2 Organization of the Lecture Analysis & design of one way slab system The ACI code approximate method of analysis called as strip method is used for the analysis of one way slabs. This topic has already been covered in BSc lectures 3 & 4, Please download the same from the website. Analysis & design of one way joist system This topic will be covered in this lecture. 3 Organization of the Lecture Analysis & design of two way slab system with beams The ACI code approximate method of analysis called as moment coefficient method is generally used for the analysis of two way slabs supported on stiff beams or walls. This topic has been covered in BSc lecture 4, please download the same from the website. 4 2

3 Organization of the Lecture Analysis & design of two way slab system without beams (flat plate & flat slabs) The ACI code approximate method of analysis called as Direct Design Method (DDM) is used for the analysis of flat plates and flat slabs. This topic has been covered in BSc lecture 5. The students can download the same from the website. However this topic will also be quickly discussed in this lecture. Please note that DDM can also be used for the analysis of two way slabs with beams. However as the application of this method to such systems is relative difficult therefore these systems are generally analyzed using moment coefficient method instead of DDM, provided that beams are relatively stiff. 5 Organization of the Lecture Analysis & design of two way joist system This topic will be discussed in this lecture. 6 3

4 Organization of the Lecture Therefore in this lecture, only the following topics will be discussed. Analysis & design of one way joist system Analysis & design of two way slab system without beams (flat plate & flat slabs) Analysis & design of two way joist system 7 Analysis & design of one way joist system 8 4

5 Contents General Characteristics Basic Steps Serviceability Requirements 9 General Joist: T-beams called joists are formed by creating void spaces in what otherwise would be a solid slab. Joist Construction: Joist construction consists of a monolithic combination of regularly spaced ribs and a top slab (T beam or Joist) arranged to span in one direction or two orthogonal directions. Rib 10 5

6 General ACI code 8.11 contains provisions for joist construction aimed at facilitating the analysis and design of joist system as compared to regular slab beam system. A structural system will be however called as joist system if the pan width (clear spacing between ribs) is less than or equal to 30 inches (ACI ). 11 General If the system does not fulfill the requirements of joist system then it shall be designed as regular slab beam system which means that slab shall be designed for flexure and beam shall be designed for flexure and shear. 12 6

7 Characteristics Suitable for long spans Economical range: 30 ft 50 ft 13 Characteristics Pan voids reduce dead load. Electrical/mechanical equipment can be placed between joists. Clear, unobstructed tenant space. Less effect of vibrations due to stiffer system. Standard forms for the void spaces between ribs are either 20 or 30 inches wide, and 8, 10, 12, 16, or 20 inches deep. 14 7

8 Characteristics Economical for buildings such as apartment houses, hotels, and hospitals, where the live loads are fairly small and the spans comparatively long. Forms are tapered in cross section generally at a slope of 1 to 12 to facilitate removal. 15 Basic Steps for Structural Design Step No. 01 (Sizes): Sizes of all structural and non structural elements are decided. Step No. 02 (Loads): Loads on structure are determined based on occupational characteristics and functionality. Step No. 03 (Analysis): Effect of loads are calculated on all structural elements. Step No. 04 (Design): Structural elements are designed for the respective load effects following code provisions. 16 8

9 Basic Steps for Structural Design Sizes: Depth of joist: Same table as used for one way slabs can be used to find depth of joist. l = Span length (same as for solid one way slab) The depth of the joist includes the slab depth. 17 Basic Steps for Structural Design Sizes: Width of joist: Minimum width of rib = Depth of rib/3.5 but not less than 4. Depth of slab Minimum slab thickness = clear distance between ribs/12 but not less than

10 Basic Steps for Structural Design Loads: One way Joist systems are usually designed for gravity loading (U = 1.2D + 1.6L). The joist is analyzed for load (per running foot) over a width equal to the center to center spacing between the joists as shown: b b 19 Basic Steps for Structural Design Analysis: For the purpose of analysis, a single T shaped joist is considered

11 Basic Steps for Structural Design Analysis: ACI approximate analysis is applicable. Uniformly distributed load (L/D 3) 1.2l n l n Prismatic members Two or more spans 21 Basic Steps for Structural Design Analysis: w u Integral with support l n l n Simple support l n Spandrel support Column support 1/14 1/16 1/11 1/24 1/10* 1/11 1/11 1/10* 0 1/16 *1/9 (2 spans) * 1/12 (for all spans with l n < 10 ft) Note: For simply supported slab, M = w u l 2 /8, where l = span length (ACI 8.7). Positive Moment x w u l n 2 Negative Moment x w u l n

