Views of composite slabs

The "Views" option, within the "Composite slabs" menu on the "Results" tab, allows you to configure how the data obtained from the analysis of composite slab floors is displayed.

These include the specifications and drawings of the plates used, as well as the layouts of the top and/or bottom reinforcements.

Clicking on this option opens a pop-up window containing the following tools:

  • Line of lateral splicing between panels
    Selecting this option draws a solid line to indicate the position of the overlap between each pair of steel panels.
  • Rib axis
    Selecting this option displays the position of the rib axis on the steel plates as a dashed line.
  • Series reference
    Selecting this option labels the series reference of the sheet metal used in each panel of the composite slab on the floor plan.
  • Reference for the series section
    Selecting this option adds a label to the floor plan indicating the section reference of the sheet metal used in each panel of the composite slab.
  • Reinforcement layout
    Selecting this option displays the reinforcement layout on the floor plan. You can include the drawing of the "Rebars", as well as the "Labelling" of their diameter and length.
  • Top reinforcement
    Selecting this option displays the layout of the top reinforcement for composite slab floors. You can also configure the following:
    • Labelling
      When this option is enabled, labels indicating the diameters and lengths of the top reinforcement are displayed.
    • Total number of bars in group
      Include the total number of bars in each group of top reinforcement on the label.
    • Distribution
      Add the length measurement to the green line representing the width over which the top reinforcement is distributed.
    • Show bar bending details
      If this option is enabled, a bending diagram is drawn next to the bar in inclined sections.
    • Show bar bending mark
      If this option is enabled, on inclined sections, the bending point is marked with a small line perpendicular to the axis of the bar.
    • Labelling in "Screen" and in "Plan"
      In both cases, the program allows you to select the "Default labelling type" for top reinforcement from those available in the pop-up window. It also allows you to specify whether you wish to "Dimension tabs" and/or "Show lengths" of bars by ticking the relevant boxes.
    • Copy label selection
      These options allow you to copy the label selection on the screen to the label selection in the drawings, or vice versa.
