Basic Training for STATIK-5H, CEDRUS-5H – Unit 1 2008
The design of reinforced concrete slabs, the simulation, the calculation, the dimensioning and reinforcing are aimed at functionality, safety and economy. Functionality is related to architecture, as well as ease of passage of installations, security by meeting the regulations in terms of operation and failure, economy with material expense and ease of manufacture. Four classic cases of reinforced concrete slabs will be investigated together with the diaphragm beams, because slabs and beams work together statically as a structural element and should therefore be modeled respectively. This is achieved through CEDRUS and STATIK in the best way, since CEDRUS works with surface finite elements, which also have the ability to integrate the beams into the same model.
