To Model a RC residential structure using TSD

1.AIM

Setup model for RC building design and based on following parameters for cover

MEMBERS	IN CONTACT WITH GROUND	ABOVE GROUND
Column	50mm	40mm
Beam	30mm	25mm
Slab	30mm	25mm
Pilecap	75mm
Foundation	50mm

PROCEDURE

• Open Tekla structural design
• Go to settings->Structure defaults
• Select the SSL for the cover in contact with the ground and enter the cover values as given in the above table.
• For the cover above the ground
• change default type to TOF and apply the cover to the slabs

RESULT:

The cover has been provided to the concrete materials

AIM:

Model grids as per the attachment 2.2.1and 2.2

PROCEDURE:

Gridlines are used to locate the columns and beams position in a structure.Gridlines are important as they help in placing the elemenst with accuracy

on the previous question we were working

Go to model tab->under grids and construction lines

Draw grid lines accoring to the placement of the columns

Click on Grids ->draw the grid line by using rectangular wizard in grids panel

Enter the distance of the grids as per the placing of the columns

3. AIM:

Study the layout and write a summary for general arrangement of the structure

Before starting the design of any structure,we need to study the layout and decide whether the layout is poosible according the structure behaviours. We also need to check that the columns placement is done at the place where it does not interfere with the passage or windows/doors.

Below shown is the column arrangement according to the plan

As you notice one column line is not at the grid line 2

we need to adjust the arrangement according to the entrance.

The blue line shows the secondary beams

Secondary beams are provided when the distance between 2 beams are high

To reduce the deflection of the beams we provide secondary beams

And we dsign the primary beams for torsion which support the secondary beam.

The greem line show the primary beams

4.

AIM:

Model RC columns, beams and slabs as per your general arrangement

PROCEDURE:

we have G+1 floor level in this plan

Go to model panel

Constructution level->enter the details of the levels you want

After entering the detail->Click OK

Now the construction level is given,
Go to the base level

Go to Home->manage property sets >New >Concrete columns->select the materials

(M30,Fe415 Nominal cover=50mm)

Now provide the columns at eh intersecton of the grids

Go to model tab->select column C1 >Select top level ground floor

Select 3D toggle to view in 3D

Now we will add Beams to the plan

Go to the attachment we got->Place the beams as per requirement

Home->Manage property sets->New >Concrete beam

Provide section 400x600,cover =30mm

Now place the beams over the columns

Go to model->Concrete beam->select BI and apply

After providing the column and beams to the structure

3D toggle view

Now we design the slabs for the structures

Go to home panel->Manage property sets

New slab on beams items

Go to ground floor->Select slab on beams select the area where you want to place the beams

Leave the area of slabs for the stairs

we use slabs of lesser thickness (200mm) on the roof because live load will be less (if roof is not accessible)

Go to model panel->click on validate >no error shown

go to structure 3D to view the model in 3D

RESULT

• Concrete columns are placed
• Concrete beams are placed
• Slab on beams are placed
• Model is validated and checked for errors.
