Week 7 Challenge

1.Setup model for RC building design and based on following parameters for cover.

Ans)

Aim: To setup model for RC building design and based on following parameters for cover.

Tools Required:

-> Tekla model

->File Menu

-> Settings

->Structural Defaults

Procedure:

• Firstly, open the new file.

• Now under the file menu select the settings option.
• A dialogue box will appear on the screen.
• Now select the structural defaults and sets all the values as per our requirement.

Result:

Hence the parameters for the structural model are set accordingly.

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

Ans)

Aim: To model the grids as per the attachment 2,2.1 and 2.2.

Tools Required:

->Construction Levels

-> Girds

->Parallel (quick)

->Properties

Procedure:

• Firstly, open the new file.

• Now under the structures option select the construction levels and mane them and give the spacing as per the attachments.
• Now click on model tab and select the grid option.
• Now with the help of that option draw a grid line and keeping that as reference draw the remaining grid lines.

Result:

Hence we were able to create the construction levels along with the model grid lines as per the attachments provided.

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

Ans)

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

Tools Required:

-> Attachments

-> Paint Tool

Procedure:

The drawing interface layer provides for graphic input of an architectural plan. It is a menu-driven drafting system that incorporates the following features.

• Provides a convenient drawing system.

• Does the initial processing necessary to identify and classify the building components in a drawing, producing a representation of the drawing using a frame-based representation.

• Extracts the geometric features and produces a semantic network representation of the drawing; this semantic network representation links together the frame representation of building components.

• The friendly interface is facilitated by access to the underlying knowledge structures about building components. The menu driven system can automatically access the meanings of the symbols that it draws.

• With the help of paint tool open the attachments there and draw in the file where ever you wanted to place beams.

• And draw in the place where ever you wanted to place columns.

Result:

Hence the layout is perfectly studied and in process of execution.

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

Ans)

Aim: To model RC columns, beams and slabs as per your general arrangement.

Tools Required:

->Levels

-> Manage Properties -> New -> Members -> Concrete Column.

-> Concrete Beam

-> Slab

-> Grids

-> RC beams

-> RC Columns

-> Slab

-> Manage Properties

-> Properties

Procedure:

• Open the grids files that you have already created.

• Now click on the levels option which is present at the right side of the display and you will be directed to a new dialogue box where in you have to assign the levels accordingly as show in the picture give below with its respective values, later click ok.

• Now select the manage properties option and again you will be directed to a new dialogue box where in you have to select and create a new member of concrete column naming it as CC1 assign the values as per our requirement in the general tab.

• Now you can also edit the other values like the length and width also the shape of the column and many more.

• After all the settings are done click ok.

• Now you can see the grids file that is open on your project workspace now select on column that is present under the model tab.

• Now you can see that there are properties of the column displayed at the properties bar although you have modified the properties but its good to go for a check for you to feel everything is according to our requirement.

• Now according to the attachments place the columns in their respective places.

• In the same way following the above procedure for the concrete beams and slab as well.

• By naming the concrete beam as CB1 and slab as S1.

Result:

Hence by following the above procedure we can model RC columns, beams and slabs as per our general arrangement.
