Hi all,
As a useful excersize for my novice self, I have modelled a 3rd floor 300thk RC slab (that has already been built) using FEM, so that I can add loads in certain places to see the behaviour of the slab and supports...
In my FE model (using Autodesk Robot), I have added linear pinned supports (along openings) where ever shear walls are present (please see attached a snip shot of my model and the slab layout) and fixed connections where there are RC columns.
Would this be a reasonable assumption to analyze this slab?
