Tiivistelmä
This bachelor’s thesis was commissioned by Pöyry Finland Oy and Lujabetoni Oy.
The purpose of the thesis was to study and describe the new product on the Finnish market called Luja-Superlaatta, which is a prefabricated prestressed concrete slab. Another aim was to test and analyze its modeling capabilities in the Tekla Structures BIM (Building Information Modeling) software. One of the goals was also to collect and systemize the data that may be used by structural designers not acquainted with the product and its design. Some information presented further is based on the discussions with the manufacturer of the product and sources in Finnish. Therefore, this thesis may be used as a main reference for English-speaking specialists, too.
The thesis consists of three main chapters. The first chapter is focused on the theoretical background of reinforced concrete slabs. The provided information may be used as a basic knowledge reference for further chapters. The second chapter defines Luja-Superlaatta and its design features and regulations. In the last chapter, the modeling method obtained during the study is described, certain errors and flaws are presented, and several compatible modeling tools and hints are listed. In the end, a small summary about possible improvements is added. In the appendices, some useful information including the approved examples of required structural drawings is provided.
