A simple supported one-way slab spans 24 ft. In addition to its own weight, it supports
an uniformly distributed service live load of 100 psf. A masonry wall, which has a
service dead load of 1500 lb/ft, is also supported by the slab along with an uniform
service floor live load (a line load) of 500 lb/ft loaded as shown below in the figure.
(a)
(b)
Select the depth of the slab using ACI Code's minimum thickness requirements
where deflections are not computed. Design the primary steel and temperature
steel and show your results in a sketch. The concrete is light-weight concrete and
has a unit weight of 110 lb/ft³. Assume 3/4 inch cover on the reinforcement aand
that f' 3 ksi and f₁ = 60 ksi. Use #6 bars for the primary steel and #4 bars
for the shrinkage and temperature steel. Assume interior exposure, and use
ACI 318-19.
Repeat part (a) NOT using the ACI Code's minimum thickness requirements for
cases where deflections are not computed. Use #6 bars for the primary steel
and #4 bars…
