Hi,
A discussion that seems to come up in our office is how beams should be modelled.
Should they be modelled as beams or slabs?
For example, if you have a slab with 1200 – 2400 wide beams should they be modelled as slabs and small beams can be modelled as beams? The issues is that there is then no consistency?
Currently we model beams no-matter how wide they are or if there are upstand beams.
Any comments or suggestions on approach to model beams is much appreciated.
