To Model a RC residential structure using TSD

1.AIM: Setup model for RC building design

PROCEDURE:

• Open Tekla  Stuctural application
• Go to settings->Structure defaults
• Select the SSL for the cover in contact with the ground 
• Enter the cover values as given in the above table.
• 
• For the cover above the ground change default type to TOS
• Apply the cover thickness to the slabs
• 

 RESULT: The cover has been provided to the concrete materials

2.

AIM: Model grids as per the attachment 2,2.1 and 2.2 Model grids as per the attachment 2,2.1 and 2.2

PROCEDURE: Grid lines are used to locate the columns and beams position in a structure.

• 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 and then select parelled quick in grids panel
• Enter the distance of the grids as per the placing of the columns

Then use the perpendicular grid and select the line to which you want the perpendicular grids

3. AIM: Study the layout and write a summary for general arrangement of the structure

Procedure: 

1. Before starting the design of any structure ,we need to study the layout and decide whether the layout is Possible according the structure behaviours.
2. We also need  to check that the columns placement from architecture plan

• Below shown is the column arrangement according to the plan
• As you notice one column line is not at the grid line 

4. AIM: Model RC columns, beams and slabs as per your general arrangement.

PROCEDURE:

• Go to model panel
• Constructution level->enter the details of the levels 
• We have G+1 floor level 

COLUMN:

• 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

BEAM:

• Now we will add Beams to the plan
• Home->Manage property sets->New->Concrete beam
• Provide section 400x600, cover =30mm
• Now place the beams over the columns
• Open the ground florr level
• Go to model->Concrete beam->select B1 and apply

SLAB:

• 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(150mm) 
• 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.
