Since the proposed reinforcement, S-400, is less than 500 Mpa, we need to apply correction

2.5. Ribbed Slab Design of 2nd Floor
Introduction
Ribbed slabs proved economic for spans of more than 5 m with light or moderate live loads,
such as hospitals, offices or residential buildings. They are not suitable for structures
having heavy live loads such as warehouses or parking garages. The joists span one way
between beams.
The main advantage of using hollow blocks is the reduction in weight by removing the
part of the concrete below the neutral axis. Additional advantages are:
Ease of construction.
Hollow blocks make it possible to have smooth ceiling which is often required for
architectural considerations.
Provides good sound and temperature insulation properties.
Arrangement of Ribs
The designer has to make up his mind regarding the option he prefers. Some designers opt to
run the ribs in a direction that leads to smaller moments and shears in the supporting beams
which means much more reinforcement in the ribs. Other designers opt to run the ribs in
the shorter direction which leads to much more reinforcement in the supporting beams.
The latter option leads to more economical design.
Since running the ribs in the shorter direction leads to economy, we will run the ribs in the
shorter direction. Other than running the ribs in the shorter direction, continuous spans are
more preferable than single spans, since they lead to moment redistribution.
Ribbed Slab Layout
From EBCS EN 1990:2014, Table 7.4N, the span to effective depth ratio for end and
interior span are:
𝑙
= 18, 𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛
𝑑
𝑙
= 20 , 𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑛
𝑑
From the slab layout, the maximum span for both interior and end span is 5.08m,
therefore the necessary effective depth becomes:
d = 5080/ 18=282.2mm, End Span
d = 5080/ 20= 254mm, Interior Span
Therefore, a minimum of 282.2mm effective depth should be provided. Since the provided
effective depth is adequate further deflection check is required.

Stair Design
In multi-story buildings, ramps, elevators, escalators, and stairs are often employed
to facilitate vertical circulation. Circulation refers to the movement of people and
goods between interior spaces in buildings and to entrances and exits. Stairs are
important building elements that are used to provide vertical circulation and access
across different floor levels in a building. It is also recommended that when an
access height exceeds 600mm, a staircase should be provided. In modern
architecture, stairs are designed to be aesthetically pleasing, and this contributes
immensely to the interior beauty of a house. There are different types of stairs with
different configurations. For stairs, the recommended slope for comfort is 27°, but
for practical purposes, this can sometimes be extended to 35°.
The bending moments should be calculated from the ultimate load due to the total
weight of the stairs and imposed load, measured on plan, combined with the
horizontal span. Stresses produced by the longitudinal thrust are small and
generally neglected in the design of simple systems.
Fig: Elaborate reinforcement pattern in stair case

3.1.On Thread
3.1.1. Weight of finishing (Marble) 0.54 KN/m
Total load on the Landing area at ultimate limit state = 10.32 KN/m
We intend to apply all gravity loads purely in the global y-direction; therefore we convert the load at the waist of
the stair from local to global direction by considering the angle of inclination of the flight area to the horizontal.
Remark
To get the line load of riser in global axis (Y-axis) , follow the following steps.
1. Change volume load to point load by multiplying the unit weight of material used (for concrete 25KN/m3)
by width, depth and thickness of the riser (width taken with 1m).
2. Divide this point load by thread width to change the point load to line load.
Now lastly check whether the provided initial depth is adequate or not with the actually provided reinforcement
on the support or Span whichever is maximum.

For beams, End moment = FEM + 2 *near end contribution + Far end contributions.
For columns, End moment = FEM + 2 *near end contribution + Far end contribution + linear displacement

To design the reinforcements of the different columns laid thought out the height of the

