I am working on a project simulating a pile supported mat foundation supporting a plant equipment (quadrilateral load).
The results do not check for punching shear and one way shear.
Under ‘Slab Designer’, in ‘Detailed Report’, there is supposed to be a tab ‘punching shear’. However it doesn’t show up on my model.
Under ‘cutting slab by a line’, it doesn’t show one way shear check. And, the moment curves do not appear either.
I have specified the coordinates of the lines, however when it comes to ‘Design Selected Line’, the plot is empty.
And, the legends somehow cannot be displayed. In Output View Options, I have checked the box ‘Show Legend’ but nothing shows up.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi James,
The Details Report provides the “Punching Shear” tab – punching shear check is done automatically if the reaction loads are specified on top of the mat. The one way shear checks are not performed by SFA.
Hi Andrew
Thanks for the reply!
I was watching the tutorials where they mentioned in mat foundation design, we don't have to assign surface loads manually because it is automatically assigned.
I thought it may be the way I setup the load condition as well, so I deliberately set two point loads assigned to the columns.
However the 'Punching Shear' tab still does not appear in 'Detailed Report'.
Regards
James
Can you upload this model?
