Architectural demands, economic pressures, and environmental concerns often force structural engineers to push floor and cantilever span lengths to the limit and minimize the use of building materials. For concrete building structures, this increases the demand for post-tensioned concrete floors, decreased floor depth and lower reinforcement ratios. Unfortunately, these design efficiencies accelerate the risk for serviceability concerns like deflection and vibration control, which are often overlooked or crudely approximated during design.
Attend this webinar to learn about a rigorous calculation approach for:
*Deflection control
*Punching shear design
*Vibration analysis
Discover how RAM Concept software can help you confidently design code-compliant concrete floor slabs and address potential serviceability concerns during design – before they become costly post-construction issues.
