1a. Design a simply-supported one-way slab to carry a uniformly distributed live load of 600 psf and its self-weight. The span is 12 ft-long (from center-to-center of the supports). Use concrete with a compressive strength of 4,000 psi and Grade 60 steel bars. 1b. Re-design the slab of Problem 1 assuming the length of the slab is 4 ft. Comment on how the length affects your design. 1c. Re-design the slab of Problem 1 assuming fixed boundary conditions at one end and no support at the other end. Comment on how the boundary conditions affect your design.

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
