Slabs
 Slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces.
A slab is a board, flat plate, usually horizontal.
 Slabs
may be supported by RC beam, masonry,
RC walls, structural steel members, columns,
ground etc.
Types of Slabs
a) One-way slab
b) Two-way slab
c) Flat Slab
d) Flat Plate Slab
e) Grid or Waffle or Rib Slab.
Types of Slabs
a) One-way slab
Types of Slabs
a) One-way slab
 Supported on two opposite sides.
 One-way load transfer path.
 Although slab is supported by beams in all sides,
if aspect ratio (Length/Width ratio) ˃ 2.0 then
most of the loads will be transferred by the
short direction.
 Main reinforcements will be provided in short
direction.
Types of Slabs
b) Two-way slab
Types of Slabs
b) Two-way slab
 Supported on all sides.
 Supported on beams or directly on columns.
 Two-way load transfer path.
 Aspect ratio (Length/Width ratio) ≈ 1.0
 When loaded, slabs bend into a dished surface
rather then a cylindrical one.
 Slabs must be reinforced in both direction.

Structural Action:
 Simply supported along its two opposite long
edges.
 Free
of any support along the two opposite short
edges.
 Bending of the slab is approximately cylindrical.
 Curvatures and bending moments are same in the
strips ‘s’ spanning in the short direction.

 One-way Slab Design
For the Purposes of Analysis and Design:
 A unit strip (1ft. or 1m) of slab is cut out.
 This strip is considered as rectangular beam
• Width = 1ft.=12 inch
• Depth= h
• Length= la
h
la

 The strip can be analyzed and designed by the W

method that were used for rectangular beams.

 One-way Slab Design
A reinforced concrete slab is built integrally with its supports and
consists of two equal spans, each with a clear span of 15 ft. The
service load is 100 psf, and 4000 psi concrete is specified for
use with a yield stress equal to 60,000 psi. Design the slab,
following the provisions of Working Stress Design (WSD)
Method.

 One-way Slab Design
Data Available:
Span Length, L = 15 ft.
Service Load = 100 psf.
f’c = 4,000 psi.
fy = 60,000 psi.

Helping Data:
Es = 29×106 psi
Ec = 57000√f’c = 57000×√4000 = 3.605×106 psi
fs = 0.40fy = 0.40×60,000 =24000 psi
fc = 0.45f’c = 0.45×4,000 =1800 psi
 One-way Slab Design
Step-01: Minimum Slab Thickness
h = l/28 = (15×12)/28 = 6.43 in. ≈ 6.50 in.

Step-02: Load Calculation

Self wt. = 6.5/12×150 = 81 psf.
Service Load = 100 psf.
Total w = 181 psf. = 0.181 kips

Step-03: Moment Calculation

At the interior support: -M = 1/9×wl2 = 1/9×0.181×152 = 4.53 ft-kips
 One-way Slab Design
Step-03: Moment Calculation continuous……
At midspan: : +M = 1/14×wl2 = 1/14×0.181×152 = 2.91 ft-kips
At the exterior support: -M = 1/24×wl2 = 1/24×0.181×152 = 1.70 ft-kips

Step-04: Check Depth

Effective Depth, n = Es/Ec = 29×106/3.605×106 = 7.95 ≈ 8.0
d= r = fs/fc = 24000/1800 = 13.33
= k = n/(n+r) = 8.0/(8.0+13.33) = 0.375
= 1.13 in. j = 1-k/3 = 0.875
