ANSWER

  • To open the new file in Tekla software.
  • Save the file at the appropriate location.
  • For Rc Building Design , before we check the setting in software at all general things are in Indian Standards.

  • To set the loading condition factors with structural and section @ given required Data.
  • Also to check all design codes.

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

ANSWER

  • To take a reference from a given layout plan for further process.
  • First to create a Construction level with a reference of layout.
  • This model is considered to G + 1.
  • Go to Model > construction level.

  • Next to prepare the Grid line for X and Y direction with a reference value from layout od each and every grid spacing.

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

ANSWER

  • The given building model is G+1.
  • The plan of the building shows a Residential building.
  • For this plan should have a Staircase room.
  • The construction level is defined as from a given layout of Each floor have a distance of 3.6m.
  • The parapet wall height is 1m.
  • The placing of elements starts with fixed-fixed supports at the base level.
  • Columns are placed Required location as per reference of layout, let we more consider to all boundary area, wall ends and the intersection of frames.
  • For here we considered a column size is 600mm x 600mm.
  • The beam is placed under the brick wall, supporting the frame area.
  • The size of the beam is 230mm x 600mm.
  • Next, we will model a slab, for here we considered a slab property of 200mm overall depth at the ordinary slab, 250mm overall depth at staircase slab.
  • The slab are classified as two way and oneway.

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

ANSWER

  • To add all properties of column, beam and slab.
  • First we add column properties.
  • Go to Manage property sets > add member of concrete column > and to rename the column.
  • To create a properties of column with a size of 600 mm x 600mm.
  • Base level is Base and Top level is Parapet level.
  • Go to model > choose concrete column option > then to add the column in Grids intersection at appropriate locations.

  • Next to model a beam at Ground floor, first floor and roof level.
  • The beam size is 230mm x 600mm.

  • Next, to model a slab, before we add the slab properties for contributor different areas.
  • The slabs are varry under Ly/Lx > 2 = one way, Ly/Lx < 2 = Two way.
  • The over all depth is 250mm for staircase area and 200mm for other all slab area.
