20. Introduction
Types of Slab
One way slab
Two way Slab
A reinforced concrete slab is a broad, flat plate, usually horizontal, with top and
bottom surfaces parallel or nearly so.
It may be supported by RC beams, by masonry or reinforced walls, by structural
steel members, directly by columns or continuously by the ground
Flexural stresses are dominated in slab therefore slabs are called flexural
members
Shear forces are mostly controlled by thickness of slab
Torsional reinforcement are provided at the corner of slab (two way slab)
The reinforcement are provide parallel to surface of slab in both direction
depends on flexural behavior

22. The slab which is supported only on two sides or supported on four sides with
longer to shorter side ratio equal to or greater than two i.e
aspect ratio M=L/S ≥ 2 (lb/la = ≥ 2)
In one way slab, loads travel along the shorter span of slab
Therefore main bars are provided along the deflection profile as shown in the
figure
In the other direction temperature/shrinkage/distribution reinforcement are
provided

Analysis
Unlike beams and columns, slabs are two dimensional members. Therefore
their analysis except one-way slab systems is relatively difficult.
Design
Once the analysis is done, the design is carried out in the usual manner. So no
problem in design, problem is only in analysis of slabs.
Analysis Methods
Analysis using computer software (FEA)

Strip Method of Analysis for One-way Slabs
For purposes of analysis and design, a unit strip of one way slab, cut out at
right angles to the supporting beams, may be considered as a rectangular
beam of unit width, with a depth h and a span la as shown.
The strip method of analysis and design of
slabs having bending in one direction is
applicable only when:
Slab is supported on only two sides on stiff
beams or walls,
Slab is supported on all sides on stiff beams
or walls with ratio of larger to smaller side
greater than 2.
Note: Not applicable to flat plates etc., even
if bending is primarily in one direction.

Basic Steps for Structural Design
Loads:
According to ACI 8.2 — Service loads shall be in accordance with the general
building code of which this code forms a part, with such live load reductions as
are permitted in the general building code.
BCP SP-2007 is General Building Code of Pakistan and it refers to ASCE 7-10
for minimum design loads for buildings and other structures.
One-way slabs are usually designed for gravity loading
(U = 1.2D + 1.6L).

Analysis:
Chapter 8 of the ACI addresses provisions for the analysis of concrete
members.
According to ACI 8.3.3, as an alternate to frame analysis, ACI approximate
moments shall be permitted for analysis of one-way slabs with certain
restrictions, which are as follows:

spandrel beam - when wall can not take weight of slab or floor , In such cases,
the beams are provided exterior walls at each floor level to support the wall load
and perhaps some roof load also , known as spandrel beam.
It is not necessary that under the beam always be wall, there can be column and
window but spandrel beam will provide only at exterior wall.

At the discontinuous end, the ACI code recommends to provide

Beam Design
Step No 01: Sizes
Minimum thickness of beam (simply
supported) = hmin = l/16
l = clear span (ln) + depth of member (beam) ≤
c/c distance between supports
Let depth of beam = 5′
ln + depth of beam = 60′ + 5′ = 65′
c/c distance between beam supports = 60 + 2
× (9/12) = 61.5′
Therefore l = 61.5′
Depth (h) = (61.5/16)×(0.4+fy/100000)×12=
36.9″ (Minimum by ACI 9.3.1.1).
Take h = 5′ = 60″
d = h – 3 = 57″
bw = 18″ (assumed)

Step No 02: Loads
Load on beam will be equal to
Factored load on beam from slab +

Factored load on slab = 0. 214 ksf
Load on beam from slab = 0. 214 ksf x 10

Factored Self load of beam web =

Step No 04: Design
Design for flexure
Step (a): According to ACI 6.3.2.1, beff for T-beam is minimum of:
16hf + bw = 16 × 6 + 18 =114″
(clear length of beam)/4 =(60′/4) ×12 + 18 =198″
clear spacing between beams + bw =8.5′ × 12 + 18 =120″
So beff = 114″
Step (b): Check if beam is to be designed as rectangular beam or T-beam.
Assume a = hf = 6″ and calculate As:
As =Mu/ {Φfy (d–a/2)} =19034/ {0.9 × 40 × (57–6/2)} = 9.79 in2
Re-calculate “a”:
a =Asfy/ (0.85fc′beff) =9.79 × 40/ (0.85 × 3 × 114) = 1.34″ < hf
Therefore design beam as rectangular beam.
After trials As = 9.38 in2 (Asmax = 20.83 in2 ;Asmin = 5.13 in2)
Therefore As = 9.38 in2 (12 #8 bars)

Skin Reinforcement : (ACI 9.7.2.3)
As the effective depth d of a beam is greater than 36 inches, longitudinal skin
reinforcement is required as per ACI 9.7.2.3.
Askin, = Main flexural reinforcement/2 = 9.60/2 = 4.8 in2
Range up to which skin reinforcement is provided:

For #8 bar used in skin reinforcement,

is least of:
d/6 = 56.625/6 = 9.44″, 12″, or
1000Ab/(d – 30) = 1000×0.80/(56.625 – 30) = 30.05″
Therefore ssk = 9.44″ ≈ 9″
With this spacing, 3 bars on each face are required.
And for # 8 bar, the total area of skin reinforcement is:
Askin = 6 × 0.80 = 4.8 in2

Maximum spacing and minimum reinforcement requirement as permitted by ACI
9.7.6.2.2 and 10.6.2.2 shall be minimum of:

d/2 =56.625/2 =28.3″
24″
Avfy/ 0.75 √fc’ bw = 0.22 × 40000/ {(0.75 × √3000 × 18} = 11.90″
Therefore, smax = 9.5″
ΦVc /2 = 83.74/2 = 41.87 kips at a distance of 17.5 ft from face of the support.
Therefore no reinforcemnt is required in this zone, however, we will provide #3,

Φ8 √fc’ bwd = 0.75 × 8 × √3000 × 18 × 56.625/1000 = 334.96 k
ΦVs = (ΦAvfyd)/smax
= (0.75 × 0.22 × 40 × 56.625)/9.5 = 39.3 k < 334.96 k, O.K.

Otherwise reduce spacing by one half.
Φ4√ fc′bwd = 0.75 × 4 × √3000 × 18 × 56.625/1000= 167.47 k
ΦVs = (ΦAvfyd)/sd
= (0.75 × 0.22 × 40 × 56.625)/9.5 = 39.33 k < 167.47 k, O.K.
78. RCD
In this design example, the beams were supported on walls.
This was done to simplify analysis.
For practical reasons, however, the beams must be supported
on columns and hence the structural analysis will be that of a
frame rather than simply supported beam.
In the subsequent slides, the analysis and design results for
beams supported on columns have been provided.
