ASSIGNMENT 1: TWO-WAY FLOOR SLABS

Calculate the reinforcement of an equivalent frame from the floor slab of a building.
The floor slab is a two-way waffle one and has the plan view as represented in
the attached CAD file.

The actions to take into account are the slab self-weight, which consists of a
waffle one with lost lightening blocks made of mortar, pavement with a weight
of 1.0 kN/m2, and a live load depending on the type of use of the structure that
will be assigned to each student: either a housing in a residential area (the
corresponding value will be increased 1kN/m2 to account for the weight of
partitions) or commercial store for public use. The loads will be determinate by the
SE-AE document of the CTE.

The self-weight of the waffle slab can be estimated according to Appendix C of the
SE-AE document of the CTE.

The width of the ribs is 12 cm as a consequence of the strictest fire


requirements and the dimensions of the lightening locks are 70x70 cm. Therefore,
inter-axis distance between ribs is of 82 cm.

The exposition class is IIa and the concrete type is HA30. The steel reinforcement is
B500S.

The slab must be designed according to the prescriptions of the design code for
both Service Limit States (SLS) and Ultimate Limit States (ULS).

Taking into account the characteristics of the structure and without considering the
slab holes, it is possible to apply the direct method to obtain the moments and
forces in the slab.

Each student will develop the design of one of the equivalent frames defined by
a determined alignment of pillars (numbered in the plan view provided in the
CAD file). In addition to the design report you have to fill the given excel sheet with
your results. The assigned frame, pillar and live load are indicated in an additional
file.

QUESTIONS:
1. Check if the equivalent frame method can be applied.
2. Define the appropriate depth of the slab so that the deflections do not
need to be checked, taking into account that the slabs are weakly
reinforced elements.
3. Define the geometry and calculate the design loads of the equivalent frame.
4. Check if the direct method can be applied to your equivalent frame.
5. Determine the design moment laws of the equivalent frame by using the direct
method,
disregarding the slab holes.
6. Calculate the reinforcement of the central strip or support strip assigned to you.
7. Draw the reinforcement in elevation view. Define the necessary
reinforcement for positive and negative bending, the shear
reinforcement if necessary and the mesh reinforcement in the
compression layer.
8. Check the resistance of the slab to punching over the pillar assigned to
you and, if necessary, compute the required punching reinforcement. In
order to estimate the load applied on each pillar it will be acceptable to
apply a simple geometric distribution. It can be assumed that in the solid
slab, the ratio of area of distributed longitudinal negative reinforcement to
gross concrete area perpendicular to that reinforcement is ρl
= 0.0045.
