SkyCiv Structural Engineering for Students: Reinf. Concrete

In this lecture, we talk about the project and fast-forward the simple modeling and section application of our 2D concrete moment frame.

We apply the vertical Dead and Live Loads and generate the Wind Loads as required by ASCE 7, using the SkyCiv Wind Load Generator.

In this lecture, we learn how to manually apply our calculated Wind Loads -- a very useful skill -- to our 2D concrete moment frame.

In this lecture, we identify load cases for our load groups, import and apply load combinations. Then we will be running our 2D concrete moment frame through the various analysis available in Structural 3D.

In the first "What's Next?" lecture, we take our frame into the Reinforced Concrete Design module and examine the inputs that are required. Then we go through the longitudinal and transverse layout of an example member.

In the second "What's Next?" lecture, we take a look at the forces and load combinations available for each member in our project.

In the third "What's Next?" lecture, we run the design checks of our example 2D concrete frame and go through the Detailed Reinforced Concrete Member report, which is attached for download in the Resources section.

In the fourth "What's Next?" lecture, we introduce foundation design in SkyCiv and go over the input required. We look at how to go from a Structural 3D model to a Foundation design calculation.

In the fourth "What's Next?" lecture, we run our initial design and take a look at the results. If the design is failing, how can we adjust the input parameters to get a passing design? Make sure to download and review the Detailed Foundation Design report, which is attached in the Resources section.
