TWO WAY EDGE-SUPPORTED SLAB DESIGN (ACI COEFFICIENT METHOD)

S1(12'x14') c/c distances

DESIGN PARAMETERS
c/c Shorter Span = 12 ft
c/c Longer Span = 14 ft
Average Beam width (shorter span) = 9 in
Average Beam width (longer span) = 9 in
Live Load = 0 psf
Finishing weight = 0 psf
Other weight = 0 psf
Concrete design strength (f'c ) = 2500 psi
Steel yield strength (fy) = 50000 psi

SOLUTION AND DESIGN PROCEDURE

(1) Estimation of slab thickness
La (c/c) = 12 ft
Lb (c/c) = 14 ft
La,cl =La (clear) = 11.25 ft
Lb,cl =Lb (clear) = 13.25 ft

h (min) = clear perimeter/180 = 3.26667 in

Take h = 4 in

(2) Load estimation

Dead Load (DL)
Slab weight = 50 psf
wDL = 50 psf

(3) To find moments for both directions

m = La/Lb = 0.857

Middle strip moments

Negative moment at continuous end
 Case 9
Ca (from table) = 0.071429
Ma (-) = CawuL2a,cl = 9.04023 lb-ft
Cb (from table) = 0.02157
Mb (-) = CbwuL2b,cl = 3.78688 lb-ft

Positive moment at span

Ca (from table) (DL) = 0.027714
Ma (+)(DL) = Cawd L2a,cl = 3.50755 lb-ft

Cb (from table) (DL) = 0.013290

Mb (+)(DL) = Cbwd L2b,cl = 2.33323 lb-ft

Negative moment at discontinuous end

(1/3 of mid span(+) moment)
Ma (-)(discont: ) = Ma (+)(total)/3 = 1.16918 lb-ft
Mb (-)(discont: ) = Mb (+)(total)/3 = 0.77774 lb-ft
