Design very similar to flat slab design but with some specific issues which have to be adressed:
Loading Load combinations Support Lines Shear Staged g Construction

Information Received
Load run down and wall location drawing (vertical loads) Etabs Model lateral Loads

Load Input
Vertical loads by manipulation of Text files
Import drawing into ADAPT Create walls in ADAT environment Report wall coordinates from ADAPT text files into XL Assign wall loads Reimport wall loads based upon co ordinates back into adapt text files

Load Input
Lateral Loads by Direct Input from Etabs

Load Input
Leads to compatibility with Etabs model.

Load Combinations
SLS-Dead Live and pretress Loads only ULS-Dead, Live, Hyperstatic and Lateral in multiple combinations

Wind and Earthquake Loads are not considered at SLS

Serviceability is defined in codes as the loads which the structure is subject to under normal conditions Wind and earthquake codes are based upon extreme events ie 1:50 year, 1:100 year

Selection of Support Lines
Complex as structure is non orthogonal

Shear Problems with the traditional approach
Punching shear: Punching shear calculations in codes are based upon empirical studies of flat slabs subject to uniform loads loads. Columns below are generally massive, many of the loads above the plate are transferred directly to the column.

Staged Construction Design theory: L Lower pour t tendons d sacrificial ifi i l supports t upper pour self lf weight i ht Lower pour tendons supports self weight upper pour supports loads above plate Lower pour tendon supports self weight. Combination of upper and lower pour tendon support loads above plate

More conservative the assumption less efficient the design More efficient the design the more complex the analysis
Can be done with ADAPT Builder but not automatically
