HILLERBORG STRIP METHOD

Introduction

This method based on the Lower Bound Theorem of Plasticity. The basic idea of the method is to find a distribution of moments, which fulfil the equilibrium equations and designing the slab for these moments.

Simply Supported Rectangular Slab

Rectangular Slab with a Free Edge

Strong Bands

The strong bands act as beams and more heavily reinforced compared to the rest of the slab. It is often convenient to increase the thickness in order to accommodate steel reinforcement. Distributed load on the rest slab can be distributed between the edge supports and strong bands.

FLAT SLAB (CL 3.7)

Introduction
Defined as a slab

with or without drops, supported generally without beams by columns with or without column heads.

The slab is thicker than that required in T-beam floor slab construction but the omission of beams gives a larger clear height and simplification in construction and formwork.

l. Ly/Lx < 2. (cl 3.7.1.2) 2. Design moments may be obtained by (a) equivalent frame method (b) simplified method (cl3.7.2.7) (c) finite element analysis 3. The panel thickness is generally controlled by deflection. The slab thickness must be>125 mm. (cl 3.7.1.6) 4. Drop panels only influence the distribution of moments if the smaller dimension of the drop 1/3Lx. However, smaller drops provide resistance to punching shear. (cl 3.7.1.5)

General Design Requirement (cl 3.7.1)5. cont The effective dimension of the column head, Lh is the lesser of:
(a) the actual dimension lha or (b) lhmax = lc + 2(dh - 40) (cl 3.7.1.3)

where lc = column dimension measured in the same direction as L; For a flared head lha is measured 40 mm below the slab or drop.

6. The effective diameter of a column or column head is the diameter of a circle whose area equals the cross-sectional area of the column or, if column heads are used, the area of the column head based on the effective dimensions as defined in 3.7.1.3. In no case should hc > Lx/4. (cl 3.7.1.4)

The code states that normally it is sufficient to consider only the single load case of maximum design load, (1.4gk + 1.6qk) on all spans. There are at least three rows of panels of approximately equal span in the direction being considered; Moments at supports taken from table 3.12 may be reduced by O.15Fhc. The limitation of 3.7.2.6 need not be checked.

Allowance has been made to the coefficients of table 3.12 for 20 % redistribution in accordance with 3.5.2.3.
