Introduction
• An assembly of intersecting beams placed at
regular interval and interconnected to a slab of
nominal thickness is known as Grid floor or
Waffle floor.
• A grid slab is a type of building material that has
two directional reinforcement on the outside of the
material, giving it is the shape of the pockets on a
waffle
• Grid slab leads to reduction in dead load due to
voids and they are suitable for longer spans with
heavy loads.

Objectives
The present work is carried out by keeping following
objectives,
• To analyze the rectangular and square grid floor slabs by
using conventional methods such as Rankine-Grashoff
method and Timoshenko plate theory by varying span to
depth ratio (L/D ratio) and spacing of transverse beams.
• To compare the effects of span to depth ratio and spacing
of transverse beams on the values such as bending
moment, shear force, torsional moment and mid span
deflection using both the methods.
• To validate the results obtained from manual analysis
using Staad pro software.
