ONE WAY SLABS (NSCP 2015 SECTION 407)

Minimum Thickness based on SHEAR:

Without shear reinforcement, concrete must fully sustain the shear stresses experienced.

𝑽𝒖 = ∅ 𝑽𝒏 = ∅ 𝑽𝒄 + 𝑽𝒔 ; 𝑽𝒔 = 𝟎 Set 𝑉/ = ∅ 𝑉0 = ∅ 𝑉1

ALTERNATE METHOD FOR ANALYSIS : ACI MOMENT AND SHEAR COEFFICIENTS

Approximate moments and shears for continuous

beams and one way slabs provided that: 𝑴 𝒖 = 𝑪 𝒘 𝒖 𝒍 𝟐𝒏 𝑽𝒖 = 𝑪𝒘𝒖𝒍𝒏

where: C = coefficient
ü There are 2 or more spans
wu = uniform load (ultimate)
ü Loads are uniformly distributed ln = clear span (between faces of support)

ü Members are prismatic

Locations:
ü Unfactored live load does not exceed three (3) times
