One-way Slabs

ENGR. ARBAB IMRAN KHAN (SUIT PESHAWAR) ARBAB.CIVIL@SUIT.EDU.PK 2

 One-way Slabs
Slabs are called “one-way” because bending is primarily in one
direction

One-way slabs are supported only on two parallel & opposite sides

Two-way slabs bend in two directions and are typically supported on

four sides

One-way bending may occur in slabs supported on four sides if L/S > 2

ENGR. ARBAB IMRAN KHAN (SUIT PESHAWAR) ARBAB.CIVIL@SUIT.EDU.PK 3

 One-way Slabs
Slab thickness is normally rounded up to one-quarter inch for slabs 6 in
or less in thickness

Slab thickness is normally rounded up to one-half inch for slabs thicker

than 6 in

ACI Code Section 7.12 requires shrinkage and temperature steel

transverse to span direction

One-way Slabs
One way slabs are designed as rectangular beams

Typically, a 12 in width is designed

Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be zero

Flexural reinforcement may not be spaced further apart that three

times the slab thickness, nor 18 in. See ACI Code Section 7.6.5

ENGR. ARBAB IMRAN KHAN (SUIT PESHAWAR) ARBAB.CIVIL@SUIT.EDU.PK 5

One-way Slabs
According to ACI Section 7.12.2.2, shrinkage and
temperature may not be spaced more than five times
the slab thickness nor 18 in.

According to ACI Section 7.12.2.2, when Grade 60

steel or WWF is used, the area of shrinkage and
temperature may not be less than 0.0018bh

One-way Slabs
If resistance to shrinkage or temperature is present, it may
be necessary to provide more than ACI minimal steel

See text table A.6 (provided on next slide) for selecting bars
for one way slabs

Example 1 (One-way Slab)
Design the one-way slab shown in the figure. The
span length is 10 ft and use a concrete strength of
4,000 psi and Grade 60 reinforcement. The live load
to be supported is 200 psf.

(b) Select the steel

Ρ= 0.00393 (text Appendix Table A.13) > Ρ min = 0.0033

As = (0.00393)(12in)(5in) = 0.236 in2/ft

(c) Shrinkage and temperature steel

As = 0.0018bh = (0.0018)(12in)(6in) = 0.1296 in2/ft

Use #3 @ 10 c/c; As = 0.13 in2/ft

Maximum spacing => 18 in (ACI Section 7.12.2.2)

If #4 bars are used as T & S steel

As = 0.0018bh
0.20 = 0.0018(s)(6)
S= 0.2/(0.0018)(6) = 18.51 in, use #4@18in c/c
