Design of Slabs
Reinforced concrete slabs are used in floors, roofs and
walls of buildings and as the decks of bridges.

The floor system of a structure can take many, forms such
in situ solid slabs, ribbed slabs or precast units.
Slabs may span in one direction or in two directions and
they may be supported on monolithic concrete beams,
steel beams, walls or directly by the structure's columns.
One way slab is a slab which is supported by on the two opposite
sides to carry the load along the direction.

Two way slab is supported by beams on all the four sides and the
loads are carried by the support along both direction.
Ly/Lx≤ 2 … … … 𝑡𝑤𝑜 𝑤𝑎𝑦 𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑏

Design of Slabs
Concrete slabs behave primarily as flexural
members and the design is similar to that for
beams, although in general it is somewhat simpler
because
1. the breadth of the slab is already fixed and a unit
breadth of 1m is used in the calculations
2. the shear stresses are usually low in a slab except
when there are heavy concentrated loads, and
3. compression reinforcement is seldom required.
In this unit you will see:
One way solid slab on ULS method
ribbed slabs on ULS method
Two way solid slab

One way solid slab
The slabs are designed as if they consist of a series of
beams of 1m breadth.
The main steel is in the direction of the span and secondary
or distribution steel is required in the transverse direction.
The calculations for bending reinforcement follow a similar
procedure to that used in beam design.

The effective span of the slab is taken as the lesser of: (a)
the center to center distance of the bearings. or (b) the
clear distance between supports plus the effective depth of
the slab.

Simplification of load arrangements
In principle a slab should be designed to withstand the most
unfavorable arrangements of design loads;
The ratio of the characteristic imposed load to the characteristic
dead load does not exceed 1.25;
The loads should be substantially uniformly distributed over three
or more spans;
The characteristic imposed load does not exceed 5 kN/m2
excluding partitions.

Where analysis is carried out for the single load case of all spans
loaded, the resulting support moments except those at the supports
of cantilevers should be reduced by 20 %, with a consequential
increase in the span moments.

Example design the four span slab shown in figure
supports a live load of 3.0 kN/m2 , plus floor finishes and a
ceiling load of 1.0 kN/m2. The characteristic material
strengths are fck = 25Mpa and fyk = 500Mpa.

One way ribbed slab
One-way ribbed slab is a floor or roof system supported by
closely spaced small beams called ribs or joists framing into
girders, which in turn frame into the supporting columns.
the ribbed floor is formed using temporary or permanent
shuttering while the hollow block floor is generally
constructed with blocks made of clay tile with concrete
containing light weight aggregate.
Ribbed floor slabs are economical for buildings such as:-
apartment houses, hotels and hospitals where live loads are
fairly small and the spans are comparatively long.
Ribbed floors are not suitable for heavy construction, such
as in warehouses, garage and heavy manufacturing
buildings.

Near to the supports the hollow blocks are stopped off and
the slab is made solid
This is done to achieve a greater shear strength, and if the
slab is supported by monolithic with the solid section acts as
the flange of T section.

Two way beam supported solid slab
A slab supported its on all four of its sides.
The amount of bending in each direction will depend on
the ratio of two spans and condition of restraint at each
support.
the slab must be designed to take a proportionate
share of the load in each direction.
Let’s consider a simply supported two way slab shown
below, with Lx and Ly, shorter and longer span,
respectively.
Let it be subjected to uniform load Pd KN/m2
Evidently, part of the load is carried by one set of strips
and transmitted to one pair of edge supports and the
remainder by the other. 24

29
Division of panel into strips:
The maximum BM computed apply only to the middle
strips & reinforcement can be detailed in such a way
that at least about 50% of the positive bars is extended
into the supports.
The negative bars may be terminated at a distance of
L/4 to L/3 from the respective centerline of the support.
Reinforcement in an edge strip parallel to edge need
not be less than As min.
30
Moment at Continuous Supports of Slabs
A. determine support and span moments for all
panels.
External edges ⇒ simply supported
continuous edges ⇒ fully fixed
B. If the slab is connected with an external wall or if
any of its edges is partly fixed and partly simply
supported, the following procedure may be
adopted:
The ratio of the actual support moment to the
bending moment of fully fixed slab, or the ratio of the
width of fixed part to the width of the simply
supported part of the edge is evaluated.
The bending moments of the slab are then computed
by interpolating between different support conditions.
31
Moment at Continuous Supports of Slabs
For each support over which the slab is continuous,
generally, there will be two different support moments. The
difference may be distributed between the panels on either
side of the support to equalize their moments, as in the
moment distribution method for frames.
If the differences between initial support moments are less
than 20 percent of the larger moment, and the live load
does not exceed 2.5 times the permanent load for internal
structure or 0.8 times the dead load for external structures.
Then, use either:
Initial larger moment directly, or
the average initial moment at the support.
32
Moment at Continuous Supports of Slabs
If the above requirement is not satisfied
The unbalanced moment is distributed using the
moment distribution method. The relative
stiffness of each panel shall be taken proportional
to its gross moment of inertia divided by the
smaller span.
If the support moment is decreased, the span
moments mxf and myf are then increased to allow
for the changes of support moments. This increase
is calculated as being equal to the change of the
support moment multiplied by the factors given in
Table A-2. If a support moment is increased, no
adjustment shall be made to the span moments.
