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

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 ba...

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...

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 colu...
