ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF SOLID SLAB

 Slabs are structural flat plates used to provide useful horizontal

surface mainly for roofs and floors of buildings and other
structures.
 Based on load transferring mechanisms there are two types of slabs.
These are one way and two way slabs.
 In our case most of the slabs are two way and need
to be analyzed based on the principle of two way
actions
General procedure to design two way slab system are
described below :-

 Depth for deflection

 Load determination
 Analysis &
 Load transfer to beam
 DEPTH FOR DEFLECTION

 The minimum depth of a slab for deflection

requirement is computed by:
d ≥ (0.4+0.6fyk/400)le/βa
Where: le: effective length of the slab
fyk: characteristic tensile strength of reinforcement

LOAD DETERMINATITION

Dead and live loads are calculated depending on the

service of the slabs and self weight.
 Partition loads are distributed over the slab if they are
not large enough to cause localized effects.
 The design loads are factored according to the
following formula that is given in EBCS code.
Pd =1.3DL+1.6LL where:
Pd=design load
DL=total dead load on slab
LL=Live load
 ANALYSIS
The analysis of slab moments of two way slabs is
accomplished by analyzing individual panel’s bending
moments and shear forces. It accomplished by the
formula:-
Mi =αipdLx2
Where:Mi=the design moment per unit width at the
point of reference
αi= the coefficient given in table A-1 in
EBCS-2,1995.
Moment analysis
By using coefficient method

M=αi*Pd*Lx2

ALONG X-DIRECTION ALONG Y-DIRECTION

Mxs=αxsi*Pd*Lx2 Mys=αi*Pd*Lx2
Mxf=αxfi*Pd*Lx2 Myf=αi*Pd*Lx2
LOAD TRANSFER TO BEAM

 Finally the design uniform loads are transferred to beam as

shear.
 The shear is calculated using the formulas from EBCS-2,
1995 as given below.
Vx=βVX*Pd*Lx
Vy=βVy*Pd*Ly
Where; βVX & βVy are load transfer coefficients given in
EBCS-2, 1995 of table-3
