Advanced Slab Design (RAM Concept)

This session will show how to obtain the design of any slab layout regardless of complexity, including reinforced concrete and post-tensioned slabs. The design can include thermal and shrinkage loading and can provide long-term deflection calculations for any time period and footfall vibration calculations which are critical for some environments such as a hospital floor.
