    This document discusses two-way flat slab design methods, specifically the direct design method. It provides information on: 1) The behavior of slabs loaded to failure in flexure, including before cracking, after cracking but before yielding, and after yielding of reinforcement. 2) Key steps in the direct design method for flat slabs, including choosing slab type and thickness, design method, computing moments, determining moment distribution, designing reinforcement, and checking shear strength. 3) Definitions and design considerations for column strip moments, including wall and column position, structural layout optimization, deflection, crack control, punching shear, and construction loads.

    Two-Way Flat Slabs

    Direct Design Method


    Behavior of Slab Loaded To failure in flexure

    i. Before cracking, acts as an elastic plate ( stresses and strains can be


    predicted from an elastic analysis)

    ii. After cracking and before yielding (no longer isotropic, tests indicate that the
    elastic theory still predicts the moments adequately.)

    iii. Yielding of the reinforcement eventually starts in one or more


    regions of high moment (moments are redistributed from yielded regions to areas
    that are still elastic.)

    iv. Formation of plastic mechanism ( formation of flat compression arch)


    Moments in Slabs
    Flat slab Design Procedures
    • Direct design method
    • Equivalent frame method
    Direct Design Method: Step in Slab Design:

    • Choose the layout and type of slab to be used. The choice of type of
    slab is strongly affected by architectural or construction
    considerations.
    • Choose the slab thickness. Excessive deflection, shear
    • Choose the design method. DDM or EFM
    • Compute the negative and positive moments in the slab
    • Determine the distribution of the moments across the width of the
    slab.
    • If there are beams a portion of the moment should be assigned to
    the beams.
    • Reinforcement is designed for the moments
    • The shear strengths at the columns are checked.

    Design Considerations
    Design considerations
    • Wall and Column Position

    • Optimization of structural layout plan

    • Deflection check

    • Crack control

    • Punching shear

    • Lateral stability

    • Construction loads
    Design Methodology
    • The Finite Element Method

    • The Direct Design Method

    • The Equivalent Frame Method


    Equivalent Frame Analysis of slab systems for vertical
    loads

    • The slab is divided in to a series of equivalent frames. (the


    slab, any beams present and the columns below and above the slab)

    • Each floor can be considered separately with the far


    ends fixed. (Moment distribution can be used for frame analysis)
    Calculation of stiffness carryover and fixed end moments

    • It is necessary to calculate the flexural stiffness, CO factors and


    FEMs for each of the members in the equivalent frame.

    • For a Prismatic member:

    K  kEI / L
    • CO = 4 and FEM = wl2/12

     Variation of stiffness at slab-column joints, in cross-section at drop


    panels. (all members have stiffer section at each end)

     Several methods are available for the determination k, CO and FEM.


    Properties of slab Beams

    • May consist of a slab, slab and drop


    panel or a slab and a beam running
    parallel to the equivalent frame.

    – Variation in the moment of inertial


    along its length should be taken into
    account

    – The moment of inertial of the slab


    beams from the center of the column to
    the face of the column, bracket or
    capital shall be taken as the moment of
    inertial of the slab beam at the face of
    the column, bracket or capital divided
    by the quantity (1-c2/l2)2
    Properties of Columns

    – The moment of inertial of columns at any cross-section outside


    of the joints or column capitals may be based on the gross area
    of the concrete, allowing for variations in the actual moment of
    inertia due to changes in the column cross section.

    – The moment of inertial of columns shall be assumed to be


    infinite within the depth of the slab at a joint.
