Explore flat slab design without interior beams or ribs, determine slab thickness using L/33 for a residential live load of 2 kN/m2, approximately 20 cm, and size edge drop beams.
Design solid slab with interior and teardrop beams, using panel perimeter to set thickness and confirm 16 cm slab depth; create 48 cm drop beams and 25x50 cm main beams.
Explore one-way ribbed slab design by choosing the y direction for reinforcement and sizing rib thickness under residential live loads, using ETABS and Safe.
Designs a two-way waffle slab type 1 for a parking structure using ETABS, determining rib spacing of 1.6 m and slab and hidden beam thickness per ACI code.
Design the two-way waffle slab type two for long spans, with rib spacing 0.8 m, and determine edge slab and beam sections using hidden and drop beams.
Explore modeling an 11-meter span slab between columns using ETABS and Safe, analyze short- and long-term deflection to protect glass walls, and design reinforcement as needed.
Design a structural plan from the architectural plan for ETABS and SAFE, outlining slab, columns, and openings, using layer-specific polylines and ensuring deflection control in glass walls without post-tensioning.
Model an 11 m span slab in ETABS by importing AutoCAD plans, using flat slab OC with 30 cm thickness, defining C25 concrete and reinforcement, applying loads, and running analysis.
Learn to model, load, and run etabs to evaluate punching shear and long-term deflection of an 11 m slab with glass walls, then increase thickness and add a drop beam.
Revisit the model, replace openings with state weights and loads, run the analysis, and confirm short and long term deflection and beam design, noting higher concrete strength reduces deflection.
Analyze beam design and shop drawings for a real project view. Calculate the maximum moment under self weight, dead loads, and live loads, and detail reinforcement.
Access downloadable course resources, including architecture drawings, structural final drawings, PowerPoint slides, AutoCAD files, and images, available in lecture six, section two for practice.
This course not just a tutorial on software ETABS and SAFE but it is a complete understanding about structural design analysis, how civil engineer must begin with the project, how he/she must think, how we can determine the dimension of the element before modeling them check it in the software. In this course we will show structural design of a slab with 11m spans in the two way ( direction x 11m ) and ( direction y 11m ). First of all we will review and study the architectural plan of the project then we will prepare the structural plan of the slab to import it into ETABS and SAFE using AutoCad. After this we will on the determination of the slab thickness. Also we will check the deflection of the slab on short term deflection and long term deflection with existence of glasses wall so the deflection must be checked well to prevent cracked and glass break. In addition to choose the best material of this project with the necessary reinforcement needed for this flat slab. Finally we draw the structural executive plans of this slab using AutoCAD.
We study the need of using drop beam or deep beam and we will the design this beam if necessary using a very important software custom for beam design
