This option is used to define the distribution of prefabricated slabs within a closed contour of walls and generating reinforcement of prefabricated slabs. Select the option from:
- Menu: Reinforcement > Structure elements - reinforcement > Distribution of prefabricated slabs
- Ribbon: ASD - Structure elements > Structure elements - reinforcement > Distribution of prefabricated slabs
- Toolbar: Structure elements - reinforcement > Distribution of prefabricated slabs
.
The following dialog displays:
To define the distribution of prefabricated slabs:
- Click Point boundary.
- Indicate in the drawing the following elements that determine basic parameters of slab distribution (see the drawing below):
- Sides of the region over which prefabricated slabs will be distributed (the selected sides will be marked in red in a drawing)
- Openings that exist within the area of distribution of prefabricated slabs
- Direction of distribution by specifying the beginning and the end points of the distribution vector
- The beginning point of distribution of prefabricated slabs (this is a point from which distribution of whole slabs will start).
The upper part of the dialog includes:
- Name of an element (prefabricated slabs)
- Number of defined elements (distributions) - this number has effect on the steel table
- Concrete class.
The interval of variability of dimensions of a single prefabricated slab include:
- The minimal and the maximal allowable lengths of a prefabricated slab (Lmin and Lmax)
- The minimal and the maximal allowable widths of a prefabricated slab (Bmin and Bmax)
- Spacing between successive prefabricated slabs (dB and dL).
- Thickness of prefabricated slabs.
After completing definition of geometry of the prefabricated slab distribution and clicking Next, the Prefabricated slabs - Reinforcement dialog displays.