12 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design: Design of joist for flexure: Design of one way joist is just like design of a beam. 23 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design: Flexural Reinforcement Placement in joist Reinforcement for the joists usually consists of two bars in the positive bending region, with one bar discontinued where no longer needed or bend up to provide a part of negative steel requirement over the supporting girder. One way joists are generally proportioned with the concrete providing all of the shear strength, with no shear reinforcement used

13 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design: Flexural Reinforcement Placement in joist Slab Main Reinforcement (located at mid depth): As required by flexural demand but ACI 7.12 (shrinkage reinf.) For Joist negative bending: As required by flexural demand ACI (Minimum reinforcement for flexural members) For Joist positive bending: As required by flexural demand but ACI (Minimum reinforcement for flexural members) 25 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design: Flexural Reinforcement Placement in joist Skin reinforcement ACI states that if the effective depth d of a beam or joist exceeds 36 inches, longitudinal skin reinforcement shall be provided as per ACI section

14 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design: Maximum Spacing Requirement for flexural reinforcement in slab If spacing is obtained by flexural demand than compare spacing with: Least of 3h or 18 (ACI 7.6.5) If shrinkage reinforcement is governing than compare spacing with: Least of 5h or 18 (ACI ) 27 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design: Design for Shear If V u ΦV c, then shear capacity shall be increased either by increasing rib depth or width or by providing single legged shear reinforcement. If V u < ΦV c the section is safe against shear. Even minimum reinforcement as required for the beams with [ΦV c /2 < V u < ΦV c ] is not required as per ACI

15 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design: Design for Shear ACI : Minimum shear reinforcement A minimum area of shear reinforcement shall be provided in all reinforced concrete flexural members (prestressed and nonprestressed) where factored shear force V u exceeds one-half the shear strength provided by concreteφv c, except: (a) Slabs and footings; (b) Concrete joist construction defined by 8.11; (c) Beams with total depth not greater than 10 inches., 29 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design: Design for Shear For joist construction, contribution of concrete to shear strength V c shall be permitted to be 10 percent more than that specified in Chapter 11. Critical shear demand section shall be at a distance d from the face of the support

Minimum Reinforcement (ACI ): A smin = bh f for grade 60. A smin = bh f for grade 40 and

34 Detailing of flexural reinforcement Reinforcement placement: In case of two way slabs supported on beams, short-direction bars are normally placed closer to the top or bottom surface of the slab, with the larger effective depth because of greater moment in short direction. 67 Detailing of flexural reinforcement Reinforcement placement: However in the case of flat plates/slabs, the long-direction negative and positive bars, in both middle and column strips, are placed closer to the top or bottom surface of the slab, respectively, with the larger effective depth because of greater moment in long direction

35 Detailing of flexural reinforcement Splicing: ACI requires that all bottom bars within the column strip in each direction be continuous or spliced with length equal to 1.0 l d. Splicing shall be provided in location where yielding is not expected. 69 Detailing of flexural reinforcement Continuity of bars: At least two of the column strip bars in each direction must pass within the column core and must be anchored at exterior supports (ACI )

36 Detailing of flexural reinforcement Standard Bar Cut off Points (Practical Recommendation) for column and middle strips both. 71 Detailing of flexural reinforcement Reinforcement at Exterior Corners: Reinforcement should be provided at exterior corners in both the bottom and top of the slab, for a distance in each direction from the corner equal to one-fifth the longer span of the corner panel as shown in figure. The positive and negative reinforcement should be of size and spacing equivalent to that required for maximum positive moments (per foot of width) in the panel (ACI ) l /5 l /5 l = longer clear span 72 36

37 Summary of Direct Design Method Decide about sizes of slab and columns. The slab depth can be calculated from ACI table 9.5 (c). Find Load on slab (w u = 1.2DL + 1.6LL) On given column plan of building, decide about location and dimensions of all frames (exterior and interior) For a particular span of frame, find static moment (M o = w u l 2 l n2 /8). 73 Summary of Direct Design Method Find longitudinal distribution of static moment: Exterior span (M ext - = 0.26M o ; M ext + = 0.52M o ; M int - = 0.70M o ) Interior span (M int - = 0.65M o ; M int + = 0.35M o ) Find lateral Distribution of each longitudinal moment: 100 % of M ext goes to column strip 60 % of M ext + and M int+ goes to column strip 75 % of M int goes to column strip The remaining moments goes to middle strips Design and apply reinforcement requirements (s max = 2h f ) 74 37

