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

NNeha Pajankar25 Jul 2023

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

AIM: To design the slab and foundation of the model.

INTRODUCTION:

The design of a slab is based on the thickness of slab, size of bars, distances of bars, hooks, cranks and laps of bars, minimum cover of concrete etc.

Slabs are categorized as one-way slabs or two-way slabs based on the reinforcement given beam support, and the ratio of spans.

A reinforced concrete slab is a critical structural element in buildings that provides flat surfaces (floors and ceilings). Slabs are categorized as one-way slabs or two-way slabs based on the reinforcement given beam support, and the ratio of spans.

PROCEDURE:

STEP: 1

Open the TDS software
click on open

Open the file created previously in TSD
open the 3D view.

STEP: 2

Click on 1st order analysis
Perform analysis
Also perform analysis all.

Click on status in the results view.

STEP: 3

Select one sab
Right click and choose-> check panel and see the errors that arise.

STEP: 4

Solve the errors by carefully observing the error by changing the properties of slab and Reinforcement details such as bottom and top bars spacing between them.

After making the necessary changes, again check the panel if there are errors, if the errors are still existing again edit the properties and check till slab is passed.

STEP: 5

Continue the process for all the slabs of structure.

STEP: 6

Foundation design:

Pile foundation

Analyze the model and check the reaction

Designing the pile:

Go to Design -> settings -> concrete-->Foundation ->piles and give the required settings.

STEP: 7

Click on catalogue in Foundations tab.

Click on add the dialogue box that appears.
Set the properties of pile cap as shown in the picture below and press ok.
Again click ok.

STEP: 8

Modelling and design:

Go to Base level

Now click on pile cap column in the foundation tab.

Click on column location to create pile caps under the columns.

Click on validate in the model tab to check if there are any errors.

RESULT:

Hence,

The slabs are designed so as to sustain against the loads.

*****General process for designing of the elements like: column, beam, slab and foundations.*****

Step 1: The members have to be created with specific properties taking the help of "manage property set"

Step 2: Then using quick dialoug box tools model the members according to the plan.

Step 3: Apply the load like wind load, seismic load, dead load, live load, member load.

Step 4: Analyze the members by its bending moment, shear force, axial force, deflection.

Step 5: Finally design each member by check member option.
