Introduction
Reinforced concrete building construction
commonly has floor slabs, beams, girders and
columns continuously placed to form a
monolithic system.

Example S1
A one-way single span reinforced concrete
slab has a simple span of 5.0 m. The service
live load is 15 kN/m2, the dead load is 10
kN/m2 (including self weight) and 28 MPa
concrete is specified for use with steel with a
yield stress equal to 420 MPa. Design the slab,
following the provisions of the ACI code.

Example S2
A reinforced concrete slab is built integrally
with its supports and consists of two equal
spans, each with clear span of 4.5 m. The
service live load is 5 kN/m2, and 28 MPa
concrete (Density =23.5 kN/m3) is specified for
use with steel with a yield stress equal to 420
MPa. Design the slab, following the provisions
of the ACI code.

Calculate the moments using the ACI coefficients

listed in section 8.3.3 of the ACI code
CE 432 1st Semester 14/15
Dr. Nadim Shbeeb

Example S2
8.3.3 As an alternate to frame analysis, the following approximate
moments and shears shall be permitted for design of continuous
beams and one-way slabs (slabs reinforced to resist flexural stresses
in only one direction), provided (a) through (e) are satisfied:
(a) There are two or more spans;
(b) Spans are approximately equal, with the larger of two
adjacent spans not greater than the shorter by more than 20
percent;
(c) Loads are uniformly distributed;
(d) Un-factored live load, L, does not exceed three times unfactored dead load, D; and
(e) Members are prismatic.
