Our software platform IMPACT was used to model and detail the hollow core slabs.
A synopsis of the requirement
- Precast design with steel structures. Hollow core slabs were to be connected with steel beams, and all steel beams had to have anchor bolts welded to them to enable connections with hollow core slabs.
- The floor layout was complicated due to geometry of the structure and service ducts & holes in the floor. The floor level also had variations.
Solution offered and the benefits
- Optimized Hollow core layout was achieved using IMPACT. Repetition of same element marks obtained from IMPACT
- Combining IFC model from IMPACT Hollow cores and IFC from steel gave the advantage of collaborating between two different construction materials.
- Errors were minimized due to better control of IFC models.
- Overall 3D representation of Steel and Precast elements was a salient feature for the customer.
Feature to highlight
- For this project, we utilized the IMPACT machine file output feature, which was used for plotting of cut-outs on Molds
