working loads.
Working stress design is based on just such a stress distribution, on the grounds that elastic
stress limits are not exceeded at working loads.
By working-stress methods, allowable stresses are established as some fraction of the stress
capacities of the materials i.e. the yield strength of the steel and the cylinder strength of the
concrete.
Members are proportioned so that these allowable stresses are not exceeded when working
loads are applied.
Working load is defined as the sum of the actual dead load of the structure and an estimate of
the maximum live load, which will be superimposed at some time during its life.
This method focuses on the strength capacity of the member at conditions corresponding
to failure and is known as ultimate-strength design. This design is based on the nonlinear
compressive- stress variation, which is obtained before a member fails.
USD method, base the design of members on conditions just before failure. Members are
proportioned so that the lull strength of the cross-section is just utilized when the ultimate load is
applied.
The ultimate load is obtained by multiplying the actual dead load and the anticipated live load
by separate overload factors greater than unit.

Types of slab:
According to distribution of load along side, slabs are of two types –
1 . On e w ay slab
2 . T w o w ay slab
There are other types of slabs, such as flat plate slab, flat stab, folded plate slab, reinforced
brick slab, ribbed slab, hollow slab etc.
2. Condition:
Lb/La > 2 2
7. Depth check:
𝐌
dreq = √𝐑𝐛 [ b = 12 inch]
d = t- 1
If, d> dreq. Hence; depth is ok.
[If, d<dreq. Change slab thickness and repeat from step (4) to (7)]
8. Steel calculation:
𝐌
As = ( )
𝐟𝐬𝐣𝐝
As m i n = 0.0025bt
If As< As m i n then As = As m i n
9. Distribution steel:
As = 0.002bt

5. Load calculation:
DL = Dead load (including self-weight)
LL = Live load
Total load, W = 1.4 x (DL+ SW) + 1.7 x LL
6. Moment calculation:
Moment from ACI code moment co-efficient
M = C x W x La2
C = ACI code moment co- efficient.
