waffle slab equivalent thickness

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how Autodesk Robot Structural Analisys calculates the thickness "th" shown in this image, which i think its the equivalent height to calculate the self-weight & also i want to know how Robot calculates the equivalent thickness to the bending.

 

Best Regards,

Silvia

This means that the cross sectional area of the unit width of the real cross section has to be the same as the th * unit width of the equivalent cross section which allows for th calculations Smiley Wink
 also i want to know how Robot calculates the equivalent thickness to the bending.
