Calculating reinforcements of slabs and walls

00:03

Reinforced concrete structures

00:06

must be designed according to local codes,

00:09

there are many code specific parameters already loaded into ARS

00:14

A.

00:15

You can calculate the required reinforcement in a reinforced concrete structure

00:20

according to the applicable code

00:23

to calculate analysis of the reinforcement of slabs and walls.

00:28

You must first define the code parameters

00:31

for the panels

00:34

from the text menu. Select design

00:36

required reinforcement of slabs walls, options

00:40

code parameters

00:43

in the reinforcement type list.

00:45

Ensure the RC floor is selected.

00:48

Now

00:49

click within the panels field to activate it

00:52

and then

00:53

from the object inspector window,

00:56

right? Click floors

00:57

and click. Select all

01:00

the drawing area updates with all the floors highlighted as being selected.

01:06

Click again in the panels field

01:09

and the field updates with the numbers associated with all the floors.

01:14

Before applying the reinforcement

01:16

from the list of reinforcement types. Select RC floor.

01:22

This opens the parameters, dialogue of the reinforcement type,

01:27

open each tab in this dialogue

01:30

to verify that the assignments are correct

01:33

when finished,

01:34

close the dialogue

01:36

and back in the slab shell reinforcement. Dialogue,

01:40

click apply

01:42

the properties assigned to each panel in a structure can be verified

01:47

from the text menu, select view tables

01:51

from the table's dialogue, select slabs and shells and then click, OK.

01:57

A table displaying the reinforcement type

01:60

for each panel displays.

02:02

Close the table.

02:05

Now it's time to begin calculations of reinforcements

02:08

from the text menu

02:10

select design

02:12

require reinforcement of slabs walls, options

02:16

calculations

02:18

from the slab and shell reinforcement calculation dialogue

02:22

ensure the appropriate limit states

02:25

and deflection verification methods are selected

02:28

click, calculate

02:30

the time it takes to process the calculations depends on the structure

02:35

and number of combinations that were applied.

02:38

Once the calculations are complete,

02:40

close the dialogue

02:43

to view the results of the calculations

02:46

from the text menu,

02:47

select design required reinforcement of slabs walls, options

02:53

reinforcement maps,

02:55

this displays the reinforcements dialogue,

02:58

open the reinforcements tab

03:01

and in the X negative column

03:04

select area. A

03:06

click apply

03:08

the drawing area displays

03:10

mapping the results of the calculation.

03:13

Now in the X plus column,

03:16

select area A

03:18

and click apply

03:20

again

03:20

the drawing area updates with the results.

03:24

Next in the X plus tab,

03:26

select number of bars and click. Apply to view the results

03:32

to display cracking results.

03:34

Open the SLS tap

03:37

in the X plus column.

03:39

Select cracking A

03:42

and then click, apply

03:44

the drawing area. Displays the results

03:48

select cracking A again

03:50

this time in the column Y plus

03:53

again, apply the change and view the updated results.

03:58

Next,

03:59

select the first option for deflection you and click. Apply

04:05

the model updates to show deflection mapping

04:08

close the dialogue,

04:10

calculating the reinforcement of slabs and panels and viewing the results

04:16

allows you to see a variety of analytics for

04:19

those model features according to the applicable local code.
