Tutorial Solution Module 4 - Two-way slab supported on 4 sides

Question 1

Ly/Lx = 6/5 = 1.2 Ly is always the LARGER span

Fd = 1.2G + 1.5Q
= 1.2 x 3.8 + 1.5 x 3.5 = 9.8 kPa

Fd Lx2 = 9.8 x 52 = 245 kNm/m

 For this slab, the design moments would be

x dirn
M*-ve = 14.9 kNm/m
M*+ve = 11.3 kNm/m (and 15.7 kNm/m in one bay)

y dirn
M*-ve = 11.6 kNm/m (and 13.9 kNm/m in one bay)
M*+ve = 8.6 kNm/m (and 10.6 kNm/m in one bay)

Probably also governed by minimum steel requirements.

Loads to beams – See Fig. 6.10.3.4

w1 = 9.8 kPa x 2.5m = 24.5kN/m peak UDL (Total load = 5m x 24.5 / 2 = 61.3kN)

w2 = 9.8kPa x (2.5 + 2.5) = 49kN/m peak UDL (Total load per span =122.5 kN)

Effective flange width (Clause 8.8.2)

a = 0.7L = 3500 mm

L-beam: beff = bw + 0.1a = 300 + 0.1 x 3500 = 650 mm

T-beam: beff = bw + 0.2a = 1000 mm

Question 2

Ly = 12 m, Lx = 10 m
Exposure A1, hence f’c = 25 MPa (minimum 20mm cover BUT 25mm better – We will use 25mm)
Q = 4 kPa

Estimate depth using table C.3 from p540 in textbook

Two adjacent edges discontinuous, Ly/Lx = 12/10 = 1.2, Q = 4 kPa


Consider total deflection and interpolating between the 4 values appropriately:
Estimate Lnx/37

Hence Ds ≥ 10,000/37 = 271 mm

Try D = 270 mm

Strength design

Fd = 1.2G + 1.5Q
= 1.2 (0.27 x 24) + 1.5 x 4
= 13.8 kPa

Table 6.10.3.2 Case 6


Ly/Lx = 12/10 = 1.2

Hence βx = 0.046, βy = 0.035

+ve moments at mid-span

M*x +ve = 0.046 x 13.8 x 102 = 63.5 kNm/m

M*y +ve = 0.035 x 13.8 x 102 = 48.3 kNm/m

-ve moments

Continuous edges
AB M*-ve = 1.33 x 48.3 = 64.2 kNm/m

BE M*-ve = 1.33 x 63.5 = 84.4 kNm/m

Discontinuous edges
AC M*-ve = 0.5 x 63.5 = 31.8 kNm/m

CE M*-ve = 0.5 x 48.3 = 24.2 kNm/m

Minimum steel (Sec 9.1.1)

d = 270 – 25 – 6 = 239 mm

Ast
= 0.19 x (270/239)2 x [0.6(25)0.5]/500 = 0.00145
bd

Ast min = = 0.00145 x 1000 x 239 = 348 mm2/m

= N12 @ 300 cts (367 mm2/m)

Design for Bending Moment

M*-ve = 84.4 kNm/m worst case for top reinforcement

Mu = 84.4 / 0.85 = 99.3 kNm/m

Mu = fsyAst0.925d (for slabs use z ≈ 0.925d instead of 0.85d used for beams)

99.3∗106
Hence 𝐴𝑠𝑡 = 500∗0.925∗239 = 898 mm2/m => Try N16 @ 225 cts (889 mm2/m)

T = Astfsy
= 889 x 500 / 1000 = 444.5 kN

C = 2f’cbkud

 = 0.97 – 0.0025*25 = 0.908 (>0.67 – ok)


2 = 0.85 – 0.0015*25 = 0.813 (> 0.67 – ok)

So 444.5 x 103 = 0.908 x 25 x 1000 x 0.813 x ku x 239

4 of 5
Hence ku = 0.10 < 0.36 OK ductile and strain in steel greater than yield strain.

= 444.5 x 0.239 (1 - 0.5 x 0.908 x 0.10)
= 101.4 kNm/m

φMu = 0.85 x 101.4 = 86.2 kNm/m > M*x = 84.4 kNm/m OK

ADOPT N16 @ 225 cts in x direction (TOP)

M*+ve = 63.5 kNm/m worst case, so Mu = 63.5 / 0.85 = 74.7 kNm/m

Mu = fsyAst0.925d

74.7∗106
Hence 𝐴𝑠𝑡 = 500∗0.925∗239 = 675 mm2/m

So for x direction, positive moment, try N16 @ 300 cts (667 mm2/m)

T = Astfsy
= 667 x 500 / 1000 = 333.5 kN

C = 2f’cbkud

 = 0.97 – 0.0025*25 = 0.908 (>0.67 – ok)


2 = 0.85 – 0.0015*25 = 0.813 (> 0.67 – ok)

So 333.5 x 103 = 0.908 x 25 x 1000 x 0.813 x ku x 239

Hence ku = 0.076 < 0.36 OK ductile and strain in steel greater than yield strain.

 1 
M u  T  d  k u d 
 2 
= 333.5 x 0.239 (1 - 0.5 x 0.908 x 0.076)
= 77.0 kNm/m

φMu = 0.85 x 77.0 = 65.4 kNm/m > M*x = 63.5 kNm/m OK

ADOPT N16 @ 300 cts in x direction (BOTTOM)

Continue for Top & Bottom steel in y direction, remembering that minimum steel must always be
provided.

Also check shear capacity of the slab and deflection.
