ProtaStructure 2025 introduces enhanced support for punching shear checks for flat slabs and raft foundations in compliance with both the ACI318 American and IS456 Indian Codes (and other similar codes including NSR10, NTE030, Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand). This latest version can automatically calculate the out-of-plane shear forces, V13 and V23, around the punching […]
Analytical strip can be used to analyze and design solid slabs supported by beams or walls in accordance to moment coefficient method based on the selected code. Scope & Limitation : The moment coefficient method is principally for rectangular or squarish slabs as stated in selected code of practice. For example, if British code is […]
There are generally 4 options to prepare and present slab loads through report & drawing formats. Option 1: Design Report The Slab Design Check Report will indicate the loadings of the slabs respectively. You may generate the Slab Design Report by clicking "Slab Analysis and Design" in the "Design" tab, then click "Design Report". Slab loadings g and q […]
Slab Strips for the Finite Element Analysis of Solid Slabs Supported by Beams (Span Strip) As an alternative to the Moment Coefficient Method, “Finite Element Analysis” can be used. To define a slab strip for the “Finite Element Analysis”, the “Finite Element Strip” must be selected, and the “Span Strip” option should be selected. Similar to the Moment Coefficient Method, these […]
Similar to ordinary slab plates, Ribbed/Waffle slabs can be analyzed separately from building under G and Q, or with the building model under all combinations. Ribbed /Waffle slabs must be analyzed using FE Approach. Modelling Procedure: Insert Ribbed Slabs and Waffle Slabs as required. Usually beam widths are at the order of 800-1000 mm and […]
General Users can customize built up steel section if the particular steel sections are not available in the database. Sections created can be applied to column, beam, girt, beam, truss and so-on. Built Up Steel Steps to customize built up steel section as below: Open steel member properties and select the "Section Manager". In Database, […]
Before the steel members can be designed, you have to model the steel members and perform the building analysis. Currently, ProtaStructure allows you to model and design for the following steel members: Steel Frame Steel Column Steel Brace Steel Girt Steel Purlin Steel Truss Space Truss Steel Domes Composite Beam Please take note that ProtaStructure does […]
The analytical model of the structure is created in the Graphic Editor, either in a 2D plan view, or in 3D. In order to prepare the model efficiently you are advised to have an understanding of the topics described in this section and the subsequent Structure Modelling section. Graphic Editor User Interface Member Related Controls […]
Member Properties can also be accessed by right-clicking after selecting an existing member and choosing the “Properties” or “Select and Load Properties” in the shortcut menu. Properties of the selected member will be loaded. Alternatively, you can double left-click a member to open the member properties. Repeating member labels are not permitted in a building […]
Sometimes, when the model is too crowded, it may not be easy to concentrate on the portion of the structure that you want to work on. A truss or purlin might get between the camera and the object of interest. To help with this, users can use “Show/Hide Selected Members” functionality to show/hide certain members: […]
