Description
• Commonly used in Lebanon.
• Typically between 10 and 50 cm thick, most often used to construct
floors and.
• Structural slabs are often supported by beams and are named one or
two-way slabs depending on their shape, or they may be supported
by columns and these are termed flat slabs
• Slabs also may be supported directly by the natural ground surface,
or by a prepared and compacted sub base and sub grade. Highway
pavements, airport runways, are common examples
Layout
Sizing
Standard Sizes
420 – 380 = 40
hs Max. b = Min.b + 40
h
S Min. b
Rib WT. = [R.T.W slab thk. (hs) + (h – hs)(Max.b + Min.b)/2]25kN/m3 divide by R.T.W
Block WT. divided by R.T.W divided by block width
Example: bw = 120 Rib WT. = [0.54 0.06 + (0.12)(0.16 + 0.12)/2]25kN/m3 divide by 0.54 = 2.28kN/m2
Block weight = 0.1kN/(0.54m 0.2m) = 0.926kN/m2
DESIGN EXAMPLE (same problem from solid slab)
Given: f’c = 25MPa; fy = 400MPa, SDL = 5kN/m2 (excluding slab weight); LL = 2.5kN/m2; cc = 25mm; db = 10mm;
all beams are 350900mm; all columns are 600350mm; slab thickness is 150mm. Use 6mm stirrups
ACI Table 9.3.1.1 slab thk. = Ln/18.5 = (5 – 0.35)/18.5 = 0.25m. Try 0.24m as ACI limits are always conservative
Applied Load
hs Max. b = Min.b + 40 h
bw = 150
Total: 4.068kN/m2
Moments
Wu = 1.2(4.068 + 5) + 1.6(2.5) = 14.88kN/m2 0.57m (R.T.W) = 8.48 kN/m

NOTE
• Based on common practice, if end beams have a depth larger than 3
times the thickness of the slab, then it can be considered as restrained.
• Otherwise, the beam is unrestrained at the end (e.g. zero moment)
• In homework 6, the beam depth is 600mm 3 times 280mm = 840 mm,
therefore it is unrestrained moment at end is zero and positive
moment = WuL2/11 instead of WuL2/14
RTW = bw + 420
