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

Aim:- to design slab panels of the RC model

Procedure:-

• open the tekla RC model with all the structural elements added and analysed
• now select all the slab elements
• right click on the slab panel to view the design options
• now select on the check panel option

• if it shows that no valid loadcombinations are found then we need to generate the load combinations

• to generate the load combinations go to loads menu from the toolbar
• click on the load combinations
• then a dialogue box appears now click on generate and select all load combinations

• after generating load combinations run the analysis
• go to analyze tab and click on 1st order linear analysis
• Analyisis of the model is done
• after the analysis is done select all the slab panels
• give a right click on the panel and select check panel option

• from the above it can be inferred that the reinforcement details are not given to the slab panel
• now go to properties and add the reinforcement details to the slab element
• here i have changed the rebar size of the slab panel

• and agian click on the check panel to verify the design tests

• similarly repeat the design checks for all other slab panels

RESULTS:- the design of slab panels is done and we can see that all the slab panels have passed through the design checks

Aim:- To design the foundation for the RC model

Procedure:-

• firtsly go to base view
• then click on foundations tab from the toolbar
• then select on the catlog panel
• a dialogue box appears edit the properties of the pile foundation
• click on ok

• now go to base view
• click on foundations tab from the toolbar
• then select the type of the pile to be assigned
• then click at the corner of the supports and drag down to draw the pile caps
• similarly draw the pile caps for all other supports

• then to design the foundation member select the member and give a right click
• then click on the check member option to view the design details and design checks
• if the member doesnot pass through the design checks change the necessary data and verify for the design checks

• the above dialogue box shows that the member is not passing through the design checks
• change the reinforcement details and verify the member once again

• similarly design the other pile cap foundations and verify for its desoign checks

RESULTS:- the foundation design of a RC model is done and verified for the design checks
