check whether it’s supported on all sides and second whether it’s aspect ratio is more than two or not. So, if any slab is not supported on all sides then we don’t need to check for the second condition. It is simply  a one way slab. But if it is supported on all sides then we need to check what is it’s aspect ratio. Now the major question is, what is the aspect ratio. 

Aspect ratio= Longer Span/Shorter Span .

If the aspect ratio is greater than two then it is a one-way slab, otherwise it’s a two way slab. 

Now our next step will be calculating the effective depth. Then again we need to know what is effective depth. 

So, Effective depth= Overall depth - half of diameter of main reinforcement - clear cover. 

 To calculate the effective depth we have a formula.

l/d < k1.k2.k3.k4 X Basic value

Now the question is what are these values!

So here,

l denotes the length of shorter span  

K1 = depends on whether span is above 10 m or not.

K2 = depends on % of tension steel 

K3 = depends on % of compression steel

K4 = depends on ratio of web width and flange width

Basic Value = depends on type of support

To know the values of all these you can refer Clause 23.2.1 of IS 456


Once you have all these values you can assume the value of effective and overall depth.

How to Modify User Interface of Tekla Structures

  Tekla Structures is a building information modeling software able to model structures that incorporate different kinds of building materials, including steel, concrete, timber and glass. However it is widely used for the detailing of structural drawing.  In a detailing software like Tekla Structures, it is very useful we can import the plan or the gridline of the beam column plane directly, as it helps us to assign the elements of the structure which we are going to make in Tekla Structures. In this blog, we are going to discuss how we can modify User Interface in Tekla Structures. So let's start the step by step procedure. To change the size of icons in toolbar and font size in Ribbon Step 1: Go to file  Step 2: Select Settings Step 3: There you will find and option of User Interface Step 4: To change the size of icons of the toolbar you have three options of small, medium and large. You can choose any according to your requirement Step 5: To change the font size of R...

3D Render and Animations in Tekla Structures

  Tekla Structures is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software able to model structures that incorporate different kinds of building materials, including steel, concrete, timber and glass. However it is widely used for the detailing of structural drawing.  In this blog, we are going to discuss how we can take out 3D render and animations in Tekla structures.  So let's start the step by step procedure. Step 1: First of all you will have to install Visualizer tools in Tekla Structure. You can get these apps from the website of trimble. Step 2: After your installation is complete you will have to restart your Tekla so that it can work smoothly.  Step 3: Go to the application and component section and search visualize. Step 4: You will find 3 options over there viz. Visualize all, Visualize selected, and Visualize material type mapping. Step 5: Visualize all will take out the render of the whole model. Visualize selected will take out the render of only the select...
