Thank you for your suggestion

Dear All, I am currently doing a building in ETABS. For columns how do I get the area for shear reinforcement. When I didn't the concrete frame design in ETABS I got the percentage for the main bars. But when I do for shear reinforcing the value is coming as Asv/s = 0.263 etc. What does this...

I want to know the general calculation. May be one of the projects that you have done. It would be really helpful.

Dear all, Can anybody give a detailed calculation for the design of basement wall. I am currently working on a project that has a basement floor. Kindly help me out.

Thank you for your reply. Well its blockwork that is coming above the slab. so I guess to go with 20mm deflection and here we have to follow BS code..

Thanks... I am doing flat slab with perimeter beam. so I guess you are suggesting to go with considering 20mm deflection.

Thank you for replying. What do you mean by secondary span & primary span. The formulae that you have suggested is for immediate deflection rite? I read in Reynolds handbook, that the deflection should not be more than 20mm. So shall we follow that.

Hello Guys!! Currently I am working on a project. Can anybody tell me how to calculate long term deflection for flat slab. I am working on SAFE12. As per BS 8110 what is the limit for long term deflection. I want to check if the thickness that I have provided is safe or over design. Please...

Thank you guys for your suggestions. Can you tell which code to refer and where. just wanna be on the safer side.

Greetings to all, I am currently doing a design for a G+Mezanine+3floors+roof. Here I am using flat slab as the its a multi purpose building so the wall to wall doesn't match. Ground 7 mezzanine floors have lots of vacant space were as 1st to 3rd floors are accommodation. so there...

thank you asixth.... But can you tell me why do u take that value or how did u get at that value... Its for my knowledge

Dear All, In ETABS while assigning the frame section we give certain values in SET Modifiers option. Especially for torsional constant, Moment of inertia abt 2 axis, Moment of inertia abt 3 axis. On what basis do we give these values. For eg if am using a Column of size 200x600mm what...

Thank you guys for helping me out

What I meant is that we will get the stress value of the slab in ETABS but design part it is better to import to SAFE. We will get reinforcement details and also we could do the foundation design also

Can anybody help me out my doubt....
