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 study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams which have been generated in TSD.

Tekla Structural Designer is advanced software used for Structural Analysis and Design of a Building. In Tekla, we can do the detailing of steel structures as well as RCC structures. We can create RCC buildings and we can insert the rebars in Tekla structures Designer software.  We can also do the form works and structural drawing without the help of any other software. Let’s go step by step to learn how to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams that have been generated in TSD. Step 1 As we can see, this building has been fully designed and analysed. Now, just right click on the beam then click on the report for the member and it will generate the report for the member and we will see this and after that, we can also check the file for the particular beam.     Fig.1 Step 2 Now we have 3 numbers of sections, for each beam, it has been made and the respective cross-section is also given. Step 3 Now if we just go through the drawing, we can see that we have 2 bars of 16mm at the top an

How to Provide Reinforcement in multiple columns 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  to provide reinforcement in multiple columns in Tekla Structures.  So let's start the step by step procedure Step 1 : At first we must make sure that our model is correct and after that we will look for the column reinforcement application.   Step 2 : Search result will give us lots of options which includes application of column (for both the RCC and steel).  Step 3 : Now from there we have to select an app for RCC. column.  Step 4 : We will go for Application no. 57 which is "Column automated reinforcement layout". Step 5 : Select and define the application according to our requirement. Now select all the columns by dragging the mouse from right to left. It will select

STAAD Pro Vs Tekla Structural Designer .Which One Is Better ?

  Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) is a simple, integrated design & analysis software that enables engineers to deliver safe, effective and rationalized design more quickly, regardless of structural material. Reinforcement drawings for the entire building or tonnes of steel for estimating and many more.    So in the above image you can see the first image is created in Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) and in the second image the model has been created in Staad Pro  . we can start the comparison with the grid lines. So for creating grid lines in staad we need to enter the coordinates from the beam column plan as shown in fig.1 and we need to insert it while viewing the beam column plan. Fig 1 We can create grid lines in Tekla Structural Designer directly and in addition        you can also import the beam column plan as shadow as shown in fig 2 .  Fig. 2 • Next step is adding members in staad pro so in addition we need to see the beam column plan again and again so that we can place
