The Slab Series | Part 2 - Slabs Deflection, Punching, Drop Panels, Column Heads | Autodesk Robot

In this video, we are going to check how punching shear is calculated and designed in Autodesk Robot. Furthermore, some discussions about deflection, drop panels and column heads are conducted. GREAT IDEA from Engr. Attia: Another way to add the slab drop panels, by defining the slab panels as slab openings, hence, overlaying the panels above the openings with the overall panel thickness. this method is more easier specially in complex slab shapes. Current Video Ideas for the Future: The Meshing Video, with Shear Locking and Hourglass stuff. All kinds of advanced things. Element arrangement/distortions vs Quality of results / isoparametric formulation inaccuracies The Dynamics Series: comparative analysis between robot Circular Arrangement of Reinforcement Highway Bridge Watertank with non-linear hinges. 3D elements in Dams or soil-structure interactions Basement Walls and the discontinuity of loads on columns Influence Surfaces When and why modal mass is always 90% or less. Tie beams in normal structure. More details about modal participation / report? Masses and stiffnesses to control modes LL Reduction in ACI/ASCE (vertical and horizontal) A possible way to model columns with pressure areas Deeper dive into slab reinforcement. Raft with larger thickness and positions Robot - seemingly - erratic deformation when supported by beams and columns A way to manually “clean-up” simple mesh like the above Wood and Armer Moments in Slabs and their meaning Complex and Principle results Simple TBM tunnel lining analysis in robot Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 1:08 Quick Modeling 8:26 An Idea on Thickness and Deflection 11:39 Quick Design 12:58 Addressing a comment of Engr.
