Design of two way floor system for
flat plate slab
Given data [Problem-1]
Figure-1 shows a flat plate floor with a total area of 4500 sq ft. It is
divided into 25 panels with a panel size of 1512 ft. Concrete
strength is fc 4000 psi and steel yield strength is fy= 50,000
psi. Service live load is 60 psf. Story height is 9 ft. All columns
are rectangular, 12 in. in the long direction and 10 in. in the
short direction. Preliminary slab thickness is set at 5.5 in. No
edge beams are used along the exterior edges of the floor.
Compute the total factored static moment in the long and short
directions of a typical panel in the flat plate design as shown in
Fig.-1.

Using the same dimensions as above but changing the live load to
200 psf, investigate the shear strength for wide-beam and two-
way actions around an interior column. If the required nominal
shear strength Vn for two-way action is between that permitted by
Eq.21,22&23(DDM) and 6 fc bo d , determine the Av/s requirement
for shear reinforcement at the peripheral critical section and show
the nominal shear stress (which is factored shear Vu divided by
bod) variation from the critical section to the panel centerline. Use
fc 4000 psi
and fy = 50,000 psi; assume #5 slab reinforcement.

Given data [Problem-8]
Design the shear head reinforcement for the two way shear action
for problem-7.
(a) Two way action.
Since the maximum nominal shear stress Vn=Vu/bod of 368 psi is
between 4 fc 253 psi and the maximum of 7 fc 442 psi
when a shear head is used, shearhead reinforcement for
the interior column (having no moment transfer to column)
is permitted to be designed according to ACI.
(b) Length of spearhead.
The length of should be such that the nominal shear stress is less
than 4 fc computed around a periphery passing through points
3 c1
at v
L from but not closer than d/2 to the column faces.
4 2
Assuming a a square as critical periphery since the spearhead is to
have four identical arms (ACI), the required bo (ft) may be
computed from Fig.8 , thus.

Assume a S3 5.7 section for the shear head placed as shown as
shown in Fig.9. The S3 5.7 is the shallowest available rolled
steel I- or channel-shaped section. With ¾ in. cover at the top
face of slab and #5 bars for top reinforcement in two orthogonal
1
directions, average d will be 4 in., but the cover to the
8
compression face (bottom) of the rolled shaped will be only ½ in.
Fig.-9
Even ¾ in. cover at the compression face would require that all
bottom slab steel be cut short. If the ½ in. cover over the rolled
shape is not deemed adequate, either a thicker slab must be
used or shallower shearhead fabricated (welded) from three
plates would have to be used.

As shown by fig.10 this moment is to be carried in a slab width
(ACI) equal to the column width plus three times the slab
thickness, that is 26.5 in. From table-2 and Fig.2 (Frame A) the
total moment in the 72 in. wide column strip is

strip, additional reinforcement is need in the 26.5 in. width for

strip is

Additional reinforcement is needed to take (28.0-23.0) = 5.0 ft-kips
within the 26.5 in. width unless 28.0/62.4 = 44.9% of the total
column strip reinforcement is concentrated in the 26.5 in. width.
