Slab Deformation and Beams
16
Design of Tall Buildings: Hybrid Learning System, Dr. Naveed Anwar
• The load carried by a combination of beams and slabs depends on the
relative stiffness of the beams and slabs as well as the geometric
configuration
• Two beams supporting the same width of slab with the same span may
not carry the same load, as assumed in conventional approach
• The slabs can be assumed to be resting on beams unless the beam
stiffness is fairly large compared to the stiffness of the supported slab
• Slab-beam stiffness ratio is specially important if some sides of the slab
are supported on walls
Importance of Stiffness

• The beams and slabs in a floor system act together to transfer the load to
the columns. It cannot be assumed automatically that the beams will
support the slab.
• The moment in slabs over beam may not be negative depending on the
size of panes, size of beam span beam, thickness of slabs, etc.
• The ACI approach of treating all slab systems (flat slab, waffle slab, beam
slab ) in a consistent manner is more realistic than designing slabs
separately and beams separately

Design of Tall Buildings: Hybrid Learning System, Dr. Naveed Anwar
• Basic Concepts
– When Ly/Lx > 2 , one-way slabs
– The load is “primarily” carried in one direction
– Only Mx or My is considered
– Can be considered as “Shallow Beam Strips”
– Main reinforcement in one direction
– Temperature/shrinkage reinforcement in other direction
– Consider the “Beam Shear” case for slab shear
– Used in Deck Slabs, Precast slabs, Beam and Slab
One-way Slabs
25
Design of Tall Buildings: Hybrid Learning System, Dr. Naveed Anwar
• Design Procedure
– Step 1: Model as a simple or continuous beam
– Step 2: Estimate thickness based on deflection

– Compute Total “Panel Design Moment, Mo
– Assign Mo to supports and mid-span (-ve and +ve)
– Distribute moment to various components
• Equivalent Frame Method (EFM)
– Create equivalent frame
– Apply loads and Analyze the Frame
– Obtain design moments at supports and mid-span
– Distribute moment to various components

54
Design of Tall Buildings: Hybrid Learning System, Dr. Naveed Anwar
• Basic Considerations
– Construct over all frame
– Modify properties for columns and joint zones
• Analysis for lateral loads
– Requires “Full” frame model
– Reduced “Strip” width to account for Slab-Column connection
– Simple loading
• Analysis for Gravity Loads
– May use Full Frame
– Several load cases for pattern live load
– More complex loading
– Can include results of Lateral Load Analysis
Equivalent Frame Method
55
Design of Tall Buildings: Hybrid Learning System, Dr. Naveed Anwar
• Connection (a) and (b) can be
modeled as normal “rigid” frame joint
• Connection (c) is not fully rigid and is
flexible
• This reduces the effective stiffness of
the joint
• The “Equivalent Frame” method takes
care of this behavior
Floor – Column Connection
56
Design of Tall Buildings: Hybrid Learning System, Dr. Naveed Anwar
• To account for the variation in stiffness
along the span
– This increases the fixed end moments
– The negative moment near columns
increases
– The positive moments decrease

• ETABS first automatically meshes the deck into quadrilateral elements
• Once the meshing is complete, ETABS determines the meshed shell
elements that have real beams along them and those that have imaginary
beams
• It also determines which edges of the meshed shell elements are also
edges of the deck.

  • 17.
    Design of TallBuildings: Hybrid Learning System, Dr. Naveed Anwar • The load carried by a combination of beams and slabs depends on the relative stiffness of the beams and slabs as well as the geometric configuration • Two beams supporting the same width of slab with the same span may not carry the same load, as assumed in conventional approach • The slabs can be assumed to be resting on beams unless the beam stiffness is fairly large compared to the stiffness of the supported slab • Slab-beam stiffness ratio is specially important if some sides of the slab are supported on walls Importance of Stiffness 17

    Design of TallBuildings: Hybrid Learning System, Dr. Naveed Anwar • The beams and slabs in a floor system act together to transfer the load to the columns. It cannot be assumed automatically that the beams will support the slab. • The moment in slabs over beam may not be negative depending on the size of panes, size of beam span beam, thickness of slabs, etc. • The ACI approach of treating all slab systems (flat slab, waffle slab, beam slab ) in a consistent manner is more realistic than designing slabs separately and beams separately Comments 23
