Flat Slab Analysis and Design

Introduction
Flat Slab Analysis and Design designs flat slab or waffle slab floors in accordance with ACI 318. The analysis and design follow the equivalent frame analysis method of the ACI code, which considers a one-bay wide strip of the floor system as a continuous frame. The strip may have up to 20 spans and may have cantilevers at the ends. No beams parallel to the span are permitted. Flat slabs may have drop panels at columns and columns may have capitals. Both the Ultimate Strength and Alternate (Working Stress) designs methods are available.

Solution Procedure:
The analysis follows the equivalent frame method of ACI 318-83 in which the structure is considered to be made up of frames one bay wide along the lines of the columns. This analysis is for one floor or roof at a time, including the effect of the columns in the stories above and below the slab being analyzed. Sidesway is neglected. The columns are considered fix at their remote ends. The width of the slab in a direction transverse to the direction of moments extends to lines across which the shear or load-transfer in the lateral direction is zero. This location is commonly taken as the lateral centerline of the panel on each side of the line of columns. The frame width may vary from one column to the next, in which case the variation is assumed to be linear. Variations in moment of inertia of slab and columns are considered. Equivalent column stiffness, accounting for the torsional flexibility of the slab-to-column connection is calculated in accordance with section 13.7 of the 1983 ACI code. It is important to realize that the program assumes that span and cantilever lengths are measured from the column centerlines. Thus, if your slab is actually flush with the exterior face of the columns, cantilevers equal to half the column thickness should be input. Similarly, when cantilevers are present, half the thickness of the exterior column can be added to the length.

Loading
Dead load due to self-weight of the slab with drop panels, if any, is calculated from input geometry and concrete density, and is automatically included in the loadings. If concrete has been designated as normal weight, a unit weight of 150 pounds per cubic foot is assumed. For each span, input loads include uniformly distributed dead and live area loads (e.g. pounds per square foot) and partial-length dead and live loads that are input as force per unit length along span. Partial length loads extend the full width in the transverse direction and can also be considered partial span area loads. For any span as many as 3 partial loads may be input. Refer to the diagram below:

Flat Slab Analysis and Design

Cantilevers also can have dead and live area loads. In addition, one dead and live partial span area load is permitted, as well as (dead and live) line loads at the cantilever tip. Cantilever tip loads are input as linear loads perpendicular to the span direction. Refer to the diagram below for details:

When required, concentrated/line loads can be input as partial loads extending over a very short distance. Automatic load patterning per ACI 13.7.6 is optional.

Flat Slab Analysis and Design

For each loading case considered, the moments at the joints of the equivalent frame are calculated using a modified form of the moment distribution. The resulting moments and shears at the joints are printed for your records.

Design Procedure
You may select either the strength (ultimate strength) design method following the provision of chapters 8 through 12 of ACI 318-83, or the alternate (working ) method outline in Appendix B of that code. The allowable nominal shear stress for two-way action is first calculated and printed out, taking into account the concrete type (normal or lightweight), concrete strength and the design method. It is assumed that no shearhead reinforcement in present. For each column, the maximum shear stress is computed and printed out, together with the design forces (vertical reaction and moments) being transferred through the critical section located at d/2 from the face of the support (column or capital). The effect of the moment transfer resulting in eccentric distribution of shear around the critical section is included in the total shear stress value. The component of stress due to average punching shear and the component due to eccentricity (in accordance with section 11.12 of ACI 318-83 code) are both printed out in addition to the total value. When pattern loadings are considered, the governing pattern is also printed. The shear stress is calculated on the assumption that the critical section is located within the area of the drop panel (if any) for a flat slab, or within the solid panel for a waffle slab. You must verify that this assumption is correct. You should note that in the direction perpendicular to the spans no account is taken of any moment transfer or the presence of any edges which would modify the critical shear periphery and calculated stresses. The slab is assumed to be centered over the columns, with sufficient width so that the critical shear is governed by section 11.11.1.2 of the ACI 318-83 code. The design negative moment is taken as the largest value computed at the critical section at the face of the support, in accordance with section 13.7.7 of the ACI 318-83 code. The design positive moment is taken as the largest positive value computed with the span. Distribution of moments between column strip and middle strip is made in accordance with section 13.6.4. Note: the program does check the reinforcement concentration in parenthesis (). The location of the inflection points are calculated for each loading case, and top bar lengths are determined with regard to the inflection point location farthest from the support (but not less than the minimum bar lengths of Fig. 13.4.8 of ACI 318-83). In some cases this procedure will result in top bars substantially longer than those obtained using the direct design method of section 13.6 of the ACI code. This may be expected because of the differences between the two design approaches (e.g. where pattern loadings are considered and live loads are large and/or columns are slender). The design moments for each strip, the corresponding required steel areas and governing load patterns are then printed out. If steel areas required for moment are less than minimum values according to sections 7.12 or 10.5 of the ACI code, the code minimum value is used and this fact is indicated on the output. For a flat slab the minimum steel is taken as 0.0018 (for fy = 60000 or over) or 0.0020 times the cross-sectional area of the concrete. For waffle slabs the same criteria is applied for top steel at the location of maximum negative moment. For bottom steel of waffle slabs the minimum reinforcement ratio is taken as 200/fy (based on stem width, in accordance with section 10.5.1 of the ACI code.

Material Quantities

Input Pallets
Flat Slab Analysis and Design represents a new direction in software technology. It utilizes Microsofts Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) technology, which is described in the following quote taken from Microsofts website: Windows Presentation Foundation is a powerful addition to the application developer or designer's toolbox. As the strategic presentation foundation for future releases of Windows, it provides a model which takes full advantage of the underlying graphical hardware and offers support for everything from standalone applications to Web browser-based applications to documents. In other words, WPF is the future of Windows. In fact, Windows Vista was built using WPF technology. If you have used Windows Vista, you will have undoubtedly noticed that it is has much higher quality graphics, improved ergonomics and is much more stable and secure than any previous versions of Windows. What does WPF mean to your Digital Canal Software? 1. WPF technology enabled us to replace traditional menus and toolbars with more ergonomic controls. Similar to Microsofts Office Ribbon, Digital Canals Input Pallets are specifically designed to guide you through the operation of the program as well as make all of the programs functionality readily available. WPF applications utilize very high fidelity graphics, which can fully utilize the capabilities of modern graphics cards. Programs not utilizing these technologies will look quite coarse and blurry in comparison. Integration of Microsofts DirectX technology. DirectX is a graphics programming language, similar to OpenGL, which is used to build very high quality graphic software. Most video games and many CAD applications are built with DirectX. Portability. WPF applications are very modular in nature; this will allow us to integrate programs in ways we never have before.
