Design slabs and run punching shear checks

Slab design in Tekla Structural Designer requires a certain amount of user interaction, (which is why slabs are not considered when any of the combined analysis and design commands are run).

Slab design can therefore be considered in isolation, the process being able to be broken down into the following discreet steps:

  1. Create slab patches over columns, beams, walls, or panels as required

  2. Design slabs (the slab areas that lie outside the patches)

  3. Design patches (the slab areas inside the patches)

  4. Create punching shear checks as required

  5. Run punching shear checks
