Design of villa using ACI CODE

Convert architectural plan to structural plan to analytical plan for a three-storey villa, detailing slab types, rib-beam layout, thickness calculations, and CAD workflow.

Guide to building villa RC design using element software: set metric units, define concrete 30 MPa, apply ACI RC design, and establish 20×40 and 20×60 columns with 7 cm slab.

Learn to model a villa in the ACI code workflow by importing DXF drawings, defining stories, placing columns and slabs, configuring supports, and applying one-way load distribution and superimposed loads.

Define and apply self-weight, SDL, and live loads for villa design, and compute SLS and ULS using 1.4 dead or 1.2 dead plus 1.6 live in robot structural analysis.

Select and design an RC column using robot structural analysis, compare required reinforcement versus provide reinforcement, adjust the section to fix geometry issues, and validate buckling and reinforcement layout.

Learn the design of flat slabs for villas under the ACI code, combining villa design goals with code-based flat slab considerations.

Design isolated footing using reinforcement arrangement, dowels, and stirrups for a concrete 30 MPa foundation. Check stresses, settlement, and rotation with the robot structural element to complete the design process.
