Design of One-Way Slab Part-2: Calculating the aspect ratio of effective spans

Given that we understand all the modification factors. Let’s learn how to calculate the aspect ratio. If you have not read my previous blog on how to determine the effective depth of one way slab please go through that one. 

For Basic Values for span < 10m

Cantilever = 7

Simple Supported = 20

Continuous = 26

For Basic Value for span >10m

Cantilever = (7*10)/span length

Simple Supported = (20*10)/span length

Continuous = (26*10)/span length

CALCULATIONS 1

Our Slab rested on one simply supported and continuous at other side

So,

  Basic Value = (20+26)/2 = 23

  K1 = 1

  K2 = 1.4

  K3 = 1

  K4 = 1

   => l/d < 1*1.4*1*1*23

   => 3400/d < 32.2

   => d > 3400/32.3

   => d = 105.6


Step 3 : To Calculate Overall Depth 

Overall Depth > Eff. Depth + (Dia of bar/2) + Nominal Cover

CALCULATION 2

Assume 12mm Dia Bar

Nominal Cover = 30mm For Moderate Exposure

(Ref Table 16, Page 47, IS456)

Overall Depth > 105.6 + 12/2 + 30

      > 141.6

      = 150mm (multiple of 5mm)

Now,

    Effective Depth , d =150-12/2-30

=114mm


Step 4 : To Calculate Effective Span

From Clause 22.2(a), Page-34, IS456 2000 

Minimum of ..

a) Clear Span + Eff. Depth of slab

b) Centre to Centre of Supports

CALCULATION 3

a) Clear Span + Eff. Depth of slab

  =3400 + 114 = 3514mm

b) Centre to Centre of Supports

  =230/2 + 3400 + 300/2 = 3665mm

  For shorter effective span, we get = 3514 mm

   Longer Effective span =230/2 + 9000 + 230/2 = 9230 mm

  Now,

    Check Aspect Ratio = longer effective span/shorter effective span

      = 9230/3214

      = 2.626 > 2

So We can say , It's a one way slab .

Tekla structural Designer VS ETABS.

Tekla Structural Designer is advanced software used for Structural Analysis and Design of a Building. In Tekla, we can do the detailing of steel structures as well as RCC structures. We can create RCC buildings and we can insert the rebars in Tekla structures Designer software.  We can also do the form works and structural drawing without the help of any other software. Let’s see the difference between TSD and ETABS. Step 1 As per the modelling aspects in ETABS we can import the grid lines we cannot import the shadow of an architectural drawing and in Tekla, we can import grid lines as well as the shadow of an architectural drawing assigning beams and columns is very easy and the modelling becomes quick.  In ETABS we cannot see the extruded view easily but in TSD we can see the extruded view easily. Basically, visualization is easy in TSD as compared to ETABS.   Step 2 In TSD load application is very easy as the dead load and live load both are almost same but in the wind...

STAAD Pro Vs Tekla Structural Designer .Which One Is Better ?

  Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) is a simple, integrated design & analysis software that enables engineers to deliver safe, effective and rationalized design more quickly, regardless of structural material. Reinforcement drawings for the entire building or tonnes of steel for estimating and many more.    So in the above image you can see the first image is created in Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) and in the second image the model has been created in Staad Pro  . we can start the comparison with the grid lines. So for creating grid lines in staad we need to enter the coordinates from the beam column plan as shown in fig.1 and we need to insert it while viewing the beam column plan. Fig 1 We can create grid lines in Tekla Structural Designer directly and in addition        you can also import the beam column plan as shadow as shown in fig 2 .  Fig. 2 • Next step is adding members in staad pro so in addition we need to see the beam colu...

How to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams which have been generated in TSD.

Tekla Structural Designer is advanced software used for Structural Analysis and Design of a Building. In Tekla, we can do the detailing of steel structures as well as RCC structures. We can create RCC buildings and we can insert the rebars in Tekla structures Designer software.  We can also do the form works and structural drawing without the help of any other software. Let’s go step by step to learn how to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams that have been generated in TSD. Step 1 As we can see, this building has been fully designed and analysed. Now, just right click on the beam then click on the report for the member and it will generate the report for the member and we will see this and after that, we can also check the file for the particular beam.     Fig.1 Step 2 Now we have 3 numbers of sections, for each beam, it has been made and the respective cross-section is also given. Step 3 Now if we just go through the drawing, we can see that we have 2 ba...
