RC Design Using Eurocode in Robot Structural

ROBOT STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS PROFESSIONAL 2011
DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS

ACCORDING TO EN 1992-1-1:2004
The structure below has been modeled in order to present the

design possibilities in Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2011 for
reinforced concrete elements.
The structure was the following dimensions: 10.8mx28.2m and
15.5m height. There are 4 stories, 3m height each and the ground floor
3.5m height.
As loads acting on the structure we have modeled:
1. Self weight of elements: it is calculated automatically by the
program.
2. Finishes: 1.5kN/m2
3. Non structural internal walls: 3.0kN/m2
4. Live loads: 2.0kN/m2 for each floor and 1.0kN/m2 for roof.
5. Snow: 1.6kN/m2
6. Seismic loads generated using the EC8 norm.
The loads were combined using the automatic combination options
according to EC1 norm.
The program offers the possibility to choose the design code from a
large list. This can be done by accessing the Job Preferences option from
the menu Tools. In the Job Preferences window presented below the user
can choose the code for designing steel, aluminum, reinforced concrete,
timber structures or geotechnical design.
When choosing the code for design, sometimes, in the right side of
the drop box there is a button that allows access to additional options. This
is the case for eurocodes. The additional options available are presented in
the window below and allows the user to personalize the safety coefficients
according to the national annex of the user's country.
If by default the required code is not present in the current code list,
the user can search a particular code by checking the available list of
codes. This can be done by pressing the More codes... button in the Jog
Preferences window. Below you can see the window that appears by
accessing the More codes.... button.
Options for required reinforcement of Beams/Columns

In order to correctly calculate the required reinforcement the user
has to provide some options for the program regarding the elements that
has to be calculated. This will be done by accessing the Required
Reinforcement of Beams/Columns - options/Code parameters... command
from the Design menu. The following window will appear.
In this window we will find two default set of elements defined: RC

column and RC beam. These sets of options can't be modified. In order to
personalize these elements press the new button in the upper part of the
window. We have created two more types of elements named RC Beam 1
and RC Column 1. These elements were defined using the options
presented below.
The options that has to be selected refers to the supports of the
elements and the way that these elements connects to other elements.
Another set of options that has to be reviewed and personalize

before calculation are the Calculation parameters... Here also there is a
default set of options that can't be changed. We had to create a new set of
options named standard1 in order to provide the correct options for
calculating the required reinforcement.
The calculation parameters refers to the material characteristics of

the elements. The user has to provide information regarding the concrete
and steel used for longitudinal and transversal reinforcement.
By pressing the new button the user has access to the window
presented below, named Calculation Parameter Definition. This window
has three tabs named:
General - options for concrete
Longitudinal reinforcement
Transversal reinforcement
Required reinforcement for beams and columns
After providing the calculation parameters for the elements of the

structure now we can proceed to calculate the required reinforcement for
beams and columns.
For this select the Required reinforcement for Beams/Columns...
command from the Design menu. By selecting this command the screen
will change like in the picture below. We can see the following windows:
View
Calculations
Required Reinforcement
Bars
In order to see the required reinforcement results the user has to

introduce in the Calculation window the following information:
- members that will be calculated
- load cases that will be used to calculate the reinforcement

- how many calculation points along the bar length will be used.
After providing this information press the Calculate button.
After the calculation is finished the program will display the window
presented below, where it will provide information regarding the calculation
process and the results obtained. Here we can see if there were any errors
or warnings during calculation. As we can see in our case all results were
correct.
The results are presented in a table, in the lower part of the display.
Here are the results for the provided reinforcement of the selected beam
and column.
Options for required reinforcement of slabs/walls
Same as for the beams and columns, before calculating the required
reinforcement for slabs the user has to provide the calculation parameters
for these type of elements. This can be done by accessing the Calculation
parameters command form the Design menu/Required reinforcement for
slabs/walls - option.
As default parameters sets we can find RC Floor and RC Wall.
These sets can't be changed so we will have to create two new sets that
can be personalized to our needs. We will call them RC Floor1 and RC
Wall1.
The windows that allows the definition of the calculation parameters

contain the following tabs:
- General
- Materials
- SLS Parameters
- Reinforcements
First we have defined the RC Floor1 options sets using the following
parameters:
For the RC Wall1 options set we have defined the following

parameters:
Required reinforcement for slab
After the definition of the calculation parameters we can proceed to

calculate the required reinforcement for the slab. For this select the
Required reinforcement for slab/wall command from the Design menu. By
selecting this command the display will change and we can see the
following windows:
- View
- Plate and shell reinforcement
- Reinforcement
In order to see the required reinforcement results the user has to

introduce in the Plate and shell reinforcemet window the following
information:
- panels that will be calculated
- load cases that will be used to calculate the reinforcement
After providing this information press the Calculate button.
When the calculations are done we can use the Reinforcements

window and select what results to be displayed in the view window. The
following results are available:
- Reinforcement area
- Reinforcement spacing
- Number of bars
- Minimum reinforcement
- Displacement (SLS)
- Cracking (SLS)
Important: In order to read results that are displayed in the SLS tab it
is mandatory to have defined SLS Load Combination cases.
Here are the results for provided reinforcement on all directions (X

and Y) and layers (up and down).
RC Beam design - Provided reinforcement
Beside the required reinforcement the program is capable to

calculate provided reinforcement for all the elements. We will start by
presenting the provided reinforcement for beams.
In order to calculate the provided reinforcement the user has to
select the element that will be calculated and access the RC Beam Design
command from the Design menu/Provided reinforcement for RC elements.
The first window that will appear will allow us to select the load
cases that will be used for calculating the reinforcement.
The display has changed and on screen we have some new

windows where we can see the geometry of the element.
Before calculating the provided reinforcement we have to adjust two

sets of calculation parameters.
- Analysis menu/Calculation options...
- Analysis menu/Reinforcement pattern...
First we will start with Calculation options. This command will open a
window with five tabs:
- General
- Concrete
- Longitudinal reinforcement
- Transversal reinforcement
- Additional reinforcement
In these tabs we will provide information about material quality

