Multi-storey car park

Multi-storey car park. Beam elements are rendered and the plate mesh is displayed with outlines. The floors consist of pre-stressed concrete slabs with drop-panels modelled using plate offsets in Strand7. The pre-stress is included via the Plate Pre-Stress attribute. The structure is assessed for static loads using the Linear Static solver and dynamic loading such as earthquake loads, using the Spectral Response solver.

Rendered, shaded view - for visualisation purposes.

Fibre stress contours on the beams and columns.

Bending moment contours on the plates. A labelled 3D graph is also displayed directly on the slab.

Bending moment diagrams displayed directly on the beams. Note that the largest bending moment values are labelled automatically - in this case, we have labelled the highest 35 values.
