Tilt Panel Detailing

[dano0310]

Hi

I was just wondering whether this program can be used for detailing of concrete tilt panels? 

Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan

Definitely you can.
My recommendation is to perform reinforcement definition starting from panel cross sections and then continue reinforcement distribution on panel plan view - perpendicular to the panel slope.

Really, I am so glad to see an important respectful person from Autodesk reply our threads and give a good solutions and ideas for the problems we are facing with this product. Again, thank you Mr. Kwolek. and Mr. Jad DELLEL

Kindly, I would like to ask Mr. Kwolek, have you seen the two threads from me (abbakeer) and from(GabrieleNovembri1027) in the following links:

I do not like to repeat my threads again and again, and I do not like to push you to solve this problem, but imagine that ASD2010 does not contain this problem and ASD2011 and ASD2012 still have till now although I had shown this problem long time here in this forum and through AUGI forum also as well as a lot of support requests.

Hi Dan

You can draw the reinforcement in the panel cross sections and define it in the same cross section (as Mr. Kwolek said) then distribute this reinforcement at any required available projection direction, since the reinforcement length which is drawn in the panel cross section does not affected by the distribution type unless it is variable distribution type such as stirrups/links in a beam of variable depth.

The good question is how to place reinforcement in a pitched roof slabs, i.e. we have two different tilt slabs with two different slopes intersecting each other like pyramid shape. More than one segment are varying in the same time in one bar (all the segments of this bar are located in one plan - this bar is 2D bar), length of one segment is increasing while the the length of another segment is decreasing. This type of bars will exist in the follwing cases:
A- Four corners of sloped bottom surfaces in lift pit or sump pit areas in some rafts in foundations.
B- Column head / crown
C- Slab drop panel

Hi Abbakeer

I understand your problem and see what happens with lap-splices.
I can see also this issue logged in Autodesk database – DEV and QA teams will investigate and analyze it for further processing.

One comment regarding Tilt Panel topic – my reply was referring to the cast in place sloped panels.

Dan – are you referring to the cast in place panels or are you talking about something else ? – see  bellow link.

BTW –quite interesting technology unknown in Europe …
