    This document provides an introduction to flat slab reinforced concrete design. Some key points: 1) A flat slab is a reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete columns without the use of beams. Flat slabs simplify formwork and construction. 2) Advantages of flat slabs include simplified construction, flexibility in room layout, and savings in building height and construction time. 3) Design of flat slabs involves dividing the slab into column strips and middle strips and determining the moment distribution between these regions using methods like the simplified method or finite element analysis. Punching shear must also be considered.

    LECTURE 1
    FLAT SLAB

    4th civil engineering


    DR EBTIHAJ ABUELGASIM
    INTRODUCTION
    What is a flat slab?•
    • a reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete
    columns without the use of beams
    FLAT SLABS
    FLAT SLABS
    INTRODUCTION
    INTRODUCTION
    • Uses of column heads :
    •increase shear strength of slab
    •reduce the moment in the slab by reducing the clear or
    effective span
    INTRODUCTION
    • Uses of drop panels :
    • increase shear strength of slab•
    • increase negative moment capacity of slab•
    • stiffen the slab and hence reduce deflection
    ADVANTAGES OF FLAT SLAB
    1- simplified form work and reduced story hieghts make
    it more economical
    2- windows can extend up to under side of the slab and
    there is no beams to obstruct the light and the
    circulation of air
    3- the absence of sharp corners gives grater fire
    resistance

    Deflection requirement will generally govern slab


    thicknesses which should not be less than 125mm
    FLEXIBILITY IN ROOM LAYOUT
    • lows Architect to introduce partition walls anywhere
    required
    • allows owner to change the size of room layout
    • allows choice of omitting false ceiling and finish soffit of
    slab with skim coating
    Saving in Building Height
    • Lower storey height will reduce building weight due to lower
    partitions and cladding to façade
    • •approx. saves 10% in vertical members
    • •reduce foundation load
    Shorter Construction Time
    flat plate design will
    facilitate the use of big
    table formwork to
    increase productivity
    PRE-FABRICATED WELDED MESH

    prefabricated in
    standard sizes

    minimized
    installation time

    better quality
    control
     Interior panel of flat slab
    should be divided as shown in
    figures below in to
    1- column strips
    2- middle strip
     The drop panels should be
    ignored if their smaller
    dimension is less than one
    third(Lx/3) of the smaller
    panel dimension Lx.
    (Drop length <Lx/3)

     If a panel is not square strip


    width in both directions are
    based in Lx
    Flat Slab Moment Distribution
    Methods Of Design
    • finite element analysis
    • simplified method
    • equivalent frame method
    Simplified Method
    • Table 3.19 may be used provided
    •Live load > 1.25 Dead load
    •Live load (excluding partitions) > 5KN/m2
    •there are at least 3 rows of panels of approximately equal
    span in direction considered
    •lateral stability is independent of slab column connections
    Simplified Method
    • Table 3.19: BM and SF coefficients for flat slab or 3 or more equal spans

    • * the design moments in the edge panel may have to be adjusted according to 3.7.4.3
    • F is the total design ultimate load on the strip of slab between adjacent columns
    considered(1.4gk + 1.6 qk)
    • L is the effective span
    Division of Panels
    • The panels are divided into ‘column strips’ and middle strips’ in
    both direction.
    (a)Slab Without Drops
    (b)Slab With Drops •
    Moment Division

    • Note : For slab with drops where the width of the middle strip exceeds L/2,
    the distribution of moment in the middle strip should be increased in
    proportion to its increased width and the moment resisted by the column
    strip should be adjusted accordingly.
