Week 7 Challenge

Q1) Setup model for RC building design and based on following parameters for cover.

ANS 1)

AIM: To set up a model for RC building design and based on the following parameters for cover.

TOOLS USED :

• Tekla software.
• File.
• Settings.
• Structural Defaults.

PROCEDURE :

1. First, open a new Tekla file for starting the structure.
2. Now select the file menu.
3. Select the settings option under that.
4. The settings dialogue box will appear on the screen.
5. Now select the required parameters and make the necessary changes required.

RESULT :

With the above steps, we can change the required parameters from the settings option.

Q2 ) Model grids as per attachments 2,2.1 and 2.2.

ANS 2)

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

TOOLS USED :

• Construction levels.
• Grids.
• Parallel quick.

PROCEDURE :

1. First, select construction levels from the model menu.
2. Construction level dialogue box appears on the screen.
3. Enter the levels with the appropriate name and height.

4. Next, select the grids option and draw a horizontal grid line.
5. Next using the parallel quick option draw the remaining grid lines.
6. Repeat the same procedure for vertical grid lines.

RESULT :

With the above steps, we can create construction levels and draw grid lines for the structure.

Q3) Study the layout and write a summary of the general arrangement of the structure.

ANS 3)

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

TOOLS USED :

• Attachments provided.
• Paint tool. ( any drawing tool )

PROCEDURE :

1. First, we have to open the attachments provided. Next, we have to analyze and check where to place the columns.

2. Now open attachment 2 ground floor and paste the photo into the paint to draw the columns and beams position.
3. Repeat the same for attachment 2.2 first floor.

It is necessary to check and identify all the components in the plan. All the plans designed cannot be implemented perfectly. We may face certain issues and problems at the site or workplace, so it is necessary to study the plan completely. Some issues can only be found once we start the work at the site, which is when a civil engineer plays a major role. The plan should be observed keenly and the structure should be imagined. With this software, we can analyze the structure before construction, so that's where the importance of the software falls.

RESULT :

With the above steps, we can draw the major requirements in painting, which will be helpful in further designing the building.

Q4) Model RC columns, beams and slabs as per your general arrangement.

ANS 4)

AIM: To model RC columns, beams and slabs.

TOOLS USED :

• Manage property sets.
• Members.
• Concrete columns.
• Concrete beams.

PROCEDURE :

1. First, go to manage property sets and create new members.

• Concrete columns M30.
• Concrete beams M30.
• Slab M30.

2. Then open the base plan and select the column tool and place the concrete column where ever required.
3. Next, construct concrete beams joining the columns.

4. Repeat the same for the first floor and roof.
5. Next click on slab on beams.

6. Click the cursor where ever we want the slabs.
7. Repeat the same process for the first floor and roof.

8. At last click on validate option to verify whether the structure is free from errors.

RESULT :

With the above steps, we can construct concrete columns, concrete beams and slabs for the structure.
