Waffle slab (or) Grid slab

 Edge Conditions – Three edges discontinuous and one long edge continuous

Data:-
Panel size = 10×12 m

Materials:-
Concrete M20 fck = 20N/mm2
Steel grade Fe415 fy = 415 N/mm2

Dimensions:-
Depth of topping slab = 75 mm
Depth of rib = 325 mm > 4 width
Width of rib = 200 mm > 65 mm
Spacing of ribs = 1100 mm < 1.5 m

Load calculations:-
Dead load of slab = ( 0.075×10×12×25 = 225 KN )
Beam ribs
In shorter direction (10 m )
0.2×0.325×10×25×12/1.1 = 177.20 KN
In longer distance (12 m )
0.2×0.325×12×25×10/1.1 = 177.20 KN
Floor finish = 0.5×10×12 = 60 KN
Partitions = 0.5×10×12 = 60 KN
Total dead load = ( 225+177.27×2+120+60 )
= 759.54 KN
Dead load per square meter of slab = 759.57 / 12×10
= 6.32
Total factored load wu = 1.5 *( DL + LL )
= 1.5 ( 6.32 + 2 )
 = 12.48 KN/m2

 Design of Ribs :-
For short span
(-) m (u,x) = αywlx2
= 0.071 × 12.48 × 102
= 88.6 KN-m

(+) m (u,x) = αxwlx2

= 0.053 × 12.48 × 102

= 66.14 KN-m

Spacing of ribs = 1.1 m

Bending moment per 1.1 m wide slab strip

(-) m (u,x) = 1.1 × 88.6 = 97.26 KN-m

(+)m (u,x) = 1.1 × 66.14 = 72.75 KN-m

 Steel required to Resist +ve moment

d = 370 mm
b = 1100 mm
fy = 415 MPA
fck = 20 MPA
Ast = 560.6 mm2
Provide 2 – 20 mm Bars at bottom to Resist Positive Moment

 Steel required to Resist -ve moment

(-) m (u,x) = 97.46 KN-m
Ast = 758.91 KN-m
Provde 3-20 mm Ø Bars at the top to Resist Negative Moment
 For longer span :-
Positive moment at the mid span
(+) m (U,y) = αxwlx2

= 0.043 × 12.42 × 102

= 53.66 KN-m

Bending moment per 1.1 m wide slab strip

(+) m (u,y) = 1.1 × 53.66

= 59 KN-m

 Steel required :-
d = 360 mm
b = 1100 mm
Ast = 465.26 mm2
Provide 3-16 mm Ø at the bottom to Resist Positive Bending Moment
Grid Slab Design :-
 Edge conditions – Two Short Edges Discontinuous
Total factored load = 12.48 KN-m2

 Design of ribs

Along shorter span :-

(-) m (u,x) = αnwlx2 = 0.052 × 12.48 × 102 = 64.89 KN-m

(+) m (u,x) = αnwlx2 = 0.040 × 0.040 × 12.48 ×102 = 49.92 KN-m

Steel to resist Positive moment per 1.1 m wide slab strip

(+) m (u,x) = 1.1 × 49.92 = 54.912 KN-m

b = 1100 mm

d = 370 mm

Ast = 381.08 mm2

Provide 2-16 mm Ø Bars at the Bottom to Resist the positive moment

Steel to Resist Negative moment per 1.1 m wide slab strip

(-) m (u,x) = 1.1 × 64.89 × = 71.37 KN-m

d = 370 mm

b = 1100 mm

Ast = 579.6 mm2

Provide 3-16 mm Ø at the top to Resist –ve BM

Along longer span :-

(-) m (u,y) = α1wlx2 = 0.035 × 12.48 × 102 = 43.68 KN-m

Reading moment per 1.1 m wide strip of slab

(-) m (u,y) = 1.1 × 43.68 = 48.041 KN-m

Now ,

d = 360 mm b = 1100 mm

Ast = 377.04

Provide 2-16 mm Ø at the Bottom to Resist Positive moment
