Verification Example - RC One-Way Slab Design

Description

This verification example represents the analysis and design of a reinforced concrete one-way slab utilizing Tekla Tedds. This example is based on the One-way Slab Example 1 of the ACI Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook, A Companion to ACI 318-19, Volume 1: Member Design (Pages 46 through 57). Comparisons and contrasts are tabularized and discussed regarding the results from Tedds and the ACI Design Example.

Problem statement

Design the reinforced concrete one-way slab shown in Figure E1.1 of the ACI Design Example. See Figure E1.7 of the ACI Design Example for designed slab reinforcement.

Example information

Concrete:

γconcrete = 150 lb/ft3

f’c = 5.0 ksi

fy = 60 ksi

 

Uniform Loads:

Live load, L = 100 psf (assembly load, non-reducible)

Miscellaneous dead load = 15 psf (HVAC systems, ceilings, etc.)

 

Column dimensions: 24” x 24”

Beam dimensions: 18” wide

Slab thickness: 7” (both at cantilever and main span)

Slab span: 14’ at main span and 6’ at cantilever

 

Concrete cover to reinforcement:

Top clear cover: ¾”

Bottom clear cover: ¾”

Notes and assumptions

  • Analysis using live load patterning was utilized in the design example per ASCE 7 to determine maximum shears and moments.
  • The slab does not contain drop panels
  • Lateral loads are resisted by shear walls and moment-resisting frames. The slab is assumed to be braced and any moment effects in the slab caused by lateral loads are ignored.
  • Diaphragm design is not considered in this example.
  • Governing load combination for slab design: 1.2D + 1.6L
  • Negative design moments are taken at the face of the support.
  • Shear and moment values were determined in the ACI design example utilizing a software program performing a first-order analysis. Further information regarding the analysis approach can be found in the ACI design example.

Comparison Notes

aIn order to not require deflection checks, the thickness of a cantilevered slab needs to be greater than L/10 per ACI 318-19 Table 7.3.1.1. For this example, the slab at the cantilever should be a minimum of 7.2” thick, which Tedds accurately shows. However, in the ACI design example, 7.2” is calculated, but a thickness of 7” is used.

bThe Tedds calculation determines the required top reinforcement for the cantilever span, while the ACI example uses the main span top reinforcement as the same top reinforcement for the cantilever span.

cThe ACI Design Example incorrectly shows shrinkage and temperature steel as #4 @ 18” o.c., when the calculations within the design example accurately calculates #5 @ 18” o.c. is required. Tedds accurately determines the required shrinkage and temperature reinforcement.

Conclusion

Upon reviewing the results above, the design of the reinforced concrete one-way slab within Tedds matches the ACI Design Example 1 (apart from errors and engineering judgement found within the ACI example).
