One Way Slab Design Example

The document provides an example of designing a one-way reinforced concrete slab with a span of 15 feet that is integrally built with its supports. It estimates the slab thickness, calculates loads, determines maximum moments, checks the effective depth, and calculates reinforcement requirements in accordance with ACI code provisions. Reinforcement is designed for flexure at interior supports, midspan, and exterior supports and for shrinkage and temperature requirements.

One Way Slab Design Example:

A reinforced concrete slab is built integrally with its supports and consists of equal span of 15 ft.
The service live load is 100 psf and 4000 psi concrete is specified for use with steel with a yield
stress equal to 60000 psi. Design the slab following the provisions of the ACI code.

Thickness Estimation:

For being both ends continuous minimum slab thickness = L/28 =(15 x 120)/28= 6.43 in.
Let a trial thickness of 6.50 in.

Load Calculation:

Consider only a 1 ft width of beam.

Dead load = 150 x (6.50/12)) = 81 psf

Live load = 100 psf

Factored DL and LL ={81+1.2+(100 x 1.6)} =257 psf

Determine Maximum Moments:

Factored moments at critical sections by ACI code :

At interior support : -M=1/9 x 0.257 x 152 = 6.43 k-ft

1
At midspan : +M=1/14 x 0.257 x 152 = 4.13 k-ft

At exterior support : -M=1/24 x 0.257 x 152 = 2.41 k-ft

Mmax = 6.43 k-ft

=0.85 x 0.85 x 4/60 x 0.003/(0.003+0.004)

= 0.021

Now,

= 2.64 in

Check For Availability Of Thickness:

As ‘d’ is less than the effective depth of (6.50-1.00) = 5.50 in, the thickness of 6.50 in can be
adopted.

Reinforcement Calculation:

Let, a = 1 inch

2
At interior support:

Checking the assumed depth of a by

Similarly at Midspan:

As = (4.13 x 12)/(0.90 x 60 x 5.29) = 0.17 in²

At Exterior support:

As = (2.41 x 12)/(0.90 x 60 x 5.29) = 0.10 in²

Minimum Reinforcement:

As = 0.0018 x 12 x 6.50 = 0.14 in²

So we have to provide this amount of reinforcement where As is less than 0.14 in².

Shrinkage Reinforcement:

Minimum reinforcement for shrinkage and temperature is

As = 0.0018 x 12 x 6.50 = 0.14 in²

Effect of water-cement ratio upon workability and strength of concrete

(From Notes)

Assignment No 2

Concrete Mix Design Example – M50 Grade Concrete

Data Given
Grade Designation = M-50

Type of cement = O.P.C-43 grade

Fine Aggregate = Zone-II

Sp. Gravity

Cement = 3.15

Fine Aggregate = 2.61

Coarse Aggregate (20mm) = 2.65

Coarse Aggregate (10mm) = 2.66

Minimum Cement (As per contract) =400 kg / m 3

Maximum water cement ratio (As per contract) = 0.45

Solution
Concrete Mix Design Calculation

1. Target Mean Strength = 50 + ( 5 X 1.65 ) = 58.25 Mpa

2. Selection of water cement ratio:

Assume water cement ratio = 0.35

8
3. Calculation of water content:

Approximate water content for 20mm max. Size of aggregate = 180 kg /m3 (As per Table No. 5 , IS : 10262 ). As

plasticizer is proposed we can reduce water content by 20%.

Now water content = 180 X 0.8 = 144 kg /m3

4. Calculation of cement content:

Water cement ratio = 0.35

Water content per m3 of concrete = 144 kg

Cement content = 144/0.35 = 411.4 kg / m3

Say cement content = 412 kg / m3 (As per contract Minimum cement content 400 kg / m3 )

Hence O.K.

5. Calculation of Sand & Coarse Aggregate Quantities:

 Volume of concrete = 1 m3

Volume of cement = 412 / ( 3.15 X 1000 ) = 0.1308 m3

Volume of water = 144 / ( 1 X 1000 ) = 0.1440 m3

Volume of Admixture = 4.994 / (1.145 X 1000 ) = 0.0043 m3

Total weight of other materials except coarse aggregate = 0.1308 + 0.1440 +0.0043 = 0.2791 m3

 Volume of coarse and fine aggregate = 1 – 0.2791 = 0.7209 m3

Volume of F.A. = 0.7209 X 0.33 = 0.2379 m3 (Assuming 33% by volume of total aggregate )

 Volume of C.A. = 0.7209 – 0.2379 = 0.4830 m3

 Therefore weight of F.A. = 0.2379 X 2.61 X 1000 = 620.919 kg/ m3

 Say weight of F.A. = 621 kg/ m3

 Therefore weight of C.A. = 0.4830 X 2.655 X 1000 = 1282.365 kg/ m3

 Say weight of C.A. = 1284 kg/ m3

 Considering 20 mm: 10mm = 0.55: 0.45

20mm = 706 kg .

10mm = 578 kg .

9
Hence Mix details per m3

Increasing cement, water, admixture by 2.5% for this trial

 Cement = 412 X 1.025 = 422 kg

Water = 144 X 1.025 = 147.6 kg

Fine aggregate = 621 kg

Coarse aggregate 20 mm = 706 kg

Coarse aggregate 10 mm = 578 kg

Admixture = 1.2 % by weight of cement = 5.064 kg.

 Water: cement: F.A.: C.A. = 0.35: 1: 1.472: 3.043