38 Analyze the flat plate shown below using DDM. The slab supports a live load of 144 psf. All columns are 14 square. Take f c = 4 ksi and f y = 60 ksi. See BSc Lecture 5 for solution of this example Contents of Section-II General Various Design Options 76 38

39 General Punching Shear in Flat Plates Punching shear occurs at column support points in flat plates and flat slabs. Shear crack Punch Out 77 General Critical Section for Punching Shear 78 39

40 General Critical Section for Shear Design In shear design of flat plates, the critical section is an area taken at a distance d/2 from all face of the support. Column Critical perimeter Slab Tributary Area, A t d/2 d/2 Slab thickness (h) d = h cover 79 General Punching Shear: Critical Perimeter, b o c 1,S d/2 c 1,L d/2 b o = 2(c 1,S + d) + 2(c 1,L + d) 80 40

41 General Punching Shear: Critical Perimeter, b o c 1,S d/2 d/2 c 1,L d/2 b o = 2(c 1,S + d/2) + (c 1,L + d) 81 General Punching Shear: Critical Perimeter, b o c 1,L d/2 c 1,S d/2 b o = (c 1,S + d/2) + (c 1,L + d/2) 82 41

42 General Punching Shear Demand (V u ): For Square Column Critical Perimeter, b o : b o = 4(c + d) Area Contributing to Load (Excluding Area of b o ), A t : l 2 A t = (l 1 l 2 ) (c + d) 2 / 144 [l 1 & l 2 are in ft. units and c & d are in inches] Punching Shear Demand: l 1 V u = W u A t 83 General Capacity of Slab in Punching Shear: ΦV n = ΦV c + ΦV s ΦV c is least of: Φ4 (f c )b o d Φ(2 + 4/β c ) (f c )b o d Φ{(α s d/b o +2} (f c )b o d β c = longer side of column/shorter side of column α s = 40 for interior column, 30 for edge column, 20 for corner columns 84 42

43 Various Design Options When ΦV c V u (Φ = 0.75): Nothing is required. When ΦV c < V u, then we need to increase the punching shear capacity of the slab. Punching shear capacity of the flat plates can be increased by either of the following ways: i. Increasing d,depth of slab: This can be done by increasing the slab depth as a whole or in the vicinity of column (Drop Panel) ii. iii. Increasing b o, critical shear perimeter: This can be done by increasing column size as a whole or by increasing size of column head (Column capital) Increasing f c (high Strength Concrete) 85 Various Design Options And/ or provide shear reinforcement (ΦV s ) in the form of: Integral beams Bent Bars Shear heads Shear studs 86 43

44 Various Design Options Drop Panels (ACI and ): 87 Various Design Options Column Capital: ACI requires the column capital should be oriented no greater than 45 0 to the axis of the column. ACI requires that the capital concrete be placed at the same time as the slab concrete. As a result, the floor forming becomes considerably more complicated and expensive. The increased perimeter can be computed by equating V u to ΦV c and simplifying the resulting equation for b

45 Various Design Options Integral Beam and Bent Bars: In case of integral beam or bent bar reinforcement following must be satisfied. ACI requires the slab effective depth d to be at least 6 in., but not less than 16 times the diameter of the shear reinforcement. When bent bars and integral beams are to be used, ACI reduces ΦV c by 2 89 Various Design Options Integral Beams Integral Beams require the design of two main components: i. Vertical stirrups ii. Horizontal bars radiating outward from column faces. Vertical Stirrups Horizontal Bars 90 45

46 Various Design Options Integral Beams (Vertical Stirrups) Vertical stirrups are used in conjunction with supplementary horizontal bars radiating outward in two perpendicular directions from the support to form what are termed integral beams contained entirely within the slab thickness. In such a way, critical perimeter is increased Increased Critical Perimeter, b o Vertical stirrups For 4 sides, total stirrup area is 4 times individual 2 legged stirrup area 91 Various Design Options Integral Beams (Horizontal Bars) How much should be the length of the horizontal bars, l v Critical Perimeter, b o c ¾ (l v c/2) l v can be determined using the critical perimeter b o Distance from the face of column to the boundary of critical perimeter = ¾ (l v c/2) X = ¾ (l v c/2) R l v X = ¾ (l v c/2) b o = 4R + 4c 92 46

47 Various Design Options Integral Beams For Square Column of Size c : b o = 4R + 4c... (1) Critical Perimeter, b o ¾ (l v c/2) R = (X 2 + X 2 ) = (2) X Eq (1) => b o = 4 (2) X + 4c c putting value of l v : b o = 4 (2){(3/4)(l v c 1 /2)} + 4c R after simplification, we get: b o = 4.24 l v c The above equation can be used for determining the X = ¾ (l v c/2) length up to which the horizontal bars should be extended beyond the face of column. X = ¾ (l v c/2) 93 Design the flat plate as shown below for punching shear. The slab supports a live load of 144 psf. All columns are 14 square. Take f c = 4 ksi and f y = 60 ksi.