Since λcalculated (28.06) < λlim(2-2) (40.75) and λcalculated (29.05) < λlim(3-3)= 37.87 , thus the column
is classified as short column and proceed to determine the design moment and the
corresponding area of steel reinforcement.
5.3.1. Design moment MED2-2 and MED3-3 about M 2-2 and M 3-3 direction respectively.
Calculate different types of eccentricities on the column
Eccentricity due to accident, allowance for imperfection
ea(2-2)=max{h/30,20}= max{250/30,20/1000}=0.02
ea(3-3)=max{h/30,20}= max{250/30,20/1000}=0.02
ee is equivalent constant first – order eccentricity of the design axial load
e2 is the second order eccentricity.
ee=max{0.6*e02(2-2)+0.4*eo1(2-2),0.4*e02(2-2)}
Where, e02 being positive and greater in magnitude.
e01 is positive, if the column bents in single curvature and negative, if the column
bends in double curvature.
e01(2-2)=M01(2-2)/Nsd=2.08/111.24=0.019
e01(3-3)=M01(3-3)/Nsd=10.09/111.24=0.091
e02(2-2)=M02(2-2)/Nsd=3.2/111.24= 0.0288
e02(3-3)=M02(3-3)/Nsd=13.91/111.24= 0.1250
ee(2-2)=max {0.6*e02(2-2)+0.4*eo1(2-2),0.4*e02(2-

Therefore, the design Moment will include all this eccentricities and is calculated
as follows:
Msd(2-2) =Nsd*etot(2-2)=111.24*0.0448=4.98KNm

Beams are flexural members which are used to transfer the loads from slab to columns. Basically beams should be
designed for flexure (moment). Furthermore it is essential to check and design the beam sections for torsion and
shear. Beams may be designed for flexural moment depending on the magnitude of the moment and the X-
sectional dimensions. On the other hand the beam can be singly reinforced, doubly reinforced T or F section.
Avoid larger spacing of beam from deflection and cracking criteria. Because it is well known that the
deflection varies directly with the cube of the span and reversely with the cube of the depth i.e. L 3/D3
consequently an increase in D is less than increase in span L which results in greater deflection for larger
span.
Therefore, span of beam which require the depth of beam greater than one meter should as far as possible be
avoided.
6.2. First Floor beam on axis C with 20% moment redistribution
To calculate the distance d1and d2 in which the center of main rebar located with reference to the extreme fiber of the concrete, use
the following approach for the top and bottom reinforcement.
z= d*Kz=352*0.976=343.55mm
Msds,lim= μsds,lim*fcd*b*d*d=(0.205*11.33*300*352)/1000000=86.36KNm
Figure: - Spacing requirement between bars, min and max steel area to be provided for a given
concrete beam section, and max stirrup spacing requirement.
Provided steel number , 2ϕ14
Since the spacing calculated (196mm) is greater than all the above values, we arrange 2ϕ14 in
the span in one layer.
z= d*Kz=352*0.967=340.38mm
Msds,lim= μsds,lim*fcd*b*d*d=(0.205*11.33*300*352)/1000000=86.36KNm
Since the spacing calculated (196mm) is greater than all the above values, we arrange 2ϕ14 in the span in one layer.

NEd is the axial force in the cross-section due to loading or prestressing in newtons
(NEd>0 for compression). The influence of imposed deformations on NE may be ignored.
AC is the area of concrete cross section [mm2](cross-sectional area of the beam)
VRd,c is in newtons.

Fig 6.4 : Inclination of concrete strut in compression for vertically oriented shear
reinforcement(stirr up).,θ(Angle of inclination) varies from 21.80 to 450.
Where:
α is the inclination of the shear reinforcement to the longitudinal axis of the beam(in our
case it is 900 since the orientation of stirrup is straight vertically).
VRd,s= is the design shear force obtained from analysis(Vcritical-VRd,c)
Asw-area of single shear reinforcement used times 4(4*as).
We will calculate the shear reinforcement needed between C1 and C2 as follows:
1. Calculate VRd,c
fck is in Mpa=20Mpa
CRd,c=0.18/Υc=0.18/1.5=0.12
k = 1+ (200/d) ≤ 2.0,with d in mm,1+(200/352)=1.75≤2

