CHAPTER EIGHT DESIGN OF ONE-WAY SLABS 1 8 CHAPTER 8: DESIGN OF ONE-WAY SLABS 8.1 Itrodctio A slab is strctral elemet whose thickess is small compared to its ow legth ad width. Slabs are sally sed i floor ad roof costrctio. Accordig to the way loads are trasferred to spportig beams ad colms, slabs are classified ito two types; oe-way ad two-way. Oe-way slabs: Whe the ratio of the loger to the shorter side (L/ S) of the slab is at least eqal to.0, it is called oe-way slab, show i Figre 8.1.a. Uder the actio of loads, it is deflected i the short directio oly, i a cylidrical form. Therefore, mai reiforcemet is placed i the shorter directio, while the loger directio is provided with shrikage reiforcemet to limit crackig, as show i Figre 8.1.b. Whe the slab is spported o two sides oly, the load will be trasferred to these sides regardless of its loger spa to shorter spa ratio, ad it will be classified as oe-way slab.

The floor loads o beams spportig the slab i the shorter directio may be assmed iformly distribted throghot their spas.
CHAPTER EIGHT DESIGN OF ONE-WAY SLABS 7 8..1.11 Approximate Strctral Aalysis ACI Code 8.3.3 permits the se of the followig approximate momets ad shears for desig of cotios beams ad oe-way slabs, provided: There are two or more spas. Spas are approximately eqal, with the larger of two adjacet spas ot greater tha the shorter by more tha 0 percet. Ufactored live load, L does ot exceed three times factored dead load, D. Loads are iformly distribted. Members are prismatic (similar momet of iertia alog their legths). For calclatig egative momets, l is take as the average of the adjacet clear spa legths. The ACI Code gives the momets at mid spas ad at faces of spports, as follows. 1. Positive Momet: a. Ed Spas: Whe discotios ed restraied, M = w l / 11 Whe discotios ed is itegral with spport, M = w l / 14 where l is the correspodig clear spa legth b. Iterior Spas: M = w l / 16. Negative Momet: a. Negative momet at exterior face of first iterior spport: Two spas, M = w l / 9 More tha two spas, M = w l / 10 where l is the average of adjacet clear spa legths. b. Negative momet at other faces of iterior spports: M = w l / 11 c. Negative momet at iterior face of exterior spport: Spport is edge beam, M = w l / 4 Spport is a colm, M = w l / 16

Oe-Way Ribbed Slabs Sice resistace of cocrete i tesio is too small compared with that i compressio, cocrete i the tesio zoe may be gathered i reglarly spaced ribs cast moolithically with toppig slab o top of these ribs. Hollow blocks made of lightweight cocrete or other materials are arraged betwee the ribs or the voids betwee ribs are left ot withot ay fillig material. The se of these blocks makes it possible to have smooth ceilig which is ofte reqired for architectral or hygieic cosideratios ad have good sod ad temperatre islatig properties besides redcig the dead load of the slab greatly. Ribbed slab floors are most ecoomical for bildigs sch as hospitals, schools, hotels, ad apartmet costrctio where loads are somewhat small ad the spas are relatively large.
