Specifying general parameters

Specify the structure type, spans and concrete mixes on the General Parameters page of the Wizard.

Setting	Description
Structure Type	Decide what type of structure you want Strip Wizard to create and whether to use post-tensioning. The floor can be set up as post-tensioned or reinforced and can be one of the following systems: Two-way slab One-way slab Beam Joist
Spans	Enter the number of spans for the strip (not including cantilevers). Decide if you are using start or end cantilevers. Check "Asymmetric" to allow the model to have different tributaries on either side of the columns.
Concrete Mixes	Choose a concrete mix for the slabs and beams and one for the supports.

Description

Structure Type

Decide what type of structure you want Strip Wizard to create and whether to use post-tensioning. The floor can be set up as post-tensioned or reinforced and can be one of the following systems:

Two-way slab
One-way slab
Beam
Joist

Spans

Enter the number of spans for the strip (not including cantilevers). Decide if you are using start or end cantilevers. Check "Asymmetric" to allow the model to have different tributaries on either side of the columns.

Concrete Mixes

Choose a concrete mix for the slabs and beams and one for the supports.

Note: The concrete mixes available are the mixes in the new file created when you started Strip Wizard. If you want to use specific mixes, use a template when creating the new file.
