Improvements in components
There are several improvements in concrete components and steel components in Tekla Structures 2019i.
Concrete components
Rectangular area reinforcement (94) |
You can use the new Rectangular area reinforcement (94) component to reinforced rectangular areas. You can create column and beam section reinforcement to the inside of a wall or a slab. Select the part where the reinforcement is placed and pick two points to create the reinforcement. The part defines the thickness of the reinforced area, and the two points define the geometry and the location of the reinforced area. |
Automated reinforcement layout - Double tee beam (51) |
On the Strand profile tab, a new option has been added to depress the strand in 3 positions instead of 2 positions. |
Pad footing reinforcement (77) |
You can now define custom hooks for the primary and secondary rebars. |
Round column reinforcement (82) |
|
Braced girder (88) , Braced girder (89) |
There are now two new girder shapes available. |
Rebar in beam (90) |
On the Stirrups , Stirrups 2 and Stirrups 3 tabs, you can now select in Create stirrups whether stirrups are created As separate groups or As one group. Define the stirrup group spacings for the separate groups on the stirrup spacing tabs. |
Reinforced concrete stair (95) |
|
Concrete console (110) , Concrete console (111) |
On the Connection tab ( Concrete console (110) ) and Anchor tab ( Concrete console (111) ), you can now enter 79 characters in the Tube bottom Comment box. Previously, you could only enter 19 characters. Note that due to this change, the components and property files created with older Tekla Structures versions may have incorrect content in the Comment s of Tube bottom and Washers. We recommend that you check and update your property files. |
Floor layout |
|
Wall layout |
You can now use the Copy special > Mirror and Move special > Mirror commands to mirror wall layouts. |
Wall panel reinforcement |
|
Double wall edge and opening reinforcement , Wall panel reinforcement |
You can now define the type of door and notch reinforcement on the new Door and Notch tabs. |
Sandwich and double wall |
|
Sandwich wall horizontal seam |
On the Rabbets tab, you can now select a tongue or groove joint connection for both sides of the sandwich wall. If you create one tongue and one groove connection, it is possible to have the parts overlap. |
Mesh bars/Mesh bars by area |
|
Steel components
Base plate (1004) , Stiffened base plate (1014) , U.S. Base plate (1047) , Joining plates (14) , Stiffened end plate (27) , Partial stiff end plate (65) , Two sided end plate (142) , End plate (144) |
It is now possible to create two new types of shim plates where the shim plate is created as two separate plates divided horizontally or vertically with the corresponding slots. |
Tube crossing (22) |
On the Brace conn tab, you can now define a gap between the gusset and the connection plates. |
Tube gusset (20) , Tube crossing (22) |
On the Brace conn tab, you can now to set the position of the middle end plate. |
Shear Pl to tube column (47) |
|
Purlin 1 (61) |
On the Bolts tab, you can now select from the Slots in list the parts in which slotted holes are created. |
Partial stiff end plate (65) |
You can now define the distance between an L profile end and the top of the main part. |
Railings (S77) |
You can now define separate position and rotation settings for the top and bottom rails on the Rails tab and for the middle rails on the Middle Rails tab. |
Bridging (80) |
There are now 4 new bridging types available on the Parameters tab: Stratco , Safebridge , Metroll , and Steel and Tube. |
End plate (101) |
You can now align the end plate with the secondary part slope using the Adapt to secondary part slope option on the End plate tab. |
Stub connection (119) |
You can now set the thickness, material and name separately for the top, back and middle stiffeners on the Parts tab. |
Full depth (184) , Column with stiffeners (186) , Column with stiffeners (188) |
On the Plates tab, you can now select whether the shear tab is cut parallel to the main part web. |
JP Full depth special (185) |
You can now define the inner shear tab chamfers and the chamfer dimensions on the Plates tab. |
Stiffeners (1003) |
|
Stiffened base plate (1014) |
You can now select to create two grout holes on the Parameters tab. |
Doubler plate (1022) |
You can now use separate settings for horizontal and vertical welds. |
Stiffeners (1034) |
It is now possible to create a weld between the bottom flange of the main part and the stiffener plate using weld 2, and a weld between the top flange of the main part and the stiffener plate using weld 3. |
