A slab spans 25\' and has a minimum thickness of 15\". Design the slab to support a live load of 65 PSF and a dead load of 30 PSF plus the weight of the slab.
F\'c = 4000 PSI
Fy = 60 KSI
Solution
Solution:- Design of one way slab:-
Given
D = 15 inch
Span = 25 feet
Let Width = 16 feet
Live load = 65 psf
Live load = 65 *16 = 1040 pound/feet
Weight of slab = 15/12 *16*150 =3000 pound/feet
Density of concrete = 150 pcf
Total dead load = 30*16 + 3000 = 3480 pound/feet
Total load = live load + total dead load
Total load = 1040 + 3480 = 4520 pound/feet
Factored load (wu) = 1.5 *4520 = 6780 pound/feet
Let effective cover of slab = 1 inch
Effective depth(d) = 15 – 1 = 14 inch
Effective span(l) = 25 +14/12 = 26.16 feet
B.M = wu*l2/8
B.M. = 6780*(26.16)2/8
B.M. = 579.98 kips –feet
We know that
B.M. = 0.87fyAst*(d – fy*Ast/(fcb))
579.98 *103*12 * (14 – 60000*Ast/(4000 *16*12))
Area of steel(Ast) = 10.09 inch2
Provide 0.7 inch diameter bars @ 6 inch spacing C/C
Shrinkage and temperature reinforcement = 0.15% area of concrete
Shrinkage and temperature reinforcement = 0.0015 *15*(16*12)
= 4.32 inch2
Provide 0.5 inch diameter bars @ 4 inch spacing C/C.
