Slab Tributary Load-Path Workbench
Connect the framing plan to transparent classroom calculations: panel geometry, area load, support-line reactions, beam collection, column accumulation, and foundation transfer.
TWO-WAY preliminary action
Aspect ratio = 6.00 / 4.00 = 1.50. This classification is a reading aid. Actual slab behavior follows the approved analysis, support stiffness, continuity, reinforcement, openings, and structural system.
Gross / net area
Opening area is removed only for this classroom load total.
Total panel load
Unfactored classroom input.
Short-edge share
Per short support line in the teaching distribution.
Long-edge share
Per long support line; zero in the two-edge model.
Coordination flags
Opening, near-threshold ratio, continuity, and support assumptions.
Technical drawing viewport
Quantified slab-to-foundation load path
Calculation boundary
This workbench does not perform structural design, code load combinations, finite-element analysis, punching-shear checks, beam design, diaphragm analysis, foundation sizing, or soil-pressure verification. It teaches how drawing geometry and stated loads connect through a traceable conceptual path.