48 Two-Way Joist System 95 Contents General Behavior Characteristics Basic Steps for Structural Design Some Important Points 96 48

49 General A two-way joist system, or waffle slab, comprises evenly spaced concrete joists spanning in both directions and a reinforced concrete slab cast integrally with the joists. Joist 97 General Like one-way joist system, a two way system will be called as two-way joist system if clear spacing between ribs (dome width) does not exceed 30 inches

50 General 99 General The joists are commonly formed by using standard square dome forms and the domes are omitted around the columns to form the solid heads. Solid Head

51 General Standard Dome Data: The dome for waffle slab can be of any size. However the commonly used standard domes are discussed as follows: 30-inch 30-inch square domes with 3-inch flanges; from which 6-inch wide joist ribs at 36-inch centers are formed: these are available in standard depths of 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20 inches. 19-inch 19-inch square domes with 2 ½-inch flanges, from which 5-inch wide joist ribs at 24-inch centers are formed. These are available in standard depths of 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 inches. 101 General Standard Dome Data

52 Behavior The behavior of two-way joist slab is similar to a two way flat Slab system. 103 Characteristics Dome voids reduce dead load. Attractive ceiling (waffle like appearance). Electrical fixtures can be placed in the voids. Particularly advantageous where the use of longer spans and/or heavier loads are desired without the use of deepened drop panels or supported beams

53 Basic Steps for Structural Design Step No. 01 (Sizes): Sizes of all structural and non structural elements are decided. Step No. 02 (Loads): Loads on structure are determined based on occupational characteristics and functionality. Step No. 03 (Analysis): Effect of loads are calculated on all structural elements. Step No. 04 (Design): Structural elements are designed for the respective load effects following code provisions. 105 Basic Steps for Structural Design Sizes Minimum Joist Depth For Joist depth determination, waffle slabs are considered as flat slab (ACI , & 9.5.3). The thickness of equivalent flat slab is taken from table 9.5 (c). The thickness of slab and depth of rib of waffle slab can be then computed by equalizing the moment of inertia of equivalent flat slab to that of waffle slab. However since this practice is time consuming, tables have been developed to determine the size of waffle slab from equivalent flat slab thickness

Basic Steps for Structural Design Sizes Minimum Width of Rib ACI states that ribs shall be not less than 4 inches in width. Maximum Depth of Rib ACI also states that ribs shall have a depth of not more than 3 ½ times the minimum width of rib. Minimum Slab Thickness ACI states that slab thickness shall be not less than one-twelfth the clear distance between ribs, nor less than 2 inch. 55

56 Basic Steps for Structural Design Sizes Solid Head Dimension of solid head on either side of column centerline is equal to l/6. The depth of the solid head is equal to the depth of the combined depth of ribs and top slab. Basic Steps for Structural Design Loads Floor dead load for two-way joist with certain dome size, dome depth can be calculated from the table shown for two options of slab thicknesses (3 inches and 4 ½ inches).

57 Basic Steps for Structural Design Loads Floor dead load (w dj ) for two-way joist can also be calculated as follows: Volume of solid: V solid = ( )/1728 = 8.24 ft Volume of void: V void = ( )/1728 = ft 3 8 Total Load of joists per dome: w dj = (V solid V void ) γ conc = ( ) 0.15 = 0.61 kips/ dome 30 Total Load of joists per sq. ft: w dj / (dome area) = 0.61/ (3 3) = ksf = 68 psf 71 psf (from table 03) The difference is because sloped ribs are not considered. Plan Loads Basic Steps for Structural Design Loads in an interior span of a two way joist system can be calculated as follows: a a w dj w sj w sj l 2 b a a l n l n l 1 a = b/2 c/2 half joist width W sh = W sj + W dj W sj = W sh - W dj W sh = Dead load of solid head W dj = Dead load of joist W sj = Dead load of solid head excluding joist 57

