CONCRETE SLAB AND FOUNDATION DESIGN - SLAB ENGINEERING

The reinforced concrete slab design assistant allows the user to quickly generate the design strips of a concrete slab. The assistant generates column strips and middle strips that are adapted to the geometries of the bidirectional span of the slab. This assistant is directly linked to the automated mesh generation functionalities, allowing to use the geometrical elements such as supports, walls and openings for both the finite elements model and the design strips generation.

SAFI’s reinforced concrete slab design assistant becomes the ultimate tool for slab design in a simple and intuitive way. Part of the GSE Concrete Design, it allows the user to quickly and efficiently generate design strips for any concrete slab.Directly linked to the automated functionalities of the line of integration using finite elements, this application allows the user to operate in a specialized environment in order to perform mesh generation. SLAB ENGINEERING simultaneously defines model geometric elements such as supports, walls and openings.

The assistant generates column strips and middle strips that are adapted to the geometries of the bidirectional span of the slab. This assistant is directly linked to the automated mesh generation functionalities, allowing us to use the geometrical elements such as supports, walls and openings for both the finite elements model and the design strips generation.

Slab Engineering supports a complete and efficient solution for slab design. Without a doubt, this new technological breakthrough will help increasing productivity and success in various design projects.

A column line is used as a guide line for the column strip location. They can be placed on the supports along the two principal axis of the slab. The automated column line function allows to automatically detect the column lines in both axis of the slab.

The calculation of the immediate cracked deflections for slabs and beams uses the new Cracked SLS load combinations. This command allows to define the various parameters required to perform a cracked elements analysis and calculate immediate and long-term cracked deflections.

Additional parameters have been added to verify the punching shear around drop panels. The drop panels can be rectangular, circular or defined with an existing mesh contour refinement area.
