Design of one-way slab
At point of intersection (P) the deflection must be the same
For purposes of analysis and design a unit strip of such a slab cut out at right angles to the
supporting beam may be considered as a rectangular beam of unit width (1.0 m) with a depth (h)
equal to the thickness of the slab and a span (La) equal to the distance between supported edges.
DESIGN OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES AND FUNDAMENTAL ASSUMPTIONS
| Unknowns which determined in design process: Design is the determination of the general shape and specific dimensions. |
Materials
• The structures and component members treated in this course are composed of:
o Concrete,
o Reinforcing steel bars,
• An understanding of the materials characteristics and behavior under load is fundamental to
understanding the performance of structural concrete, and to safe, economical, and
