To plan a structural layout and to create grids using TSD

Aim: To Plan a Structural Layout and to Creat Grids Using TSD

Introduction: Tekla Structural Designer

- Tekla structural Designer is a tool to analyze and design RC and Steel structres.

  • Modelling - RC, Steel, coposite structures can be modelled
  • Analysis - Apart from analysis due to gravity loads, automatee wind loading can also be applied
  • Design - Option of automated design Suggest optimized section for design
  • Report Generation - Comprehensive design report with analysis diagram and detailed design can be generated
  • Drawing generation - General arrangement, beam detailing, column schedule drawings can be generated

- Here we will Plan a structural layout and creating grids using TSD

Question: 1

Aim: To Summarize the user interface in TSD.

Procedure:

I. Project Workspace – How to access and usage

  • First Double click the software
  • Windows appears on Display
  • Then select option NEW from the top corner to start the project
  • The first tool on this software top left corener is known as quisck access tool bar, here varies tools option are here like Delete , undo, Redu etc.,,
  • Then Under the model tab there is options to creat Beam, Column ansd slab
  • Similarly Loadings will apply from the Load teb
  • And under the Ribbon tab there is a structure window option here That is call Project Workspace
  • The projerct work space Provence the information related to the model , loading and validation
  • Then click there we can see the levels of model.

II. Scene Content – Demonstrate the use of scene content

  • Here we have plain space is know as Scene view
  • We will using this window to view ou model the 2D Frame and 3D view
  • And Right Corner of the project work space we can see the scene contend of window
  • Use this scene content To filter our member and loading
  • Here There are some Tick option , then Expand that we can see all the member List
  • Just we want the only steel beam or steel column , Then switch of the members and we will select the option what we need
  • This way we can filterout the scene view

III. Create two scene views

  • We can creat a twi scene views in TSD software.
  • The scene heps us in displaying some content and members in different part of easy analysis and evaluaion
  • It can display the entire structre, sub structure or individual members seperately in 3D and some of the other remaining parts in 2D

- 2D view of grid line

- 3D view of grid line

IV. Loading drop list- How to access

  • Select the LOAD option from ribbon tab
  • Then Loading window option appear
  • Whater we input loading we can check here on Loading window
  • And Under the loading tool, there are option here Loadcase
  • Here we can give the value of Dead load, imposed load, Slab self weight etc.,

V. Properties Windows – How to access and usage

  • Properties Window are located in below the project interface or we can take it from Window tab
  • Here we will use this option for edit the member properties'
  • We can also check them number size we have insereted in the model are correct or not using the Properties Windows

Question: 2

Aim: To Create a new file in TSD and set up the settings for a steel building to have member grade FE410 and concrete grade of M30 as per IS codes. The covers for the members to be as per the following input: -

MEMBERS

IN CONTACT WITH GROUND

ABOVE GROUND

Column

50mm

40mm

Slab

30mm

25mm

Pile cap

75mm

Foundation

50mm

Procedure:

  • Open the TSD software
  • And click on new option to creat new model
  • Initially to access the setting we have to Go HOME tab , Inisde the Home tab there is a setting option here
  • Then under the setting Here the option called GENERAL , RESULT VIEWER, REPORT DESIGN SETTING, like lot of setting are there.
  • We can creating the model by using the given value in the setting
  • Now select the Material option form under the Home tab
  • Click on material option and the material dialouge box appears on display
  • Then select the option material
  • Under the material drop down the list and select material type as steel and grade as FE410
  • Then select the material type aas concrete and also select grade as M30
  • Then change the cover thickness, click on setting option and under the loading section select structure default
  • elect SSL as default type and column cover as 50mm , slab as 30mm, and pile cap as 75mm
  • Now again select TOF as default type and cover for column as 40mm, slab as 25mm
  • Now once we finished setting Press OK to save the settting

*******************************************************************************************************************************

Question: 3

Aim: To With reference to the input drawing as per Attachment 1, 1.1, and 1.2 and study the steel building plan and summarize your understanding of the plan. Based on your study assume and explain the location of columns and beam and develop a hand sketch for each plan

Procedure:

  • Initially i opened with Attachment 1, 1.1,1.2 in Adope Acrobat Reader DC application
  • Then Columns are drawn by using Add Tex Box Tools
  • Columns are placed at the corners of the building and intersection of beam
  • Column should not be placed at opening of door
  • For placeing of column avoid small space
  • Then similarly i drawn Beam by using Draw line , Drawn strainght line by Holding Shift Kery
  • Hence all three Attachment are created by guven below

Attachment 1

Attachment 1.1

Attachment 1.2

*******************************************************************************************************************************

Question: 4

Aim: To Creat Model grid lines and construction levels as per Given Attachment 1. 1.1 and 1.2.

- Given :

  • Attachment 1. 1.1 and 1.2.
  • The base level to be 500mm below ground level.
  • All dimensions are in mm

Procedure:

  • Open the Tekla software designer software and click onnew option and New model workspace will appear on display
  • Go to Initially access the setting we have to Go HOME tab , Inisde the Home tab there is a setting option here
  • Then under the setting Here the option called GENERAL , RESULT VIEWER, REPORT DESIGN SETTING, like lot of setting are there.
  • Here i select the #Units setting -->Select setting set to edit: India Setting (active)
  • System --> Metric
  • Press ok
  • Then Go to The Model Toolbar from Ribbon Tab
  • Then select the construction levels
  • The construction level dialogue box appear on display
  • Select Base level --> Insert Above
  • To give the Name for each levels as Base, Ground floor, 1sr floor Level and , Top of the Roof Beam level, Top of the Roof Level.
  • Now Select the Grid Line to creat the single line as verticlly is called -1
  • Then select the tool for Parralel ( Quick)
  • elec the Properties:
  • Architectural Grid-->AG3
  • Grid line naming--> Alphanumeric
  • Nextr Grid Name 2
  • And Select the A line to draw the parralel line to offset of 6m,7m, and 5meter as shown in below
  • Now Selec the Perpendicular Tool
  • Then select the Line for which line to draw the perpentidular
  • Select Reference line -->Pic point of perpendicular-->Pick point1--> pick point 2, The name is called-A
  • Press Escape
  • And similarly To draw the parralel line A tpo Horizontally
  • Then select the tool for Parralel ( Quick)
  • Selec the Properties:
  • Architectural Grid-->AG3
  • Grid line naming--> Alphanumeric
  • Nextr Grid Name B
  • And Select the A line to draw the parralel line to offset of (3075,3000,7200,2800,3000,5000) as shown in below.
  • After creating the grid line To convert the solid style by using follwoing step
  • To Crear dimension:
  • Select dimemsion toll form Under the Model tab -->Miscellaneous Setting --> Dimension
  • To mar the All dimension as gvien below diagram
