Wall load transfer in hollow block slabs

We see in the report that the linear loads defined on the hollow blocks are not taken into account and are not transferred to the beams. As a matter of fact, we define the wall loads on the slab linearly when entering the project, but these are not taken into account. We have seen that they are only taken into account in slab slabs. Today, when hollow floor slabs are so widely used, we do not understand why this does not transfer load on the hollow block. As İdecad, users should not miss these small but important points in the program. When we ask many İdecad users around us whether they have information about this issue, we see that no one is aware of such a deficiency. This means that in many projects, the amount of reinforcement in the beams is under-calculated because the load transfer is not correct. Unable to calculate the load of the filling material, inexperienced friends are doing a solution without entering the hollow block material, which is a separate problem. We are waiting for the interested parties to find a solution. I hope I am wrong about these issues. Good work.
 
In the rigid diaphragm solution, the linear load can be added to the floor covering load and can be taken into account on the floor. Your request for the linear load to be taken into account in the rigid diaphragm solution in hollow floor slabs is among our notes. In a semi-rigid (Slabs ribs and beams together) elastic diaphragm solution there is no problem with the distribution of linear load to the main beams. Thank you for your report.
 
There is no problem in transferring the load of the wall, which is entered in the middle of the rib, to the main carriers when the floors, beams, ribs solve together.
 
Thank you for your interest in the subject. I think semi-rigid solution will be the healthiest solution for hollow floor tiles.
