“ANALYSIS AND APPLICATION OF ONE-WAY SLAB”
Problem No.1: Determine the slab thickness of the one-way slab floor system
where the exterior and interior span lengths center-to-center of the beams are
3.2 m and 3.6 m respectively. Grade 40 rebars (fy=276 Mpa) are to be used for
this prismatic slab. The beam widths are typical at 300 mm. Roundup to the
nearest 5 mm.
REQUIRED ANSWER
a) Determine the slab thickness of the one-way slab floor
system
Problem No.2: Determine the slab thickness of a prismatic one-way slab floor
system where the supporting beams center-to-center span lengths of the exterior
and interior slabs are 3.8 m and 4.3 m, respectively. Use Grade 60 rebars (fy=
414 Mpa) and typical beam widths of 250mm. Roundup to the nearest 10 mm.
REQUIRED ANSWER
a) Determine the slab thickness of the one-way slab floor
system
Problem No.3: Determine the design moments of a two-span, one-way slab shown
