ANALYSIS of 2-WAY SYSTEMS

Governing Equation

Analysis may be proceeded by Finite Element

Method or Finite Difference Method

Approximate Methods

• ACI Direct Design Method

• ACI Equivalent Frame Method
• Strip Method
• Yield Line Theory
• ACI Coefficients Method

ACI COEFFICIENTS METHOD

ACI Coefficients

Dead Load (Full fixity at interior supports)

Live Load (Full fixity at support where –ve M

is sought)
Conditions are similar for (–ve Moment)

10

ACI COEFFICIENTS

Dead Load (+ve Moment)

Live Load (+ve Moment)

(Conditions are Different)

11

ACI COEFFICIENTS
There is one set for coefficients for negative
moments (Dead or Live) at supports.
(derived with full fixity at continuous
supports)
There are two different sets of positive
moments coefficients separately for Dead
and Live Loads (full fixity for dead load
and partial fixity for live loads)

Maximum Spacing
Maximum spacing should not exceed:

• 2 x thickness of slab at critical sections

• 5 x thickness of slab elsewhere
• 18” (450 mm)

Edge Strip
Edge Strip Moment=2/3 Mmax

Edge Strip Steel=2/3 Middle Strip Steel

s (edge) =1.5 s (middle)

But not in violation of smax

16

Corner Steel
At exterior corners unbalanced twisting
moment is resulted. Therefore cracks
occur at bottom and top as follows:
