    Loads and load paths on slabs


    2
    Slabs
    • Flat useable surface with uniformly distributed loads.
    • Small concentrated loads - transfer to supports by bending action of the
    slab.
    • Large concentrated loads – rather use beams.
    • Supported by beams which are supported by columns, or directly
    supported by columns.
    • Support conditions dictate the structural behaviour of the floor.
    • Floors are divided into two main categories:
    • Edge supported floors where stiff beams / walls provide
    support along edges.
    • Floors supported by columns.

    3
    Types of slabs – edge supports
    One-way spanning
    • Load carried by the floor to beams on opposite sides of the floor.
    • For large spans: ribbed (trough) slab.

    4
    Types of slabs – edge supports
    Two-way spanning
    • Load is transferred to beams in two perpendicular directions.
    • For large spans: waffle slab.

    5
    Types of slabs – column supports
    Flat slabs
    • Supported directly on columns.
    • Slab-column connection thickened (drop panel / column head).
    • Ribbed slab with coffers omitted around column.

    Load path in a one-way spanning slab
    • Load is transferred to the beams through flexure (bending) in the slab.
    • Consider a strip of slab as a beam: reaction can be calculated = load on beam.
    • In turn, beam transfers load to columns.
    • The slab transmits the load in one direction.
    • Reaction to an internal beam is greater than to an edge/outer beam.

    One and two-way spanning slabs
    One-way spanning slabs: load on supporting beams
    • Consider the shear force diagram.
    • Position of zero shear force.
    • Resultant of load acting on the slab area between the position of zero
    shear and the beam = load carried by the beam.

    Two-way spanning slab: load on supporting beams


    • Lines drawn to divide each corner equally (45°).
    • Varying distributed load supported by beams.
    • One plan dim. > other: most of the load is transferred to the longer
    beams and the slab tends to span primarily in the short direction.
