Hello, I am currently working on a concrete podium slab. As most of the load will be along the column strip I am looking to thicken the slab over the columns in the left-right direction using band beams (see photos below). The slab will be 9in thick…

Good morning! I was wondering if Concept applies the following section calculations when designing slab systems: -ACI 318-11: 13.5.3 and 11.11.7 -ACI 318-14: 8.4.2.3 and 8.4.4.2 -ACI 318-19: 8.4.2.2 and 8.4.4.2 Each of these provisions deal…

Hi, In designing RCC slabs conforming to BS 8110 we check the deflection only along the shorter span of the slab only. But in RCDC reinforcement area increased in along long span also considering the deflection of the slab. What is the reason for that…

I have an existing slab that I am trying to analyze the existing reinforcement to determine if it will be adequate for new slab openings. I have figured out how to draw my existing reinforcement (example: #4@13" o.c. typical bottom reinf) but when I run…
