Slab Design
Design Data:

o The design is made on ACI moment coefficient Method

o The materials are used for slab design is shown below:

o The Moment Coefficient Method include for
the first time in 1963 ACI Code is applicable
𝑓𝑦 = 60000 𝑝𝑠𝑖 to two way slabs supported on four sides of
𝑓𝑐′ = 3000 𝑝𝑠𝑖 each slab panel by walls, steel beams
Unit weight of concrete = 150 pcf relatively deep, stiff, edge beams (h=3hf).
Unit weight of brick = 120 pcf o Although, not included in 1977 and later
versions of ACL code, its continued use is
o The loads are used for slab design given below permissible under the ACL 318-08 Code
provision (13.5.1).
Floor finish = 20 psf
Live Load = 40 psf
Partition Wall = Total load of the partition wall divided by floor area

o Floor to floor height = 10 ft

Calculation of Partition Wall:

Load from 5” wall = Length x width x height x Unit weight of brick

Uniformly distributed partition wall load over the slabs = 𝐹𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑟 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎

Special Reinforcement at Exterior Corner of Slab:

o Special reinforcement should be provided at exterior corners in both the bottom and top of
the slab, for a distance in each direction from the corner equal to one-fifth the longer span
of the corner panel.
o The reinforcement at the top of the slab should be parallel to the diagonal from the corner,
while that at the bottom should be perpendicular to the diagonal.
