What is Pratt Truss Over a Building!! Tekla Structural Designer

 Hello Friends!!


In this blog we are going to learn about model of pratt trush  over a building in Tekla Structural Designer.


So what is Pratt Truss? 

It is a truss includes vertical members and diagonals that slope down towards the center. 


The interior diagonals are under tension under balanced loading and vertical elements under compression.


So let's take a composite 5 stroyed building which have been made and loads applied. In this model first three levels are designed in RCC and rest two levels we are going to design in Steel. 


Let's discuss the procedure.

1st step- For inserting the truss go to "Model" then select any type of Truss and specify 1st and 2nd point it it. Then click Next and then you can define it's priorities under it you can design it's division, you can increase or decrease the numbers, also you can modify height and many more then click "Finish".

2nd-After that go to "Edit" option then copy the truss type to 2nd point. 


3rd- Now next thing is to provide Roof panels so before it go to service load and through Area load option  give value 2kNM^2  then go to design for analysis and Design before it check all load combinations then finish. 

Then generete drawings you can find all the drawing in CAD file. 


So this is all about Design Process of Pratt Truss using Tekla Structural Designer.

We also shown this method in YouTube : -https://youtu.be/rkDIv31i0Jg

Tekla structural Designer VS ETABS.

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 see the difference between TSD and ETABS. Step 1 As per the modelling aspects in ETABS we can import the grid lines we cannot import the shadow of an architectural drawing and in Tekla, we can import grid lines as well as the shadow of an architectural drawing assigning beams and columns is very easy and the modelling becomes quick.  In ETABS we cannot see the extruded view easily but in TSD we can see the extruded view easily. Basically, visualization is easy in TSD as compared to ETABS.   Step 2 In TSD load application is very easy as the dead load and live load both are almost same but in the wind...

What are TOF, SSL, & TOS in Tekla structural designer ?

  Tekla structural designer (TSD) is a simple, integrated design & analysis software that gives engineers the power to analyze and design buildings efficiently and profitably. Pile foundation as two parts likely pile cap and pile, here in TSD we can design the pile cap but not the pile. TOF (Top of foundation), TOS (Top of steel), SSL (Structural slab level) are the terms in TSD software which are used while creating levels. Refer the below steps we will know about TOF , SSL & TOS  : Step 1 Go to TSD software and click on construction levels, under that section you will come across the type of level being designed, likely TOF, TOS, & SSL.     TOF: Top of foundation is a level which is helpful for placing foundation, plinth level and helps in excavation work identification also. TOS: Top of steel (level) takes a major part while you are working with the steel structures, composite structures or else steel structure completely, so in these cases you can mak...

RCC Slab: How Placement of Electrical Conduits & Reinforcement arrangement

  Let us take a virtual tour of a  building construction site for checking Electrical conduit in RCC slab and reinforcement arrangement  which is going to be cast. Conduit Electrical system is the most common type of Electrical wiring. Mostly PVC conduits are used in domestic wiring. What is visible at the site 1-Electrical conduits as per the Arrangements of lights,  fans,  TV, etc, which protect the wires from external damage as well as increase the longevity of wires. 2-Slab Thickness: Slab thickness of 125 mm was provided. 3-Slab Reinforcement: Top Reinforcement: Here the distance from support is 0.1L from beam Corner, at the discontinuous end and in continuous slab,the distance is 0.3L. Bottom Reinforcement: Here the distance from the center of support is 0.15L from beam Corner, or discontinuous end and in continuous slab, reinforcement distance is 0.25L from the support center.  Reinforcement distances in both top and bottom are maintained alternati...
