A flat slab is supported by 18"x18" columns spaced at 26 ft in both directions. The slab is 10" and has a concrete strength, F'c = 5000 psi and reinforcement having a yield strength Fy = 60,000 psi. The slab is subjected to a factored load qu = 260 psf (including self weight of the slab). Determine the following: a) The width of the column strip and middle strip b) The design moment for the column strip at the typical interior bay at the column and at midspan c) Check punching at a typical interior column. The total moment transferred to the column is 50 k- ft.

Question
A flat slab is supported by 18"x18" columns spaced at 26 ft in both directions. The slab is 10" and has a
concrete strength, F'c = 5000 psi and reinforcement having a yield strength Fy = 60,000 psi. The slab is
subjected to a factored load qu = 260 psf (including self weight of the slab).
Determine the following:
a) The width of the column strip and middle strip
b) The design moment for the column strip at the typical interior bay at the column and at midspan
c) Check punching at a typical interior column. The total moment transferred to the column is 50 k-
ft.
