    Need some guide on irregular 2 way slab design

    Hi Celt83, May I ask why long term deflections SAFE underestimated in SAFE?

    Need some guide on irregular 2 way slab design

    I am using Etabs at this stage and will later move to SAFE for long term deflection. At this stage I am just checking the stress for strength purpose.

    Need some guide on irregular 2 way slab design

    Thanks for your replies. The red lines are walls under and the white areas are openings. It is a flat slab. I am not a big fan of FEA and I normally do traditional computation for slabs but when irregular slab can't be avoided I don't know what simplified method can be used in lieu of FEA. And...

    Need some guide on irregular 2 way slab design

    It is my first time to design irregular 2 way slab and I need some help from you. I have used FEA for the slab analysis and below is the shell stress. Most of the stress is less than 3 MPa. but I have noticed that the stress in some mesh is greater than 35MPa (the green ones). Why is that? Is...
