Practical design and analyse a reinforced concrete beam with RAPT (step by step modeling and design)
Step by step modelling of a reinforced concrete beam in RAPT
Learn about the different tools in the Rapt in order to model different steps (vertical and horizontal), concrete layers and elements in Rapt
Go through each item in the rapt and learn how to read, understand and use
How to set code specific requirements and where in the code these requirements are mentioned.
How to specify different spans and slab/beam thickness
How to specify different support conditions which can be columns, knife edge and fixed supports
How to set beam’s dimensions and effective width as per requirements of the code
How to define drop panels and drop capes and what are the differences between these two
How to define transverse beam and what are the differences between band and beam
How to define load cases and load combinations in program and look at the requirement of the code
How to apply different line loads, pressure, area load, point load and moments on the Beam
How to specify reinforcement for a new and existing beams and define top and bottom reinforcement in RAPT
Code specific design data and how to read and modify them if required
How to read and understand the results of the beam design and check the values as per code requirements
Basics of concrete design
RAPT is a very powerful program for reinforced and pre-stressed concrete design of structural systems and the aim of this course is to teach you how to use this software in order to practically design and analyze a reinforced concrete beam. Also, I will explain how to use different tools in this program to model special design conditions along with the specific code requirements.
In this course, we will have a Step by step modeling of a reinforced concrete beam in RAPT
You will learn about the different tools in Rapt in order to model different vertical or horizontal steps, concrete layers and concrete elements in this program
