Webinar | Deflection Control of Concrete Floor Slabs Designed to Eurocode 2 Using RAM Concept
Available OnDemand
For concrete building structure development, sustainability and economic concerns have increased the demand for post-tensioned (PT) concrete floors, reduced slab depths, and lowered reinforcement ratios. Unfortunately, these design elements increase the risk of serviceability concerns, such as deflection control, which are often overlooked or crudely approximated during the design.
In this webinar, we will review RAM Concept features that will help you confidently design Eurocode-compliant floors that minimise material use and more accurately predict long-term deflection.
Key features that will be discussed include:
- Load history deflection calculations using the Eurocode creep and shrinkage model.
- Deflection checks for enforcing deflection limits.
- Automated deflection control of PT slabs using RAM Concept’s PT Design Optimization feature.
