Column Strip Width Flat Slab

[dermot_brennan]

Hi,

Does ROBOT give any guidance on column strip width for a flat slab. I have attached a pdf showing panel cuts through a column strip - Is it logical to average the peak moment of all these panel cuts to determine an average moment over the column strip? Is there any guidance on width this strip should be?

This topic is in line with a recent post and Tech case I've raised, so I wanted to bring it back up. My question is how it can be justified that Eurocode 2 requirements for allocating reinforcement in column strips is satisfied (EN1992-1-1 9.4.1(2)) when using the Required and Provided reinforcement tools in Robot.

Is using a rigid link a useful to get logical result instead of method
reduction of force above column in flat slab?.
