5.) RCD - Midterm Library Work Quiz 2 - Concept (2-Way Slab)

The document discusses analysis and design methods for two-way slabs according to the ACI code, including: 1) The moment coefficient method, which uses coefficients and tables to determine moments in two-way slabs supported on all sides. 2) The direct design method, which distributes the total factored static moment to slab and beam sections to satisfy safety and serviceability requirements. 3) The equivalent frame method, which represents the three-dimensional slab system with two-dimensional frames that are then analyzed for loads and distributed to slab sections.

) 1Two-way slabs are such slabs in which the loads are shared by both the shorter and longer
direction of the slab. The ratio of longer span of slab to the shorter span of slab is less or equals to
Two-way slab being supported on four sides the load will be carried in both the directions.

MOMENT COEFFICIENT METHOD
• The Moment Coefficient Method included for the first time in 1963 ACI Code is applicable to two-
way slabs supported on four sides of each slab panel by walls, steel beams relatively deep, stiff,
edge beams (h = 3hf ).
• Although, not included in 1977 and later versions of ACI code, its continued use is permissible
under the ACI 318-11 code provision (13.5.1). Visit ACI 13.5.1.

STEPS IN MOMENT COEFFICIENT METHOD
a) hmin = perimeter/ 180 = 2(la + lb )/180 f) Calculate Moments and then
b) Calculate loads on slab design
c) Calculate m = la / lb g) Apply reinforcement
d) Decide about case of slab requirements (smax = 2hf , ACI
e) Use table to pick moment 13.3.2)

Determination of moment coefficients
A Where:
m=
B A= Shorter length of the slab.
B= Longer length of the slab.

Case type is identified from end condition. Using the value of ‘m’ corresponding moment
coefficients are obtained for respective ‘case type’ from corresponding tables. The co-efficients are:
 CA neg and CB neg
 CA DL pos and CB DL pos
 CA LL pos and CB LL pos

Ca, Cb = Moment Coefficients


la = Length of clear span in short direction
lb = Length of clear span in long direction
Ma = Moment in the short direction
Mb = Moment in the long direction
w = Uniform load
2.) 4Larger share of the load is carried in the shorter direction, the ratio of the two portions of
the load being inversely proportional to the fourth power of the ratio of spans. lab can be
modeled as grid, some strips of which (particularly the outer strips) are not only bent but
also twisted. Consequently, the total load on the slab is carried not only by bending
moments in two directions, but also twisting moments. For this reason, bending moments
in elastic slabs would be smaller than that would be computed for sets of unconnected
strips loaded by wa and wb.

Corner reinforcement are also called as torsional reinforcement. Torsional reinforcement
shall be provided at corner of two way slab. The torsional moment are high near the
corner therefore, torsional reinforcement is essential to prevent corner slab from lifting
and prevents cracks.

ACI CODE
8.7.3 Corner restraint in slabs
8.7.3.1 At exterior corners of slabs supported by edge walls or where one or more edge
beams have a value of αf greater than 1.0, reinforcement at top and bottom of slab shall be
designed to resist Mu per unit width due to corner effects equal to the maximum positive Mu
per unit width in the slab panel.
8.7.3.1.1 Factored moment due to corner effects, Mu, shall be assumed to be about an axis
perpendicular to the diagonal from the corner in the top of the slab and about an axis parallel
to the diagonal from the corner in the bottom of the slab.
8.7.3.1.2 Reinforcement shall be provided for a distance in each direction from the corner
equal to one-fifth the longer span.
8.7.3.1.3 Reinforcement shall be placed parallel to the diagonal in the top of the slab and
perpendicular to the diagonal in the bottom of the slab. Alternatively, reinforcement shall be
placed in two layers parallel to the sides of the slab in both the top and bottom of the slab.

Direct design method
The direct design method consists of a set of rules for distributing moments to slab and beam
sections to satisfy safety requirements and most serviceability requirements simultaneously.
Three fundamental steps are involved as follows:
a. Determination of the total factored static moment (8.10.3)
b. Distribution of the total factored static moment to negative and positive sections (8.10.4)
c. Distribution of the negative and positive factored moments to the column and middle
strips and to the beams, if any (8.10.5 and 8.10.6). The distribution of moments to
column and middle strips is also used in the equivalent frame method (8.11)

8.10.2 Limitations for use of direct design method


8.10.2.1 There shall be at least three continuous spans in each direction.
8.10.2.2 Successive span lengths measured center-tocenter of supports in each direction shall
not differ by more than one-third the longer span.
8.10.2.3 Panels shall be rectangular, with the ratio of longer to shorter panel dimensions,
measured center-tocenter of supports, not to exceed 2.
8.10.2.4 Column offset shall not exceed 10 percent of the span in direction of offset from
either axis between centerlines of successive columns.
8.10.2.5 All loads shall be due to gravity only and uniformly distributed over an entire panel.
8.10.2.6 Unfactored live load shall not exceed two times the unfactored dead load.

8.11.2 Equivalent frames


8.11.2.1 The structure shall be modeled by equivalent frames on column lines taken
longitudinally and transversely through the building.
8.11.2.2 Each equivalent frame shall consist of a row of columns or supports and slab-beam
strips bounded laterally by the panel centerline on each side of the centerline of columns or
supports. 8.11.2.3 Frames adjacent and parallel to an edge shall be bounded by that edge and
the centerline of the adjacent panel.
8.11.2.4 Columns or supports shall be assumed to be attached to slab-beam strips by torsional
members transverse to the direction of the span for which moments are being calculated and
extending to the panel centerlines on each side of a column.
8.11.2.5 Analysis of each equivalent frame in its entirety shall be permitted. Alternatively,
for gravity loading, a separate analysis of each floor or roof with the far ends of columns
considered fixed is permitted.
8.11.2.6 If slab-beams are analyzed separately, it shall be permitted to calculate the moment
at a given support by assuming that the slab-beam is fixed at supports two or more panels
away, provided the slab continues beyond the assumed fixed supports.

8.10.4 Distribution of total factored static moment


8.10.4.1 In an interior span, Mo shall be distributed as follows:
0.65Mo to negative moment and
0.35Mo to positive moment.
8.10.4.2 In an end span, Mo shall be distributed in accordance with Table 8.10.4.2.
4.) 6Equivalent frame method
The equivalent frame method involves the representation of the three-dimensional slab
system by a series of two dimensional frames that are then analyzed for loads acting in the
plane of the frames. The negative and positive moments so determined at the critical design
sections of the frame are distributed to the slab sections in accordance with 8.10.5 (column
strips), 8.10.5.7 (beams), and 8.10.6 (middle strips). The equivalent frame method is based
on studies reported in Corley et al. (1961), Jirsa et al. (1963), and Corley and Jirsa (1970).
Section R13.7 of the 1989 Code contains a more detailed description of the equivalent frame
method.
