From “slab design” to
“floor structural-system design”
What's truly hard about industrial floors isn't slab thickness — it's subgrade, interface friction, voids and long-term prestress: the parts most reliant on experience and hardest to standardize. Taishu·Design makes them reviewable, traceable and engineer-signed.
The system doesn't replace engineers with a black box; it turns the parts of floor design that most rely on experience, are most easily underestimated and hardest to standardize, into reviewable, traceable, continuously improving technical assets.
Why plain slab-thickness calculation
can't manage an industrial floor
A floor's real risk depends on the interaction between slab, support system, interface system and long-term operation. Taishu·Design upgrades the “floor slab” to a “floor structural system”.
Subgrade effects
The subgrade isn't a single k value. Bearing capacity, settlement, differential settlement, uneven fill, trenches, groundwater, cold-storage frost heave, long-term degradation and slab voids must all be handled.
Core question: can the subgrade provide stable, uniform, continuous, predictable support throughout the design life.
Interface friction & slip
The horizontal direction governs prestress release and shrinkage-crack risk; the vertical direction governs bending-tensile amplification under wheel loads, rack posts and equipment bases.
Goal: controlled low friction, reliable vertical support, necessary edge release, key-point restraint.
Long-term · local heavy load · nodes · construction
Shrinkage/temperature/creep/relaxation/anchorage and friction losses together set long-term effective prestress; forklifts/AGV/rack posts bring fatigue; column edges, doorways, temperature-zone joints and construction-stage control decide real crack risk.
These “most underestimated” parts are exactly what decide whether a floor serves long-term.
How fast routine projects ship,
how complex ones get reviewed
Four cores with clear roles: layers 1, 2 and 4 form the main delivery loop for routine projects; the third high-order FE layer is a conditionally-triggered, templated review.
Engineering Rule Engine
Codifies standards, company experience, scenario differences and risk judgment into executable rules. Even with sparse input it forms a sound path and clearly surfaces data gaps and items needing review.
Light Calculation Core
Explainable calculation of slab-subgrade, prestress, loads, fatigue and subgrade sensitivity. More reliable than Excel, lighter than general FE; outputs split into deterministic, range, risk grade and review trigger.
High-order FE Review Core
Templated review for non-uniform subgrade, contact/void, friction slip, local overloads and cold-storage repair. Entered only when review triggers are hit — never overused.
CAD/BIM Auto Drawing & Delivery
Turns results into construction base drawings, node drafts, calc reports, material lists and asset-archive data (DXF/PDF/Word/IFC) — decoupled from the calc core, version-traceable.
Who's accountable when issues arise?
Every conclusion is traceable to its source
Every design conclusion carries five elements — low-certainty conclusions use range, grade or review trigger, and engineer confirmation is completed before formal delivery.
Parameter source
Client input / drawing recognition / default assumption / engineer confirmation / rule derivation, each labeled.
Confidence level
Low-confidence params (settlement/friction/void) use range and grade — no fake precision.
Calculation method
Each check shows formula, values, result, conclusion and governing case.
Risk explanation
Each risk item gives a recommendation and whether it enters high-order review.
Engineer sign-off
Formal output is reviewed, signed and archived by the engineer; AI only extracts and drafts, never decides structural parameters.
What customers buy
is executable engineering output
Engineering Scheme
Floor-system recommendation, initial parameters, risk grade and option-comparison basis.
Structural Calc Report
Generated from structured results as the single source; sources, formulas and conclusions traceable, versions bound to rules/core.
Drawings · Nodes
Parametric base drawings and templated node drafts, completed by engineers into construction details, entering internal review and release.
Asset Archive Data
Long-term service risk and asset-archive data (incl. IFC), can flow into Taishu·Twin for a design-operation loop.
For the long-term value of industrial buildings
The design baseline flows into the operation archive
Parameters and drawings frozen by Design become the baseline for acceptance and inspection in Taishu·Twin — design and operation, one set of engineering objects, one evidence chain.
Hand the hardest floor structural design
to a reviewable engineering core
Whether new prestressed floors, heavy-load plants or cold-storage repair, start with one technical talk.
