SOLID SLABS
• Solid slabs are 2-dimensional structural elements, used to provide
flat surfaces(floors and ceilings) in buildings.
• They are generally seen in the form of any of the following floor
systems:
o Beam-supported slab system - in framed structures
o Wall-supported slab system - in load bearing structures
• Broadly, slabs are classified into two:
o One way slabs
o Two way slabs

ONE-WAY SLAB
These have either one of the following
definitions:
• Slabs which are supported only on two
opposite sides
• Slabs which are supported on all four
sides and its length is atleast greater than
L
twice the width, i.e., >2
B
• Flexural behavior in the shorter span is
more important

TWO-WAY SLABS
• Slabs which are supported on all four
sides and its length is comparable to the
L
width, i.e., < 2
B

DESIGN OF ONE-WAY SLABS
• Slabs under flexure behave in the same way as
beams. A slab of uniform thickness subject to a
bending moment uniformly distributed over its
width may be treated as a wide shallow beam
for the purpose of analysis and design.

• For convenience, computations are generally


based on a typical one-metre wide strip of the
slab along the shorter span is considered as
a beam, i.e., consider slab as a beam of width
b = 1000 mm.

Reinforced concrete slabs are generally under-reinforced and singly reinforced.
Reinforcements provided along the shorter
span is called MAIN BARS.
• If ‘s’ is the centre-to-centre spacing of
bars in mm, then the number of bars in
the 1m wide strip is given by 1000/s.
• Accordingly, denoting Ab as the cross-
sectional area of one bar (equal to MAIN
πφ2/4) and the required area of tensile BARS
steel in 1m wide strip (Ast), expressed in
units of mm2/m, it may concluded that
1000 Ast
=
S Ab
b A
=> Spacing s = 1000 Ast

DISTRIBUTION BARS are reinforcements provided
in the direction perpendicular to Main bars. These
are called Secondary Reinforcements or
Distribution Bars or Distributors or Temperature
Reinforcements.
These are provided because:
• The portion of the section above the neutral axis is under
compression and hence subjected to a lateral expansion due to the
Poisson effect. Similarly, the part below the NA is subjected to a
lateral contraction. This effect is resisted by the remainder of the
slab. These give rise to secondary moments in the transverse
direction.
• Also, secondary moments are also generated locally in slabs due
to concentrated loads.
• Further, shrinkage and temperature stresses developed in slabs
shall also be resisted by secondary reinforcements. Poisson

Thickness of slabs is very small compared to
beams, hence, proportioning of slabs depend
heavily on the effective span-to-depth ratio.
Hence it must be determined correctly. Page 38

From Fig.4,
fs = 240 N/mm2 (for Fe415)
fs = 290 N/mm2 (for Fe500)

Generally, %tension steel used in


slabs ~ 0.2 to 0.6%

Then, the corresponding value of


Modification factor for tension
reinforcements = 1.25 (approx.)

This value should be used while


determining effective depth from
span-to-depth ratio, during the
preliminary part of design.