(concrete and steel), cover, cracking and deflection options. Also we can
provide information necessary to perform a fire resistance check.
In the windows below we can see the parameters for our example:
After the personalization of the calculation options we can save

these sets in order to reuse them in other projects. We can do this by
pressing the Save As... button.
The second set of options to be adjusted is the Reinforcement

pattern. Because the program will propose a real solution for reinforcement,
we will have to provide some rules that the program will follow when it will
draw the reinforcement.
Here are the parameters for reinforcement patterns used for
calculating the provided reinforcement.
Same as before, the user can save the reinforcement pattern

options for later use with other projects by pressing the Save as button.
Next step is to indicate the options sets to be used for calculation.

For this select the Options set... from the Analysis menu.
For calculation the reinforcement select the Calculation command

from the Analysis menu and press the Calculate button in the window that
just opened.
When the calculation is done the program will display a window with
information regarding events during calculation.
When the calculation is finished we can switch to the BeamDiagrams tab and see the graphic results. Also below the diagrams there
are displayed in a table the results in the characteristic points of the
element.
In the next tab, Beam-Reinforcement, we can see the reinforcement

bars provided by the program. We can even change the reinforcement and
recalculate the element.
In the last tab called Beam-note we can see a full calculation note
for the current calculated element. This calculation note can also be
generated by selecting the Calculation note command from the Results
menu. This calculation note can be save as a *.rtf file and can be attached
to the project documentation.
Here it is the calculation note provided for our beam:

The user can erase the reinforcement provided by the program in

the Beam-reinforcement tab, in order to define by himself a solution and
see the capacity of the beam with that reinforcement.
After deleting the reinforcement the program will display the window
below where we can see that the capacity of the element is zero.
The user can define the reinforcement by selecting the Typical

reinforcement command from the Reinforcement menu.
This way the user will have to go through six windows and provide
information regarding stirrup diameter and distribution as well as main
reinforcement parameters.
In the next windows we have indicated a possible reinforcement for
the beam.
In the Beam-reinforcement window we can see the reinforcement

defined in the previous windows.
When we switch to the Beam-diagrams tab the program will

automatically perform the calculation in order to provide results according
to the new reinforcement. Every time we changed the reinforcement
provided by the program, it will ask as before calculation if we wish to
calculate the element with the modified reinforcement or the program will
delete all the reinforcement and will propose again a solution. In our case
we want to see the capacity of the beam with the reinforcement proposed
by us, so we will choose YES.
When the calculation is finished we will see again the window with
calculation status.
Below we can see the calculation note for the beam with the
reinforcement proposed by us.

The user can erase the reinforcement provided by the program in

the Column-reinforcement tab, in order to define by himself a solution and
see the capacity of the column with that reinforcement.
After deleting the reinforcement the program will display the window
below where we can see that the capacity of the element is zero.
The user can define the reinforcement by selecting the Typical

reinforcement command from the Reinforcement menu.
This way the user will have to go through three windows and provide
information regarding stirrup diameter and distribution as well as main
reinforcement parameters.
In the next windows we have indicated a possible reinforcement for
the column.
When we switch to the Column-Interaction N-M tab the program will

automatically perform the calculation in order to provide results according
to the new reinforcement. Every time we changed the reinforcement
provided by the program, it will ask as before calculation if we wish to
calculate the element with the modified reinforcement or the program will
delete all the reinforcement and will propose again a solution. In our case
we want to see the capacity of the beam with the reinforcement proposed
by us, so we will choose YES.
Below we can see the calculation note for the beam with the
reinforcement proposed by us.

RC Foundation Design - Provided reinforcement

select the element that will be calculated and access the RC Foundation
Design command from the Design menu/Provided reinforcement for RC
elements.
In the case of the foundations the program will provide additional
calculation regarding ground under foundation: tensions, settlement, etc.

In this window the user will provide the starting point of the
dimensioning process by indicating the dimensions of the foundation. Some
of these dimensions can be fixed so that the program will not change them
during calculation.
Before calculating the provided reinforcement we have to adjust four

sets of calculation parameters:
- RC Element/Soil
- Analysis menu/Geotechnical options...
In the first set mentioned, Soil, the user will provide information
regarding the soil under the foundation: layers, levels of the foundation
relative to zero level, admissible stress for ground and water level.
The second set named Geotechnical options allows the user to

choose what kind of verification to perform: settlement, rotation, sliding,
allowable eccentricity.
The calculation option set contain four tabs:

- General
- Concrete

The final set of options to be adjusted is the Reinforcement pattern.

Because the program will propose a real solution for reinforcement, we will
have to provide some rules that the program will follow when it will draw the
reinforcement.

When the calculation is finished we can switch to the FoundationResults tab and see the graphic results.
In the next tab, Foundation-Reinforcement, we can see the

reinforcement bars provided by the program. We can even change the
reinforcement and recalculate the element.
In the last tab called Foundation-note we can see a full calculation

note for the current calculated element. This calculation note can also be
