This video shows teaches civil engineering software enthusiasts the possibilities of using Tekla Structural Designer in the modelling, analysis and design of flat slabs in buildings.

A typical flat slab building is modelled along with the frame elements taking into consideration the requirements for overall stability, member imperfections and sway sensitivity.

The building elements and members are designed for gravity loadings and checked against static loadings using a second-order analysis.

Three types of analysis are run: 1st Order & Second Order Analysis (3-D Building Analysis), Grillage Chasedown and Finite Element Chasedown.

The Flat slab is then analyzed using the finite element analysis and design according to the column strip method as described in leading textbooks.

The loads are chased down via supporting columns to the foundation and supported on pile caps and piles.
