PROBLEM SOLVING

PROBLEM NO. 1 (60 POINTS)

A cantilever one-way slab, 1.2-m long, supports a dead load of 6.0 kPa (including its own weight) and a live load of
4.80 kPa. The slab is made of normal-weight concrete. Use 10-mm reinforcing steel bars, fy = 275 MPa, f’c = 20.7
MPa and a concrete cover of 20 mm. (U = 1.2DL + 1.6LL)

Solve the following:

a) Factored loads per 1-m width in kN/m. (10 pts)

b) Minimum thickness of the slab in mm. (10 pts)
c) Effective depth ‘d’ in mm if the slab is 120 mm thick. (10 pts)
d) Ultimate Moment in kN-m. (10 pts)
e) Required flexural reinforcement steel ‘As’ in mm2. (10 pts)
f) Spacing of 10-mm reinforcing steel bars in mm if the slab is 120 mm thick. (10 pts)

(Student No: 20A-B-C-D-E-F)

NOTE: During the substitution of the equivalent digits of your student number, no value given should be equal to total zero (0).
If this occurs, report immediately the concern to your class president.
Example: Given = FE.B (unit), Student Number F,E and B are all ZERO

PROBLEM NO. 2 (30 POINTS)

The section of a solid one-way slab is shown in the figure. The concrete is a normal density concrete with a unit of
2400 kg/m3. The reinforcing steel used has a strength of fy = 276 MPa.

 a) Calculate the minimum thickness of slab B1 in mm. (10 pts)
b) Calculate the minimum thickness of slab B2 in mm. (10 pts)
c) Calculate the minimum thickness of slab B3 in mm. (10 pts)

(Student No: 20A-B-C-D-E-F)

NOTE: During the substitution of the equivalent digits of your student number, no value given should be equal to total zero (0).
If this occurs, report immediately the concern to your class president.
Example: Given = FE.B (unit), Student Number F,E and B are all ZERO

PROBLEM NO. 3 (10 POINTS)

A two-span continuous one-way slab with clear spans of 4.2 meters is supported on beams 300 mm wide. In addition
to its dead weight, the slab carries a live load of 2500 Pa. f’c = 21 MPa and fy = 275 MPa. Unit weight of concrete is
23.5 kN/m3. Determine the minimum depth of slab in mm if deflection is not to be computed.

NOTE: During the substitution of the equivalent digits of your student number, no value given should be equal to
total zero (0). If this occurs, report immediately the concern to your class president.
