Precast member design handbook

Precast structures can be modeled and analyzed in Tekla Structural Designer. Precast beams and columns can then be designed, provided that you have access to a license of Tekla Tedds.

This handbook describes the workflow required in Tekla Structural Designer for running the Tekla Tedds precast calculations.

Note: The following limitations apply:
  • Only design of normal weight precast concrete beams and columns to Eurocodes is supported.
  • Design of precast concrete slabs and walls is beyond scope for all regional codes.
  • The process is only applicable to precast structures that don't make use of in-situ structural toppings.
    • Precast construction which adopts a more hybrid construction involving the use of in-situ toppings exceeds the limitations of the Tekla Tedds calculations and should therefore be considered beyond scope.

The following topics are covered:
