To model columns for industrial steel structure using TSD
- Create column properties for different types of pedestal members and model in the grids created as per the assignment 1
- Create column properties for steel columns and model columns in the grid created as per assignment 1.
- Create beam properties and model primary and secondary beams on the ground floor
Step by step procedure for creating columns and beams in Tekla software:
- open tekla software and go to windows select structure window and click on levels
- enter the levels of model from foundation to roof along with the spacing and type then formation of grids will appear in new window
- next go to manage properties sets and click on new and select concrete column
- enter the properties such as grade of concrete and major and minor align axis and enter the dimensions
- now place the column in the required portion on the grid intersection
- next go to manage properties enter the steel structure properties
- now place these columns over concrete columns as shown
- similar way go to manage properties and enter the properties of beam section and place it on the the intersection of columns
- note that the no beams are to be overlap to each other while modelling
- now place these beam layout provided with columns throughout the layout
- no beams have been placed at the ground floor along with the secondary beams in between them.
- place the beams in required portion with the intersection of columns
