AHSANULLAH UNIVERSITY OFSCIENCE & TECHNOLOGYDEPT. OF CIVIL ENGINEERING What is two way Slab?When the ratio of long span to short span is less than 2, then the slab is known as a slab spanning in two directions or two-way slab.

Types of Two-way Slabs:

FLAT PLATE WAFFLE SLABFLAT PLATEWAFFLE SLABBASIC STEPS OF TWO WAY SLAB DESIGN :

1. Choose layout and type of slab. Type of slab is strongly affected by architectural and construction considerations.2. Choose slab thickness to control deflection. Also, check if thickness is adequate for shear.3. Choose design method.Equivalent frame method- use elastic frame analysis to compute positive and negative moments.Direct design method - uses coefficients to compute positive and negative slab moments4. Calculate positive and negative moments in the slab.5. Determine distribution of moments across the width of the slab. Based on geometry and beam stiffness.6. Assign a portion of moment to beams, if present.7. Design reinforcement for moments from steps 5 and 6. Steps 3-7 need to be done for both principal directions.8. Check shear strengths at the columns.

DETERMINE MEXIMUM BENDING MOMENT :

Ws=WS/3 For Short Span.Wl=wS/3x(3-m2/2) For Long Span. To determine the maximum moment in the supporting beams, we use the uniform load per foot of beam.

Slab Reinforcement of 2 way Slab:

Reinforcement Details LoadsAfter all percentages of the static moments in the column and middle strip are determined, the steel reinforcement can be calculated for negative and positive moments in each strip.Maximum Spacing of ReinforcementAt points of max. +/- M: s2t (ACI 13.3.2) and s45cm (ACI 7.12.3)Spacing of Reinforcement at critical section shall not exceed two times the slab thickness except for portions of slab area of ribbed Construction.

Min Reinforcement Requirements

Area of reinforcement in each direction for two way slab systems shall be determined from moments at critical sections .But shall not be less than required by shrinkage and temperature reinforcement.Methods of Design:1. Direct Design Methods (DDM):

Limited to slab systems with uniformly distributed loads and supported on equally spaced columns. Method uses a set of Co-efficents to determine the design moments in critical sections. Two- way slab systems do not meet the limitations of the ACI code 13.6.1 must be analyze causing more accurate procedures.

2. Equivalent Frame Methods( EFM):

A three dimensional building is divided in to a series of two dimensional frames by cutting the buildings alone lines midway between columns. The resulting frames are considered separately in the longitudinal and transverse direction of the building and treated floor by floor.

Thickness of two way slabs

Conclusion:

In the case of two-way slab it has been found in practice that a huge moment develops at the support i.e. at the support negative moment is huge. In this case steel must be provided to withstand this moment. In most of the cases extra top bars are provided. Thank you very much
