One-Way Slab Design Example
One-Way Slab Design Example
The above figure shows a one-way slab with beams and girders.
Beams are in X-direction (perpendicular to slab strip) and girders are in Y-direction
(parallel to slab strip).
Concrete:𝑓𝑓𝑐𝑐′ = 25 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 𝛾𝛾𝑐𝑐 = 24 𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘/𝑚𝑚3 Steel:𝑓𝑓𝑦𝑦 = 400 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀
All beams and girders have the same section 300 x 600 mm.
All columns have the same square section 300 x 300 mm.
Superimposed dead load SDL = 2.5 kN/𝑚𝑚2
Live load LL = 3.5 kN/𝑚𝑚2
All external beams and girders as well as the internal beam C support a wall with a
uniform weight of 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 = 14.4 kN/𝑚𝑚
The slab strip is modeled as a continuous beam with four equal spans
Calculate wu and Mu
Slab wt. = 24.00 × 0.16 = 3.84 kN/m2
wu = 1.2D + 1.6L = 1.2(2.50 + 3.84) + 1.6(3.5) = 13.21 kN/m
2 Flexural analysis
All conditions of ACI/SBC coefficient method are satisfied.
So Mu = Cm Wu (ln )2 Vu = Cv Wu ( l2n )
ln is the clear length Wu is the factored uniform load
ln = 3.8 − 0.3 0.3
2 − 2 = 3.5 m for all spans
For shear force, span positive moment and external negative moment, ln is the clear length of the
span
For internal negative moment, ln is the average of clear lengths of the adjacent spans.
Cm and Cv are the moment and shear coefficients given by ACI tables
The moment coefficients and values are given below:

As = ρ × b × d = 0.0026(1000)(134.0) = 343.7 mm2
Check min. steel
Asmin = 0.002 × b × h = 0.002(1000.0)(160.0) = 320.0 mm2 As > Asmin OK
S = 329.1 mm
Use φ12.0@320 mm
S = 353.4 mm
Use φ12.0@350 mm
Shear check
We must check that φVc ≥ Vu The ultimate shear force determined in the analysis is
Vu = Cv Wu ( l2n ) Where Cv is is either 1.0 or 1.15. We use the largest value
so Vu = 1.15 × 13.21 3.52 = 26.59 kN
The nominal concrete shear strength is given by:

√ √
Vc = 0.17 fc, × b × d = 0.17 25 × 1000 × 134 = 113.9 × 103 N =113.9 kN
φVc = 0.75 × 113.9 = 85.4 kN ≥ Vu Shear is OK
If φVc < Vu , we do not provide stirrups (as in beams). We increase slab thickness
Detailing
The design results must be presented in appropriate execution plans providing all information about
various reinforcements as well as the development lengths. ACI and SBC provisions must be used.

ltn = (Lt − bg ) = 8.15 − 0.30 = 7.85 m
Girder concentrated force = beam uniform load × Clear tributary width

Both spans have one end continuous: hmin = 18.5 = 7600
18.5 = 410 mm
The actual thickness of 600 mm is therefore OK.
We assume a bar diameter of 22 mm and a stirrup diameter of 10 mm, for the beams.

lines

At = 8.2 2 + 8.1
2 2 + 7.6
2 = 8.15 × 7.60 = 61.94 m2
The dead force includes area loading as well the self weight of the webs of all beams and girders in
the tributary area. It also includes
P possible wall
P loads.
PD = (SDL + γc hs )At + γc ( αi bwi hwi lti ) + αi wwall,i lti Live PL = LL × At
For beams / girders inside the tributary area, the total web self weight and total wall load is con-
sidered (αi = 1).
For beams / girders on the border of the tributary area, only half is considered (αi = 0.5).
lti is the member length inside the tributary area.
In order to avoid duplication of beam-girder joint weights, clear lengths must be used for the beams
and full lengths for the girders.
Column C2 supports Beam C over a clear distance of 8.15 - 0.30=7.85 m,
girder 2 over a distance of 7.6 m
and half of the beams B and D over a clear distance of 7.85 m.
Beam C supports also a wall over a distance of 8.15 m.
