RECTANGULAR SLAB FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF RECTANGULAR SLAB PANEL DESIGN | DETAILING | A01
Summary Design rectangular reinforced concrete flat slab panels with a variety of edge supports.
You can enter multiple load cases comprising of point loads, line loads, and UDLs, and combine these with ULS load factors.
The module calculates steel reinforcement using the formulae stipulated in the relevant design codes. Reinforcement is automatically added to the slab.

What makes this module special?
• Variety of edge supports • Enter multiple load cases • Automated bending schedule
Detailed Description Rectangular Slab designs rectangular or square reinforced concrete flat slab panels with a variety of edge supports to choose from, e.g., free, simply supported, or continuous. The module is suitable for designing slab panels with approximately rectangular or square layouts (use Sumo to design slabs with irregular panel layouts and openings).

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.