58 Basic Steps for Structural Design Loads Factored loads can be calculated as: w uj = 1.2 w dj + 1.6w L If w L = live load (load/area) 1.2 w sj 1.2 w sj w dj = dead load of joists, then Factored load due to joists (w j ) a l n a w uj = 1.2 w dj + 1.6w L Factored load due to w sj l n w usj = 1.2 w sj Where, w sj = (w dsh w dj ) l 2 b Basic Steps for Structural Design Analysis ACI code allows use of DDM for analysis of waffle slabs (ACI R13.1). In such a case, waffle slabs are considered as flat slabs, with the solid head acting as drop panels (ACI )

59 Basic Steps for Structural Design Analysis Static moment calculation for DDM analysis: w uj w usj w usj l n a l n a M oj l n M osj l 2 b M oj = w uj l 2 l n2 /8 M osj = w usj ba 2 /2 M o = M oj + M osj 117 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design Design for Flexure The design of waffle slab for flexure is done like solid slab design

60 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design Placement of Flexural Reinforcement Slab Reinforcement (located at mid depth): As required by flexural demand but ACI 7.12 (shrinkage reinf.), with max spacing least of 5h or 18 Each joist rib contains two bottom bars. Straight bars are supplied over the column centerlines for negative factored moment. For Main Negative Reinforcement: As required by flexural demand but ACI 7.12 (shrinkage reinf.), with max spacing least of 2h or 18 For Main Positive Reinforcement: As required by flexural demand but ACI 7.12 (shrinkage reinf.) 119 Basic Steps for Structural Design Design Design for punching shear The solid head shall be checked against punching shear. The critical section for punching shear is taken at a section d/2 from face of the column, where d is the effective depth at solid head

61 Two-Way Joist Design Design for Beam Shear Beam shear is not usually a problem in slabs including waffle slabs. However for completion of design, beam shear may also be checked. Beam shear can cause problem in case where larger spans and heavier loads with relatively shallow waffle slabs are used. The critical section for beam shear is taken at a section d from face of the column, where d is the effective depth at solid head. For joist construction, contribution of concrete to shear strength V c shall be permitted to be 10 percent more than that specified in Chapter 11. If required, one or two single legged stirrups are provided in the rib to increase the shear capacity of waffle slab. 121 Some Important Points For layouts that do not meet the standard 2-feet and 3-feet modules, it is preferable that the required additional width be obtained by increasing the width of the ribs framing into the solid column head

62 Some Important Points The designer should sketch out the spacing for a typical panel and correlate with the column spacing as a part of the early planning. 123 Design the slab system of hall shown in figure as waffle slab, according to ACI 318. Use Direct Design Method for slab analysis. f c = 4 ksi f y = 60 ksi Live load = 100 psf

63 Solution: A building, divided into twelve (12) panels, supported at their ends on columns. Each panel is The given slab system satisfies all the necessary limitations for Direct Design Method to be applicable. 125 Step No 01: Sizes Columns Slab Let all columns be Adopt standard dome. Minimum equivalent flat slab thickness (h f ) can be found using ACI Table 9.5 (c): Exterior panel governs. Therefore, h f = l n /33 l n = 36 (2 18/2)/12 = 34.5 h f = (34.5/33) 12 =

64 Step No 01: Sizes Slab The closest depth of doom that will fulfill the requirement of equivalent thickness of flat slab equal to is 12 in. with a slab thickness of 4 ½ in. for a dome size of 30-in. Table: Waffle flat slabs (30" 30" voids at 3'-0")-Equivalent thickness Rib + Slab Depths (in.) Equivalent Thickness t e (in.) ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ Step No 01: Sizes Planning of Joist layout l = 36-0 = 432 Standard module = No. of modules in 36-0 : n = 432/36 = 12 Joist width = 6 Planning: First joist is placed on interior column centerline with progressive placing of other joists towards exterior ends of panel. To flush the last joist with external column, the width of exterior joist comes out to be 15 (6 +Column size /2) as shown in plan view

65 Step No 01: Sizes Solid Head Solid head dimension from column centerline = l/6 = 36/6 = 6 Total required length of solid head= 2 6 = 12 As 3 3 module is selected, therefore 4 voids including joist width will make an interior solid head of (Length of solid head = c/c distance between rib + rib width ) Depth of the solid head = Depth of standard module = = 16.5 c/c between ribs= 4x3 = 12 Rib width= 3+3 inches Total = = Step No 02: Loads Floor (joist) dead load (w dj ) = 109 psf = ksf Dome Size Table: Standard Dome Dimensions and other Data Dome Depth (in.)
