Follow the next steps to making Please follow the instructions provided below to perform Slab Design Setting |
Table 1: Slab Design Setting
Go to Top Reinforcement under 1st Floor from tree view.
Click Design Summary and select Column Strip Reinforcement Tab.
Click “Generate Reinforcements” button.
Reinforcement rectangles and undesign Reinforcement spreadsheet have been created.
| title | CAD view |
|---|
AEC|BOLT Building Design Suite generates reinforcement regions for top rebar on columns, shear walls and spans. 3 different rectangles are created.
Yellow rectangle is the reinforcement intensity rectangle, white rectangle is the distribution rectangle and navy blue rectangle shows the length of rebar.
You will see intensity and distribution rectangles only on columns and shear walls.
Click “Design Reinforcements” button.
Rebar, spacing, Count of rebar data can be edited this spreadsheet.
Required/Provided intensity cell of each reinforcement region will be green if capacity is enough for demand. If all colors on the spreadsheet are green, the design is complete.
AEC|BOLT Building Design Suite will automaticaly calculate Required/Provided reinforcement intensity ratio as you enter rebar information.

When calculating Required Density, it takes the critical one among the AECBolt and Safe analysis results.
Click the "Compare Req Rebar Area" button to see which analysis result the critical value comes from.
Go to “Middle Strip Reinforcement” tab at same spreadsheet.
Click “Generate Reinforcements” button and than Click “Design Reinforcement” button.
| 1 | Go Navigate to the "Slab Design from " section in the tree view. Set In this section, set the "Analysis Source" to “AECBolt” and “CSISafe”. |  | |||||
| 2 | Go Navigate to “Slab Design Template” under General from the "Slab Design Template" section under "General" from the same spreadsheet. Set In this section, set the Slab Design Template for the 1st floor. |  | |||||
| 3 | Go Navigate to the "1st Floor" section under "Slab Design". Set In this section, please set the Design Template to "Slab Design Template -1". |  | |||||
| 4 | Go Navigate to the "Corner Zones" section under "General from " in the same spreadsheet. Corner zones must be present in order to draw stress lines from SherwallShearwall. Click In this section, please click on the "Generate Corner Zone" button. Created by This will create the Corner Zone CAD view. |  | |||||

| 6 | Go Navigate to the "Stress Lines at " section in the same spreadsheet. Click Once you have reached this section, please click on the "Run Stress Line Generation" button to generate the stress lines. |  | |||||

| 8 | Based on the analysis results, we may want to delete some stress lines because we don't need them all.Click “Show Strip Button” may not be needed. In this case, we can delete them. Please click on the "Show Strip Button" and select both direction. The bottom of the stress lines are will be covered with the analysis results on the CAD view. |  | |||||

| 10 | Click “Refine Stress Line” Please click on the "Refine Stress Line" button and select "both" direction both. BDS gives will give a suggestion as to which of the drawn stress lines are redundant and should can be deleted. And delete Delete the selected . This is just suggestionlines. Please note that these are suggestions, you can choose to delete less or more lines. If the analysis result does not cover the area under the stress lines, there is no need to placement place the stress line at that location. |  | |||||
