How to add floor load to balconies where there is no beams on the other side of the edge of the balcony using group option or using y range

[@ermiaskibrom7546]

You are really super smart thank you for making things easy and concrete to understand. I hope to keep it up

[@CivilBlackBox]

Wow! Such a wonderful comment. You made my day! Thanks!

[@robertiravonga559]

I now understand what range is and how to apply floor loads. Thanks

[@CivilBlackBox]

You are most welcome

[@robertiravonga559]

Thanks for your teachings. You’re breaking it down in a very simple way. Now, can staad pro do detailing of rebar? Do you have a video showing rebar detailing for various elements? Thanks

[@ajaypratap2956]

In this video you are explaining floor load including slab weight. But under dead load we assign self weight to view to whole structure. I do not think so it again is calculated.only ceiling plaster and floor finishing loading should be added.

[@CivilBlackBox]

There are two ways of designing slabs. One is where you consider slabs to be plates (not a very efficient way) and the second is where you consider slab as floor load. In the latter case you need to add all the loads, ie. Slab Weight, Floor Weight, Ceiling Plaster etc to calculate the floor load.

1.Sir in STADD floor load option is for slabs? 2.Assigning self weight options is for beam and coloumns? 3.where we can apply plate load?

[@CivilBlackBox]

1. Yes, floor load option is for applying slab floor loads. 2. Self weight is assigned on all types of members (eg. beams, columns, plates, solids or physical members). Anything that you have modeled will be given a self weight. 3. For applying plate loads you will have to first model the plate. You can check out my online course for full details : www.civilblackbox.com/structural-consultancy-blackbox

[@binayaksamanta863]

Difference between floor loads and plate loads? What should we apply in our structure?

[@CivilBlackBox]

Both are almost the same in the sense that both end up giving similar end results. However, floor loads should be used when you are designing only the frame structure i.e. Beams and Columns without the hassle of overloading your structure with Plates to represent slabs. If you are using plates as slabs, plate loads are the way to go. In my opinion, it's better to just analyze the frame structure without the slabs by using the Floor Loads option in STAAD. Hope this helps!

[@binayaksamanta863]

@@CivilBlackBox ok sir but if we analysis the structure without plate then how we will get slab moment for designing?

[@CivilBlackBox]

Slab designing is completely different from Beams and columns. In slabs the main role is the floor loads only. Hence, a slab can be easily designed using manual calculations as opposed to beams and columns where different loads create different interactions. Slab loads can be mimicked by Floor Loads without the need of actually modeling the plate.

Please explain Member Load and how do we get member load in a real project,For example there is Member Load that we have to add in Load Cases Details Seismic load and Dead Load,

[@executiveengineer2921]

we need not to multiply with factor of safety to the loads given in IS code to enter in Staad pro? Please help me.

[@CivilBlackBox]

Of course you need to multiply the factor of safety as per the codal provisions. This video was just about how to apply this particular type of load and hence I have skipped the factor of safety part.

[@rathodchirag3354]

Plz tell me wich software for professional structure designing is best? and another thanks for this vidio keep it up 👍🏻 for helpings us

[@CivilBlackBox]

To be very fair, it depends. STAAD is a great solution when it comes to professional structural designing. However, there are many similar solutions out there. In my opinion it is better to stick with one and get expert in it. There may be nuances in a software but if you know a software in and out you will most likely be able to handle all the scenarios even with certain shortcomings. No software is perfect. Remember that. Hope it helps.

[@rishabh6155]

sir if we have modeled the plate then we have to use plate load. but in plate load, there is no option for one way distribution then how to deal with it?

[@CivilBlackBox]

Plate load distribution will depend upon the mesh size. When you use Plate elements we go inside the Finite Element Method. Hence, there is no more the case of one way and two way distribution.

[@rishabh6155]

@@CivilBlackBox Okay got it, thank you.

[@abdulkadirhassanahmed956]

Shouldn't the Y-range of the floor load be applied to Minimum 3 to Max 6 in order to design the 1st and 2nd floor beams instead of only assigning 6m height which in this case, in my view wil only consider the top portion of the structure. Thanks I really enjoy watching you.

[@CivilBlackBox]

In my example I clearly state that I just wanted the loads on the Top Floor. Of course changing the Min and Max to 3 and 6m would load both the ground floor roof and first floor roof. However, that was not my intention in this case. Hope that clarifies things. Do check out my other channel too and support me there as well. bit.ly/2QLUWR3 Cheers.

[@abdulkadirhassanahmed956]

@@CivilBlackBox I didn't know that. Thanks for shedding light on. I already did subscribe

[@robertiravonga559]

That was the case. Only the top floor

[@rishabh6155]

sir, you calculated the self-weight of the slab member, instead of that if we assign the slab member and then assign self-weight to the whole structure? Would this be correct or not?

[@CivilBlackBox]

Of course that would be correct. The point is not to overdo the analysis. Making plate members just for the purpose of self weight application is kind of an overkill. The main load taking elements are beam and columns anyways. So why bother increasing the analysis for that? I hope that makes sense.

[@gowthamiv4841]

What is the difference btn area load and floor load? Can you make video of each load Types

[@CivilBlackBox]

Area load is similar to Floor load but the same has been discontinued by STAAD themselves. Hence, Floor load is the way to go!

[@Mayank-gy9wp]

Awsome Explanation. One question, do we need to apply floor load on ground floor as well? because that load gets distributed to soil underneath it or not?

[@CivilBlackBox]

Yes you need to apply the load on Ground Floor as well. The load actually gets transferred to the Foundation from where it is dispersed to the soil underneath.

[@harshitchauhan1792]

Sir there is one small doubt... In the calculation of DL you have taken into account the tile wt. And screening wt. If in the analysis we have been given the value of floor finish.. then we have to include it separately or this tile wt and screening comes under floor finish?

[@CivilBlackBox]

If you have been given the value of floor finish, that would in itself mean screeding and tile weight (or whatever floor type). However, if you are still in doubt do a manual calculation and check if the value of screeding + tile is close the value of floor finish you have been provided with.

[@CivilBlackBox]

I think you should Start off with Strength of Materials, Structural Analysis, RCC design, Steel design and study all the important codes relevant to Structural Design such as IS 456, 875 all parts, 1893 and so on. That should be a good starting point.
