RECTANGULAR SLAB FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF RECTANGULAR SLAB PANEL DESIGN | DETAILING | A01
Bending stresses and elastic deflection is calculated through a finite element analysis. When calculating the design bending moments, the module transforms the bending and torsional moments using the Wood and Armer equations. Theory used in this module The module calculates bending stresses and elastic deflection through a finite element analysis. Steel reinforcement is calculated using the formulae stipulated in the relevant design codes. Elastic short-term deflections are calculated using the gross uncracked concrete section of the slab. When calculating long-term deflections, the module adjusts the stiffness of the slab based on the level of cracking, creep, and shrinkage. The calculation procedure is based on the approach in the American design code, ACI 318, which uses a time-depended factor and for estimating creep behaviour.
