To Design slab and foundation for an RC residential building using TSD

Aim : Design the slab and foundation of the model. Outline the thought process for designing of the elements (column, beam, slab and foundations)

 Procedure :

 All the load are created.

2. Load combinations by using combination generator.

4. First order linear analysis is performed.

Design of Foundations:

Pile Foundations are of different types.

Based on Shape:

a) Circular

b) Sqaure

After creating the Pile Cap,right click on the pile>design member and then it is observed for checks.

Pile

Here in our design circular pile with End Bearing Capacity is selected.

• The design starts with selecting a approximate Pile cap provided with reinforcement in both the directions.
• The Depth of the pile is designed.
• The number of piles to be provided are calculated..
• The length of the pile is designed.

The checks for the Pile for different load combinations are shown below:

Load summary details

For the Analysis of service and strength of pile

Nominal Cover for the pile is noted here

Pile Axial Capacity is checked here

Bending Capacity is checked here

Limiting Parameters are checked

After creating the slab:

Right click on the slab>Design member

Then it is observed for the checks.

Details of slab is mentioned here:

• Two way slab
• Depth of slab=200mm
