DESIGN OF FLAT SLAB BY DDM
Fig 1: Flat Slab Design.
Problem:
A flat slab floor with a total area of 12500 sq. ft. is divided into 25 panels with a panel size of 25’ x 20’. f c′ = 4000 psi f y = 60000 psi Service Live Load = 120 psf Slab Thickness = 7.5” Storey Height = 10’ Solution: 1. Calculation of Factored Load
Slab Thickness = 7.5” Neglecting the weight of the drop panel, the service dead load is, DL = (7.5/12) x 150 = 94 psf LL = 120 psf Total factored load, W = 1.4 DL + 1.7 LL

3. Relative Stiffness, α
Since there is no edge beam, α = 0 for all. 4. Check for Slab Thickness

a. For interior panel: For α = 0 and f y = 60 ksi and clear span, ln = (25-4.43) = 20.57’ tmin = ln /36 /36 = (20.57*12)/36 = 6.86” < 7.5” b. For ext exteri erior or panel: panel:
For α = 0 and f y = 60 ksi and clear span, ln = (25-4.43) = 20.57’ tmin = ln /33 /33 = (20.57*12)/33 = 7.48” < 7.5” So, given thickness of slab =7.5” (OK) c. Thickn Thickness ess of drop drop panel: panel:
Thickness of drop panel = thickness of slab + ¼ the projection of the drop panel beyond the column capital = 7.5 + ¼(18) = 12”

2. Panels Panels shall be rectangular rectangular,, with a ratio of longer to shorter shorter span center-to-center of supports within a panel not greater than 2. Here panels are rectangular and the ratio of longer (25’) to shorter s horter (20’) span c/c of supports is (25/20)=1.25<2.0 3. Succ Succes essiv sive e span span leng length ths s cent center er-t -too-ce cent nter er of supp support orts s in each each direction shall not differ by more than one-third the longer span. One-third of longer span is (1/3 x 25) =8.33’ In both directions, span lengths are equal. 4. Offs Offset et of colu column mns s by a maxim maximum um of 10 perce percent nt of the the span span (in dire direct ctio ion n of offs offset et)) from from eith either er axis axis betw betwee een n cent center erli line nes s of successive columns shall be permitted. In longitudinal direction, 10% of the longer span is (25x12) x 10% = 30” and column width in this direction is 18”, which is less than 30”.
In transverse direction, 10% of the shorter span is (20x12) x 10% = 24” and column width in this direction is 18”, which is less than 24”. 5. All loads shall shall be due to gravity gravity only and uniform uniformly ly distribu distributed ted over an entire panel. Live load shall not exceed two times dead load. Service LL = 120 psf and service DL = 94 psf LL/DL = (120/94) = 1.277<2.0
6. The relative stiffness ratio of ( l 12/α1) to (l 22/α2) must lie between 0.2 and 5.0 where α is the ratio of the flexural stiffness of the included beam to that of the slab. Sinc Since, e, ther there e is no beam beam used, used, this this limi limita tati tion on is not not requ require ired d for for this this problem. This problem satisfies all the limitations imposed by ACI 13.6.1 for using DDM.
