To Model a RC residential structure using TSD

1. 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

AIM

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

PROCEDURE:

• Open TEKLA strutural design
• Go to settigs- > Structure defaults
• Select the SSL for the cover in cotact with the ground
• 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

2.Model grids as per the attachment 2,2.1 and 2.2

AIM :

• Model grids as per the attachment 2,2.1 and 2.2

PROCEDURE:

• Gridlines are used to locate the columns and beams position in structure. Gridlines are important as they element with accuracy
• On the previous question we were working
• Go to model tab-> under grids and construction lines
• Draw grid lines according to the placement of the columns
• Click on Grids --> draw the grid line and then select paralleled quick panel
• Enter the distance of the grids as per the placinng of the columns
• Then use the perpendicular grid and select the line to which u want the perpendicular grids

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

AIM:

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

PROCEDURE:

• Before starting the design of any structure, we need to study the layout and decide whether the layout is possible 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 show is the column arrangement according to the plan
• As you notice one column line is not at grid line 2
• We need to adjust the arrangement according to the entrance.
• The blue line shows the secondry beams
• Secondary beams are provided when the distance between 2 beam are high
• To reduce the deflection of the beam we provide secondary beam
• The green line show the primary beams

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

AIM:

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

PROCEDURE:

• Go to model panel
• Construction level --> enter the details of the levels you want
• We have G+1 floor level in this plan
• After entering the detail --> Cllick Ok
• Now the construction level is given,
• Go to the Home --> manage propery set-->New
• Concrete coluns --> select the materials (M30,FE 415 Nomina cover =50mm)
• Now provide the columns at eh intersection of the grids
• Go to model tab -> selct column C1 -> select top level ground floor

Select 3D toggle view in 3D

• Now we will add beam to the pla
• Go to the attachment we got -> Place the beam as pe requirement

Go to 3D toggle

• Home -> Mange property sets-> New ->Concrete beam
• Provide section 400x600 , cover =30mm
• Now place the beams over the columns
• Open the ground floor level
• Go to model -> concrete beam-> select B1 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 ssets
• New slab on beam 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 us slabs of lesser thickness (200mm)on the roof becasue 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 to view the model in 3D

RESULT:

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