Free Edge

Cantilevered slabs can also be defined in the Building Modeller. In order to do so, a Free Edge must be drawn to outline the shape of the slab.

After the definition of the free edge, users can insert a new slab.

Note: Slabs are modelled in SeismoBuild as rigid diaphragms that connect the beams, columns and walls in their perimeter, and as additional loads applied to the beams. In the case of cantilevered slabs no rigid diaphragm is created and a slab is only considered as additional mass on the supporting beam; the additional mass account for the slabs' permanent and live loads.
