( 2.) Concrete not exposed to earth or weather.
< 32 = 2.0 cm

Min. covers for fire ratings should also be considered.

 Summary of One-way Solid Slab
Design Procedure
Select representative 1-m wide design
strip/strips to span in the short direction
Choose a slab thickness
 Calculate the factored load by magnifying
service dead and live loads according to
this equation . The dead load includes own
weight of the slab in addition to the
covering materials it supports. The live load
is dependent on the intended use of the
slab.

Draw the shear force and bending moment

diagrams for the strip
 Example 1
Using the ACI-Code approximate structural
analysis, design for a warehouse, a continuous
one-way slab supported on beams 5.0 m apart
as shown in Figure . Assume that the beam
webs are 30 cm wide. The dead load is 3 kN/m2
in addition to the slab own weight, and the live
load is 2 kN/m2. Use

Ribbed Slab
 One-way Ribbed Slab Design
Notes
According to ACI-Code 8.11.6.1, topping slab
thickness is not to be less than 1/12 the clear
distance between ribs, nor less than 5.0 cm.

According to ACI-Code 8.11.8, shear strength

provided by rib concrete Vc may be taken 10 %
greater than those for beams. It is permitted to
increase shear strength using shear reinforcement
or by widening the ends of ribs

Ribs are designed as rectangular beams in the

regions of positive moment between the supports
and as T-shaped beams in the regions of negative
moments at the supports. Effective flange width beff
is taken as half the distance between ribs, center-to-
center
Summary of One-way Ribbed Slab
Design Procedure
The direction of ribs is chosen.
The overall slab thickness h is determined
based on deflection control requirement.
The factored load on each of the ribs is
computed.
The shear force and bending moment
diagrams are drawn.
The strength of web in shear is checked.
Design positive and negative moment
reinforcement.
 Example 2
Design a one-way ribbed slab to cover a 4 m x 10
m panel, shown in Figure below. The covering
materials weigh 2 kN/m2, the live load is 2
kN/m2 f c 25Mpa
