Slab Thickness Considerations

What governs the thickness of a slab?
Flexural Strength
Shear
Deflections

Usually, deflections will govern the

thickness requirements for a one-way slab
Size slab based on deflection requirements
Check shear
Design reinforcement for flexure

Slab Thickness Considerations

(such that we do not need to compute
deflections)
For simply-supported beams, total beam
depth h must be at least L/16

A 16 ft. long simply supported beam must be

at least 12 in. deep.

For simply-supported one-way slabs, total

slab thickness h must be at least L/20
A 10 ft. long simply supported one-way slab
must be at least 6 in. deep.

You will have to look up other values!!!

Slab Thickness Considerations

Something to keep in mind.
Your material properties!
These tables are based on normal
strength concrete
You may wish to consider creative ways
to adjust tables for your low concrete
strength
Hint: Think about what the key concrete
material property related to deflections is

Load Path / Framing Possibilities

Now we can begin to develop a
framing plan for our structure
Typical practice on site is a 5 in. thick slab
We have a methodology to determine how
far a slab of a given thickness can span
Do our material properties have any
effect?

Lets look at a plan view of the twostory section

Ln = 10.5 ft.

between girders
with our slab,
then we have a
load path, but if
the spans are
too long

Note that by running
the one-way slab in
this EW direction, we
are actually making
the EW running beams
our major girders
The NS running beams
simply transfer the
load out to these
girders (or directly to
a column)

think about
shortening up the

running beams

approach, we have

Framing Concepts - Conclusions

Either load path will work
In this case, they are identical
With a rectangular bay (instead of a
square) bay, there will be a
difference
Tradeoff is usually in number of
supporting members vs. span of
supporting members

Framing Concepts - Considerations

For your structure:
Look for a natural load path
Identify which column lines are best
suited to having major framing
members (i.e. girders)
Assume walls are not there for
structural support, but consider that
the may help you in construction
(forming)

Connection / Analysis Issues

With continuous reinforced
concrete framing systems,
connections are a major issue with
respect to:
Detailing of reinforcement at these
congested areas
Assumptions regarding fixity of
beams and slabs
34

Connection / Analysis Issues

Lets first
consider our
continuous oneway slab (12

framing into an
exterior
(spandrel) beam

Slab-Exterior Beam Connection

Slab is a six span continuous system

Some fixity at end of slab due to torsional
rigidity of exterior beam, but what happens
when beam and slab crack?
Do we want to count on fixity?

Also, if we design slab for negative moment

here, we must develop reinforcement (like a
cantilever)

36

Villanova University

Slab-Exterior Beam Connection

Typical
assumptions:
Simple support at
end
No moment in
slab at end
Place some
reinforcement at
top of slab to
control cracking
Design exterior
beam for minimal
torsion

joints

Beam-Girder Connection

Beam is a two span continuous system

Similar situation: some fixity at end of beam
due to torsional rigidity of exterior girder, but
what happens when beam and girder crack?
Do we want to count on fixity?

Also, if we design beam for negative moment

here, we must develop reinforcement (like a
cantilever)

Analysis One-Way Slab & T-Beams

For the simple elements just described,
where supports are provided by beams
and girders,

Supporting elements have some stiffness,

but it is fairly small
Assumption of treating one-way slabs and Tbeams as continuous beams is valid
A frame analysis is not needed since there
are no columns involved
Simple analysis methods can be used if all
assumptions are met (i.e. ACI moment
coefficients)

Connection / Analysis Issues

Finally, lets look
at beam-column
and girdercolumn joints
Three situations:
Interior column
Exterior column
Corner column

Interior Column Connection

Girders framing in to a column:

Columns will provide some rigidity

Moments will depend upon
distribution of stiffness
Frame analysis is warranted to
determine these moments
Unbalanced loading (patterned live
load) must be considered
Goal: Determine moments in
girders (they will not necessarily
be equal), as well as axial load &
moment combinations for columns

Beam/girder reinforcement
must be continuous through
joint

Exterior Column Connection

Same basic situation:

Columns will provide some rigidity

distribution of stiffness
Frame analysis is warranted to
determine these moments
Unbalanced loading (patterned live
load) must be considered
Goal: Determine moments in girders
(they will not necessarily be equal),
as well as axial load & moment
combinations for columns

be developed for negative
moment

Corner Column Connection

This is essentially the same
situation as an exterior
column
Note that where we have
beams (not girders) framing
into columns, the same
principles apply
However, these moments are
typically very small and will
usually not control the design

Analysis Girders & Beams Framing Into

Columns
For these elements, support is provided
by columns
Columns have substantial stiffness and
will attract some moments
Assumption of treating these girders and
beams as continuous beams is not valid
A frame analysis is needed to determine the
appropriate distribution of moments
Elastic analysis is recommended (STAAD,
PCABeam)
