Hi ! Could anyone please give me information on how to calculate the reinforcement design for a concrete slab that is modeled with orthotropic approach (one way slab) ?
Hi,
If you want to use BEMESS
to design you slab, I think that the best way is to reduce the elastic modulus in the ASE
run with the parametre GRP2 QEMX
or QEMY
. I attach a file to show you how this works.
one-way-slab.dat (1.4 KB)
(If you change the orthotropic thickness of the material in SOFIMSHC
with SAR TX
or TY
, this thickness will be used in the design calculation of BEMESS
. I don’t think it is recommendable here.)
Hopefully this helps. There is most likely also an example in the Teddy example library.