CHAPTER EIGHT DESIGN OF ONE-WAY SLABS 11 There are two mai types of ribbed floors (a) hollow block floors ad (b) molded floors as show i Figre 8.5. Each type of floor cosists of mber of reiforced cocrete ribs spaig i the short directios spportig a thi toppig slab above. The hollow block floor is most sitable for small irreglarly shaped floors as the hollow blocks ca be easily fitted ito the irreglar shapes. O the other had, for large symmetrically spported floors, the molded type of floor is most sitable ad ecoomical. Steel or fiberglass molds ca be sed for temporary formwork. Ribbed slabs ca be sed i oe-way ad two-way edge spported slabs. Either drop or hidde beams ca be sed to spport these slabs depedig o the spa. If the ribs are provided i oe directio oly, the slab is classified as beig oe-way, regardless of the ratio of loger to shorter pael dimesios. (a) (b) Figre 8.5: (a) Hollow block floor; (b) molded floor 8...1 Key Compoets The Figre 8.6: Key compoets ribbed slab cosists of the followig key compoets, show i Figre 8.6: a. Toppig slab: Accordig to ACI Code 8.13.6.1, toppig slab thickess is ot to be less tha 1/1 the clear distace betwee ribs, or less tha 5.0 cm. The toppig slab is desiged as a cotios beam spported by the ribs. De to the large mber of spportig ribs, the maximm
CHAPTER EIGHT DESIGN OF ONE-WAY SLABS 1 bedig momet is take as w l c / 1 where w is the factored load resisted by the toppig slab ad l c is the clear distace betwee ribs. The toppig slab thickess t is evalated by coservatively cosiderig it made of plai cocrete ad sbjected to the maximm momet give above. The modls of rptre f r is give by f r ( t / ) M = f c = or 3 Φ b () t / 1 t = 3 M Φ b f c ( 8.1 ) where t = toppig slab thickess M = factored bedig momet Φ = stregth redctio factor for flexre b = web width Shrikage reiforcemet is provided i the toppig slab i both directios i a mesh form. b. Reglarly spaced ribs: Miimm dimesios: Accordig to ACI Code 8.13., ribs are ot to be less tha 10 cm i width, ad a depth of ot more tha 3.5 times the miimm web width. Clear spacig betwee ribs is ot to exceed 75.0 cm as specified by ACI Code 8.13.3. Loads: The load o ribs cosists of dead ad live loads. The dead load icldes ow weight of the slab, weight of the srface fiish, ad eqivalet partitio load. The live load is depedat o the iteded se of the bildig. Directio: I oe-way ribbed slabs ribs may be arraged i ay of the two pricipal directios. Two optios are possible; the first is by providig ribs i the shorter directio as show i Figre 8.7.a, which leads to smaller amots of reiforcemet i the ribs, while large
CHAPTER EIGHT DESIGN OF ONE-WAY SLABS 13 amots of reiforcemet are reqired i the spportig beams, associated with large deflectios. The secod optio is by providig ribs i the loger directio as show i Figre 8.7.b, which leads to larger amot of reiforcemet i the ribs, while smaller amots of reiforcemet are reqired i the spportig beams associated with smaller deflectios compared to the first optio. (a) (b) Figre 8.7: Arragemet of ribs: (a) ribs are arraged i the shorter directio; (b) ribs are arraged i the loger directio
CHAPTER EIGHT DESIGN OF ONE-WAY SLABS 14 The desiger has to make p his mid regardig the optio he prefers. Some desigers opt to r the ribs i a directio that leads to smaller momets ad shears i the spportig beams which meas mch more reiforcemet i the ribs. Other desigers opt to r the ribs i the shorter directio which leads to mch more reiforcemet i the spportig beams. The later optio leads to more ecoomical desig. Shear stregth: Accordig to ACI Code 8.13.8, shear stregth provided by rib cocrete V c may be take 10 % greater tha those for beams. It is permitted to icrease shear stregth sig shear reiforcemet or by wideig the eds of ribs. Althogh shear reiforcemet is ot ofte reqired, it is recommeded to se stirrps per meter r, Flexral stregth: 4 φ 6 mm Ribs are desiged as rectaglar beams i the regios of egative momet at the spports ad as T-shaped beams i the regios of positive momets betwee the spports. Effective flage width b e is take as half the distace betwee ribs, ceter-to-ceter. c. Hollow blocks: Hollow blocks are made of lightweight cocrete or other lightweight materials. They are commercially available i stadard sizes ad shapes. The most commo cocrete hollow block sizes are 40 5 cm i pla ad heights of 14, 17, 0, ad 4 cm. 8... Miimm Thickess To cotrol deflectio, ACI Code 9.5..1 specifies miimm thickess vales for oe-way ribbed slabs, show i Table 8.3. These vales are applicable for ormal loadig coditios ad for slabs ot spportig or attached to partitios or other costrctio likely to be damaged by large deflectios.
