Hi, 1- One-way ribbed slabs (hollowsole) and non-beamed slab slabs (cork) must be modeled as semi-rigid diaphragms. Even if the rules regarding modeling are not clearly written in the 2007 regulation, it should be done this way. 2018 how each structural element should be modeled is clearly stated in the regulation. As stated in Article 4.5.6.2, ONE-WAY ribbed flooring is also included in the scope of "buildings where floors are not intended to function as rigid diaphragms. Because the floor is rigid in the rib direction, 7 or 10 cm in the other direction. thickness slab is not possible unless it is a very small slab. Options under the semi-rigid diaphragm option allow earthquake effects to be taken into account in the design of floors and beams. In the first option, the vertical loads and the moment and shear forces due to the earthquake are taken into account, while in the second option, the slab is taken into account. tensile and compressive forces is taken into account. Especially in case of shrinkage, you can observe the increase in reinforcement. This control is especially important in beamless slab systems. Regulation 4.5.6.5 describes these options.
2- Only vertical loads and vertical+earthquake loads are controlled under the control of foundations. is being done. There was a lack of display in the report, but there is a more detailed display in the new version. Being an option is left to the engineer, and it may be thought to be a situation that may be needed. Negative stress control is also ignored by most, but numerically negative stress indicates levitation in that area of the foundation, which should not be. 3- In the R calculation, the decision is made by looking at the ratio of the shear force carried by the carrier system curtains in the whole system. While there is a coefficient called alpha-s in the 2007 regulation, there is Mdev in the 2018 regulation. The main thing here is to separate the main curtains of the system and the curtains we call soil/basement curtains in modeling. In order for ideCAD to distinguish this, we do the following: a- If there are completely rigid basement floors, we mark both X and Y directions as rigid floors on the floor settings page so that basement curtains on these floors are not taken into account. Thus, the software calculates alpha-s on this floor, taking into account the non-rigid first floor curtains for the alpha-s calculation. The regulation also requires it to be done in this way. b- Suppose you have built a curtain on one side of your building due to soil, and this curtain does not continue to the upper floors. But since the floor with this curtain is not surrounded by a basement curtain from other sides,
does not fall under the definition of a rigid basement floor. For this reason, you cannot make a rigid basement floor marking as in item a. In order for you to tell ideCAD that the curtain you have set for that soil is not a system curtain, you will be exempt from the alfa-s calculation by selecting the "flooded / curtain that does not continue on all floors" option. Nothing changes whether you mark the curtains on the floor that you have marked as a rigid basement floor as "flooded / curtain that does not continue on all floors" or not.
