Modeling Swimming Pool (Walls) - Autodesk Robot

[@niisarpei3676]

I love the fact that you highlighted on the need to consider both hydrostatic pressure and active earth pressure on the walls of swimming pool during analysis as the swimming pool will never be always filled with water during its entire service life. Most engineers like myself usually ignore this provision. Thanks This channel is actually the best RSA tutorials channel I have come across on the internet after a long search. I searched on KZbin, Udemy and Autodesk webinars ( Rafael Gawenda, Arthur Kosakwoski et al) and nothing comes close to CEE webinars. Autodesk RSA webinars are usually not a step by step tutorials in the true sense but address issues users encounter whiles using RSA. Nothing step by step to help genuine beginners. As it’s usually said a software is as good as the engineer/user operating it. And this channel is the best place to learn the RSA software coupled with some engineering knowledge. You are a good tutor with many great ideas and I think you should you should write a book out of your experiences of using RSA in the future. You’d surely get buyers like myself, for that am sure. Thank you CEE You are the best 💯

I am glad you liked it. Furthermore, it is really amazing to see that all of you actually benefit from the little information snippets I add to my videos. As for my ability to deliver lectures, well, I am an Assistant Professor in a University, and teach courses there, so it is basically part of my skill-set ;-). I am also delighted that I am comparably amongst the top tier in your opinion. Such comments only encourage me to give it my all. There is a retaining wall that I have recorded yesterday, and am editing it at the moment. It should be released 12.09.2022. You and Eng. Khanye are referenced there by name ^_^ As for the book, I will consider it as a valid project I might undertake in the future, once this channel grows. As for now, I am focused on growing the channel ^_^. Stay tuned, and help spread the word by recommending the channel to your friends, encouraging them to subscribe. All the best, CEE

I like the way you make it easy, really thank you for all this effort, for the design of the walls and the rebar is there another video explaining this step Please.

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Sure thing. I still need to find time for it, but reinforcing the pool + raft design of a structure + dynamics series are definitely on my radar. I will push as hard as I can and hopefully make those possible. Regards, CEE

[@lorenzocatena4088]

@@CivilEngineeringEssentials Hi there! Considering the work-around about the "floor" used as a "wall", can the reinforced generated be used anyway? I'm a little bit concerned, only because only shape 00 is given back when doing calculation...

[@donaldkhanye9011]

Thank you CEE, you really make it look so easy. Your tutorial is full of all the essential concepts that are so often overlooked (the tutorial keeps true to the spirit of the channel name = essentials) I appreciate the time and detail that you took to explain the walls results [I am aware that this topic was introduced and covered before on your earlier tutorial about "Learning Basics of Plates and Shells" however you have made it even easier to relate the interpretation of the results by highlighting this again while using this relatively relatable structure. All the other information that you have provided including the importance of the circumferential modelling direction of the local x axis, and the panels orientation for the local z axis, .... the list is endless (in a good and welcomed way) is truly amazing. I am of the opinion that it is these seemingly small details that makes all the HUGE difference. I do not plan to miss your "...raft foundations in RSA..." tutorials after seeing this. Keep up the great work.

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Most welcome ^_^. I am glad you liked it. Furthermore, it is really amazing to see that my viewers immediately react to all the little details I provide in my videos. Like circumferential modeling (coz it helps have 1 single metric Mxx to determine the reinforcement horizontally, helping the user understand the results he sees). Such comments only encourage me to give it my all. There is a retaining wall that I have recorded yesterday, and am editing it at the moment. It should be released 12.09.2022. You and Eng. Serpei are referenced there by name ^_^ Stay tuned, and help spread the word by recommending the channel to your friends, encouraging them to subscribe. All the best, CEE

This is the best tutorial have seen on swimming pool design in RSA. I liked the fact you emphasised on the need to consider hydrostatic and soil pressure. I will be looking forward to your tutorial on raft foundation (mat foundation and mat with beam foundation) in RSA. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Hello there, thank you very much for your kind words. It encourages me to give it my all. Stay tuned for future videos, and why not watch the stuff posted in the channel. Thanks again, Regards, CEE

[@ricardolisboaeng]

Excellent class, the models I have developed include hydrostatic pressure, which applied on the bottom of the tank, directs to take it off the ground.

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

That is perfect. It means you have modeled the slab on the ground and applied forces to it. Perfect 👍

[@stephanc7192]

Great video

[@robertiravonga559]

Nice one 👌

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

thnx a lot. Stay tuned for more content ^_^

[@YashivYash]

Dear CEE Great work as always 👏 May we please get the design part of this video, more specifically the design of water retaining structures.

