Slab design

[kyp321]

Hi,

I am modelling an RC floor slab floor and would like to design for the Hogging/Sagging moments

So, for sagging it is very clear how to do that! However, for hogging over supports; is there a way to introduce a 'rigid zone' so i dont get the peak elastic moments over the column ?

I know that SAFE does account for that and as far as i am aware Robot does not have a similar function.

Thanks

Kyp