d=352mm

0.0029
σcp = NEd/Ac < 0.2*fcd[MPa]=0 ( since Axial force stress is negligible for a beam
member compared to shear force stress).
VRd,c=((0.12*1.75)*(100*0.0029*20)^(1/3))+(0.15*0))*300*352)/1000=39.99KN
.
With VRd,c,min:
Vmin=0.035*1.752/3*201/2 = 0.2276
VRd,c,min= ((0.2276+(0.15*0))*300*352)/1000= 24.04KN.
Since VRd,c(39.99KN)>VRd,c,min(24.04KN)—Ok. Therefore ,take VRd,c=39.99KN
2. Calculate VRd,max:
αcw= 1
bw=300mm
d=352mm
z=0.9*d=0.9*352=316.8mm
v=0.6
fcd= 0.85*fck/1.5=(0.85*20)/1.5= 11.33Mpa
cotθ=2.5 , since the angle of concrete strut assumed to be around 21.80
tanθ=1/ cotθ=1/2.5=0.4
VRd,max = (1*300*316.8*0.6*11.33)/((2.5+0.4)*1000)=222.85KN
6.2.3.3. Required shear reinforcement spacing calculation between C1 and C2 of first floor.
Colum dimension on below and above this floor and axis = 300X300
Distance ‘d’ from the face of the column = 0.3/2+0.352 =0.502m
Remember here that the critical section for beam shear is at‘d’ distance from the face of the column.
Using similarity of triangles, first we locate the position where the shear crosses the zero x-axis,
x1/1.23 = (44.83/1.23-0.502) ,solving for x1,we get, x1= 30.28 KN=Vcritcal,1
Also for the right side shear
x2/1.55 = (56.13/1.55-0.502) , solving for x2 we get, x2= 41.97KN=Vcritical,2
Now we can calculate the design shear , since some amount of shear calculated above can be
resisted by the shear capacity(VRd,c=39.99KN) of the concrete material used.
Therefore, VRd,s= Vcritical,1-VRd,c= 30.28KN-39.99KN=-9.71KN- this indicates the concrete shear capacity is enough for the left
side of the beam.
For the right side, VRd,s= Vcritical,2-VRd,c = 41.97KN-39.99KN=1.98KN—thus needs shear reinforcement to resist this addition
shear force.

σa = 208.97*(1+0.00952+0.003064) = 211.6011kpa
σb = 208.97* (1+0.00952-0.003064) = 210.3107kpa
σc = 208.97* (1-0.00952+0.003064) = 207.6213kpa
σd = 208.97* (1-0.00952-0.003064) = 206.33kpa
Taking average stress, since the difference between adjacent pressures is small, we have:
σavg = (211.6011+210.3107+207.6213+206.33)/4 = 208.97kpa<300kpa (Okay!)
Therefore, the final plan dimension of the footing is:
L=1.5m
B=1.5m

The punching resistance of column bases should be verified at control

required for the critical moment found on the face of the column.
First the area reaction of the soil( according to Newton Third law) , would be
equal and opposite to the stress caused by the applied load from foundation
column. It is calculated as:
qsoil,stress= Axial Loadcolumn/Area of the footing.=
470.17KN/(1.5*1.5)m2=208.96KN/m2=209KN/m2
Fig 7.4: the critical Moment at the face of the column of the designed isolated
footing.
To find the length from the face of the column to the edge of the footing, use the
following approach:
lface= 1.5-(1.5/2+0.35/2)=0.575m
Msds= qsoil,stress *lface*lface/2 *1.5m(traversal width taken)=
209KN/m2*0.575m*0.575m*1.5m=52KNm

Total number of rebars used in the footing can be determined using the formula:
S(Spacing)=(L/B-[n*φ+(2*cc)])/(n-1)= rearranging and solving for n , we get the
following formula:
n=(L/B-2*cc+S)/(S+ φ)=(1500-(2*50)+280)/(280+14)=5.71=6
Therefore, the total provided number of rebars for the longitudinal
reinforcement is, 6 numbers of rebars of diameter 14 in the longitudinal
reinforcement for this footing.
Lastly, we calculate the traverse direction and for shrinkage on the both direction
of the Top side of the footing using Ast,min as follows:
Ast,min=(2.2*0.26/fyk)*b*d= ((2.2*0.26)/400)*1500*193=414mm2
