In this video, we are going to start our slab series in Autodesk Robot, with the flat slab being the first to be investigated.

Things that were missed:
Engr. Donald Khanye:
In the “Limit States” section of the “Slab and Shell Reinforcement” dialog box, I think it is important to also change or to choose the “Method” from “analytical” to “equivalent mom. (wood&Amor)” as a way to “tell” RSAP to calculate and design the slab reinforcements using the wood and amour equivalent moments as opposed to using the analytical moments results?

CEE:
Yes, that slipped my mind, although I took some effort to explain the method, it slipped my mind to select it.

Current Video Ideas for the Future:
Highway Bridge
Basement Walls and the discontinuity of loads on columns
Influence Surfaces
When and why modal mass is always 90% or less.
Tie beams in normal structure.
More details about modal participation / report?
Masses and stiffnesses to control modes
LL Reduction in ACI/ASCE (vertical and horizontal)
A possible way to model columns with pressure areas
Deeper dive into slab reinforcement.
Raft with larger thickness and positions
Robot - seemingly - erratic deformation when supported by beams and columns
A way to manually “clean-up” simple mesh like the above
Complex and Principle results
Simple TBM tunnel lining analysis in robot
