Design and check slabs

After creating any necessary patches, you can determine the top and bottom reinforcement requirements in all the slab item areas that lie outside of the patch areas. Because patch areas are excluded from slab item design, you should create patches before designing slab items.

Note:

Slabs can only be designed/checked after slab design moments have been established from a suitable analysis.

Check an individual slab item

Do one of the following:
To Do this
Check an individual slab from a 2D or 3D view
  1. Hover the mouse pointer over the slab.
  2. If a different entity is highlighted, press the <down arrow> cursor key until the correct reference is shown in the Select Entity tooltip.
  3. Right-click, and from the context menu that appears, select Check Panel.
To Do this
Check an individual slab from the Structure Tree
  1. In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
  2. In the Slabs branch, locate the slab reference.
  3. Right click and select Check Panel.
Note: Check Panel uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Check all slab items

  1. In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
  2. Right click on the Structure branch.
  3. In the context menu, select Check model slabs as required.
Note: This command uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Check all slab items on a single floor

Do one of the following:
To Do this
Check all slabs in a floor from a 2D view
  1. Open a 2D view of the floor that you plan to design.
  2. Right-click anywhere in the view.
  3. In the context menu that appears, select Check Slabs.

Tekla Structural Designer checks the reinforcement of all slab items on the floor.

To Do this
Check all slabs in a floor from the Structure Tree
  1. In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
  2. In the Levels branch, right click the required Level and select Check plane slabs.
Note: This command uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Check all slab items in a sub structure

  1. In the Project Workspace, click Structure tab.
  2. In the Sub Structures tree, right-click the sub structure containing the slabs you want to check.
  3. In the context menu, select Check sub structure slabs.

    Tekla Structural Designer checks the reinforcement of all slab items on the floor.
