TOPIC
Design of Waffle Slab
 PROBLEM
 
Design a waffle floor system that consists of square panels without
beams considering the following data (Shown in Fig.A):
Span, center to center of columns = 33 ft.
Column size = 20 × 20 in.
Dead load(excluding self-weight) = 50 psf
Live load = 100 psf

Fig. A (a) Plan of the waffle slab
 SOLUTION
• STEP NO.1: DETERMINE MINIMUM SLAB THICKNESS USING TABLE 1:
Minimum ,
Where ,
 in.for exterior panels, and
 in. for interior panels

 SOLUTION
STEP NO.1(CONTINUE):
 Assume the total depth is 17 in. consisting of 3 in. slab thickness and 14-in. rib depth
spaced at 36-in.

 STEP NO.2: CALCULATE LOADS ON THE WAFFLE SLAB
•  a. Factored load of solid head part psf

• b. Voided volume of 14-in. rib on 3 × 3 - area.

Total weight of area is lb.
Weight per square foot is psf.

• c. Factored additional dead plus live load is 1.2(50) + 1.6(100) = 220 psf.
Uniform at solid (head) = 255 + 220 ≈ 500 psf = 0.5 ksf.
Uniform (at ribbed area) = 125 + 220 = 345 psf = 0.345 ksf.

• d. Loads on one panel (refer to Fig. A. (d)):

At the solid head, = 0.5(12) + 0.345(21) = 13.22 K/ft.
At the ribbed area, = 0.345(33) = 11.39 K/ft.

STEP NO.3: CALCULATE SHEAR AND TOTAL STATIC MOMENT:
••  (at face of column) K
• (at midspan) K⋅ft

Fig. B (b) shear force diagram, and (c) bending moment diagram
STEP NO.4: CHECK PUNCHING SHEAR (REFER TO FIGURE BELOW):
•   In the solid head at from the column face,
a.
• h = 17 in.,
• in., = 4(c + d)
• c (column) = 20 in., = 4(20 + 15.75) = 143 in.,
• =11.39(21ft)+13.22(12ft)=393.4 K and

10
•b.  In the slab at distance from the edge of the
solid head,
slab thickness is 3 in;
let d = 2.15 in.
Then
= 4(150 + 2.5) = 610 in.,
= 11.39(21) + 13.22(12) 317.4 K

STEP NO.5: DESIGN MOMENTS AND REINFORCEMENT
••  a. Exterior panel: = 1424 K ⋅ ft

• Exterior negative moment = 0.26 = -370 K ⋅ ft

• Positive moment = 0.52 = +740 K ⋅ ft
• Interior negative moment = 0.7 = -997 K ⋅ ft
• b. Interior panel: = 1424 K ⋅ ft
• Negative moment = 0.65(1424) = -925.6 K ⋅ ft
• Positive moment = 0.35(1424) = 498.4 K ⋅ ft
• Design details are shown in Table 2. and Fig. 4. Note that all steel ratios are
low
