Analysis of loads
• Dead Load (DL)
- Permanent loads.
- Weight of the structure (R.C unit weight= 25KN/m^3.
- Weight of fixed attachments.
• Live loads (LL)
- Due to intended occupancy.
- Snow, ice, rain, etc
- Earth and hydrostatic pressure.
- Lateral loads due to wind and earthquakes.

• 3rd floor column: (No live load)

- Snow load=18*4=72 KN
- Dead load=18*10= 180 KN
Total= 252 KN

• 2nd floor column:

- Live load= 18*5= 90 KN
- Dead load= 18*10=180 KN
Total= 252+90+180= 522 KN

• 1st floor column:

- Total= 522+90+180=792 KN

• Ground floor column:

Total= 792+90+180= 1062 KN

Chapter Two: One way joist slab system

Lecturer: Rakan Al-Alwan

Slab types
1. One-Way Slabs on Beams
One-way slabs on beams are most suitable for
spans of 3-6m, and a live load of 3 to 5KN/m2.

RC2 RAKAN ALALWAN

2. One-way joist slab (Ribbed slab)

A one-way joist concrete slab is suitable for
spans of 6-9m and live loads of 4-6KN/m2.

RC2 RAKAN ALALWAN

3. Waffle Slab (Grid slab)

Grid slabs are suitable for spans of 9-15m and
live loads of 4-7KN/m2. Formwork, including
the use of pans, is quite expensive.

ACI code Recommendations

ACI 8.13.1: Joist construction consists of a
monolithic combination of regularly spaced
ribs and a top slab arranged to span in one
direction or two orthogonal directions.

Minimum Slab System Depth

Based on deflection control. use table 9.5(a) in
the ACI code to check minimum thickness
required.

Distribution Rib (Cross Rib)

Distribution Ribs
• Placed perpendicular to joists
• Spans < 6.0 m: Use None
• Spans 6.0-9.0 m: Provided at midspan
• Spans > 9.0 m: Provided at third- points
• At least one continuous 12 bar is provided at
top and bottom of distribution rib.
• Note: not required by ACI Code, but typically
used in construction

Dead Load Calculations

• Permanent loads such as fixed

• machines or furniture

• Weight of the structural elements (R.C. unit

weight = 25 kN/m3)

• Weight of fixed attachments such as tiles,

mortar, false ceiling …etc.

Load calculations

Load calculations

Cases of Loading (Pattern Loads)

• Using influence lines to determine pattern
loads
• Largest moments in a continuous beam or
frame occur when some spans are loaded and
others are not.
• Influence lines are used to determine which
spans to load and which spans not to load.
