To Model a RC residential structure using TSD

Aim: To model for RC building design

Procedure:

Open the Tekla software, go to the settings provide the members with given effective cover.
Now go to the structural window and enter the required floors along with their spacings.
Now, Nominal covers for the RC bilding in contact with the ground is considered as Top of the foundation (TOF), select that from the option.
Nominal covers for the RC bilding above the ground is considered as Structural slab level (S.S.L), select that from the option.
Now open the ground floor span given in the question and make the grid arrangements according to that.
Now we have to define new columns, so go to the manage property sets and define the new column along with the grade and cross section.
Now place the columns on the grid intersections
Now open the ground floor plan and fill the beams as per the plan given in the question
Similarily do the same with the first floor as well.

Aim: To study the layout and to write a summary for general arrangement of the structure.

Answer:

The layout of the structure is a two storey building.
The ground floor has equipment rooms, office rooms, reception, meeting room, toilet, store room, staircase. And the first floor has conference room, store room, office rooms, common room, toilet, equipment room with corridors.

Important things to be considered while designing are:-

The architectural view and aesthetic view should not get hindered due to structural elements, and the obstacles formed should be resolved.
For general arrangements, we have to consider the structural drawings for placement of the individual elements
Columns and beams are placed at the required locations and at required levels.
The slabs on the beams are provided with two wat slab design.
