both direction
Critical Section
Minimum thickness- l/28 = 4.3”
Correction factor when using
light weight concrete : 1.65 – 0.005w >= 1.09
Minimum thickness – 4.6”
One-Way Slab
Chosen thickness- 7.5”
Load Combination:
1.2 w(d) + 1.6 w(l) = 271.45 psf
Maximum moment based on moment coefficients and clear span
Mu As reinforcement
# 4 bar at 15” o.c. (min reinforcement for temp. & shrinkage) (transverse direction)

IF(input,output_if_true,output_if_false), OR(input_1,input_2,...)
Strength reduction factor φ=IF(εc>0.005,0.9,IF(εc<0.002,0.65,0.65+(εc-0.002)*250/3))
MAX(input_1,input_2,...), MIN(input_1,input_2,...)
Used in combination
Maximum transverse-reinforcement spacing smax=MIN(d/2,24,ph/8,12)*IF(VS>4*√(fc')*b*d,0.5,1)
Solver
Number minimized: Total materials, weighted by tensile strength
Adding 1 in3 of 60-k/in2 steel = adding 15 in3 of 4-k/in2 concrete
First, use “Ignore integer constraints” checkbox to reach optimal solution without encountering
errors
Integers: Base, height, 2 × transverse-reinforcement spacing

2 rows of #8 rebar @ 18” O.C. & 2 #8 bar @ 4”
O.C for support at the corners
Horizontal Reinforcement
