DESIGN
Analysis and Design of Slab
Types of Slab
Intermediate beams are
provided.

Four sides of beam supporting

the slab so that two-way action
is achieved.

Slab supported on two opposite

sides only, in which case the If the ratio of length to width of
structural action of the slab is one slab panel is large than
essentially one-way, the loads about 2, most of the loads is
carried by the slab in the carried in the short direction
direction perpendicular to the to the supporting beams and
supporting beam one-way action is obtained
even though supports are
provided on all sides
Types of Slab

Concrete slab carried directly by

column without the use of beam
and girders.
Types of Slab

Beamless but incorporates a

thickened slab region in the
vicinity of column and often
employed flared column tops.
Types of Slab
Design of One-way Slab

Deflected shape of uniformly Rectangular slab, simply

loaded one-way slab: supported along its two
opposite long edges and free of
any support along short edges.

If uniformly distributed load is

applied to the surface, the
deflected will be as shown in
solid lines.
Curvatures, and consequently
bending moments, are the
same in all strips s.
No curvatures, thus no bending
moments in the long strip l.
Design of One-way Slab
How to Design/Analysis a one-
way slab?
Unit strip basis for
flexural design
• consider a unit strip of the slab cut out at
right angle to the supporting beam
• may be considered as a rectangular beam of
unit width, with a depth h equal to the
thickness of the slab and a span la equal to
the distance between the supported edges
• The load per unit area of the
slab becomes the load per unit
length of the slab strip.
• Since all of the load on the slab
must be transmitted to the two
sporting beams, it follows that
all of the reinforcement should
be placed at the right angles to
these beams
• Analyse/design the strip using
methods used for rectangular
beam
• Provide bars along the long
direction considering control
shrinkage and temperature
cracking.
Design of One-way Slab
Example:
Design a one-way slab with dimension 2m x 6m to support DL = 1.4 Kpa
(excluding its own weigth) and LL = 12 Kpa using fc’ = 28MPa, fy = 414 MPa

2000
ωDL= 1.4 kpa
ωLL= 1.9 kpa SLAB
