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.

Question

Assignment 2: Slab Design
Perform structural design of the simply supported reinforced concrete slab shown in the floor plan.
The slab must be able to carry its own weight and a live load of 100 psf. The slab thickness should
satisfy the ACI stipulations for minimum thickness. Concrete compressive strength f'c = 4,000 psi
and yield strength of reinforcing bars fy = 60,000 psi. The slab is neither exposed to weather nor
in contact with the ground, meaning it is subjected to interior exposure.