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Hi there, That is a great suggestion. I am going to cover it as soon as the RC building series is concluded Thank you very much for your support, CEE

[@BA-gp7sr]

Thank you for this amazing content.I am wondering if you could make a video on modeling the floor of a pool

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Hi there dear Engr. That is a wonderful idea. I will have to finish my RC structure series first, as I am currently working on it. Stay tuned for more content, also, if possible, suggest this channel to your friends. Regards, CEE

[@ELHAOUARIAbdelhalim]

I share the same opinion: it will be perfect to finalize the design of the pool floor and provide the reinforcement of the whole structure. Thank you CEE ❤ By the way we would like to have more insights on this amazing tutor we have :). Keep up!

[@lorenzocatena4088]

​@@CivilEngineeringEssentials Hi! Your videos are awesome. I would definitely love to see the slab finalised as well. I'm trying to mix this video with the retaining wall, which indicated how to model the slab too. But it would be awesome to have a video explaining properly how to do it using the floor command. Thank you very much!!!

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

@@lorenzocatena4088 Yep, I saw your comments. This video and the retaining wall video have not mentioned anything with regard to the design, I think I should prepare me smthn about the full workflow for those. Thnx for the suggestion, CEE

[@anasbentounsi1272]

Great CEE, Part 2 ?

[@OmarJustice]

Thank you very much, but i want to ask i have a semicircular swimming pool not rectangular, how can i draw ita walls in robot?

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

You can do that via: Geometry -> Objects then you can draw a cylinder and attach materials to it. try it out and let me know if you need more guidance. I am always happy to help Regards, CEE

[@donaldkhanye2323]

@CEE: I have been trying to comment on this tutorial since yesterday but somehow my comment just don't show up after posting them. This is so frustrating, I ended up creating another gmail address which I have now used below to comment. I would like you to know that your videos are being watched and they are highly appreciated. I may not be able to comment due to youtube/gmail account issues but I will continue to watch every time!

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Hello there, First of all, thank you very much for your comments, it encourages me to do my very best in all the future videos. I am currently preparing a deeper video abour RC retaining walls, still editting it. Should be posted in 3 days. I think youtube sometimes blocks comments due to possible spam. For future videos, I will deactivate those filters, thus making commenting easier. Anyways, stay tuned for future videos. This is only the start ^_^ Regards, CEE

[@donaldkhanye2323]

@@CivilEngineeringEssentials Many thanks and I am looking forward to the RC retaining wall video. It is music to my ears to hear you say “…..this is only the start…”. In case you were wondering, you are doing PERFECT so far 💯+ all the way!

[@sentumbwefarouk9247]

dear dr.CEE,thank u for tthe work, tho there is a question, when applying soil pressure there is an error of , "the load has been applied. please check the soil level, how do we go about it:"

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Hi there, Please Make sure you typed the panel number Here is a link from Autodesk to show you the steps forums.autodesk.com/t5/robot-structural-analysis-forum/please-check-soil-level-with-reference-to-location-of-loaded/td-p/7636801

[@sothattheng8624]

Thanks for your sharing! why swimming pool no bottom slab only have wall?

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Glad you liked it. For now I only wanted to model the walls I will cover foundation stuff after I explain Raft foundations in Robot. Stay tuned 👍

[@sothattheng8624]

@@CivilEngineeringEssentials Thanks for your kind sharing the knowledge. I'm looking to see more.

[@nickbailey1640]

Very good tutorial but how come the lateral earth pressure is 51.68kPa? With only 2m of earth, shouldn't it be around 25kPa, so half ??

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

I just checked the video again, in 6:55 it shows the pressure at level 0 to be around 21-24 kPa, so as you were expecting, I am still surprised that it shows on the load label 51. I need to investigate this to be honest, I think it might be a bug. Regards, CEE

[@nickbailey1640]

Yea, I'm working on a project at the moment and having exact same issue😢 I have spent hours trying to rectify it so I think you are right about it being a bug

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

@@nickbailey1640 A nice "hack" is to modify your specific gravity so that it produces the pressure you are expecting.

[@nickbailey1640]

Good idea

[@sothattheng8624]

Dear CEE, As I'm re-watching your Swimming pool model and Analysis with RSA I'm wondering why you draw wall with floors? Why not draw with wall?

[@CivilEngineeringEssentials]

Hi there, thank you very much for your comment. To your question, the reason is: because when you tell RSA to design, if it is a wall, it treats it as a shear wall. I will make me a quick video explaining the differences. Stay tuned for that. Will publish it this week

[@sothattheng8624]
