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...

What are TOF, SSL, & TOS in Tekla structural designer ?

  Tekla structural designer (TSD) is a simple, integrated design & analysis software that gives engineers the power to analyze and design buildings efficiently and profitably. Pile foundation as two parts likely pile cap and pile, here in TSD we can design the pile cap but not the pile. TOF (Top of foundation), TOS (Top of steel), SSL (Structural slab level) are the terms in TSD software which are used while creating levels. Refer the below steps we will know about TOF , SSL & TOS  : Step 1 Go to TSD software and click on construction levels, under that section you will come across the type of level being designed, likely TOF, TOS, & SSL.     TOF: Top of foundation is a level which is helpful for placing foundation, plinth level and helps in excavation work identification also. TOS: Top of steel (level) takes a major part while you are working with the steel structures, composite structures or else steel structure completely, so in these cases you can mak...

Difference Between Tekla Structures and Tekla Structural Designer

  NTRODUCTION: Tekla Structures and Tekla Structural Designer both are Software Developed by Trimble, some of the major differences between the two software are as Follows. 1. USAGE: The following are the primary differences between the two software based on their usage and the final product generated. TEKLA STRUCTURAL DESIGNER (TSD) is a  Structural Analysis & Design Software, it is used for structural analysis and design of all structural members after the application of loads (Eg. Live Load, Dead Load, Wind Load, Seismic Load etc.) as per the standard code provisions, varying with the location of construction of building. TEKLA STRUCTURES (TS) is a   Structural Detailing & Building Information Modelling (BIM) Software, it can be used for creating detailed model after we have the Structural design results. After finishing the BIM Model, a section can be cut from any Plane to generate Good For Construction Drawings (GEC) with detailing of rebar specifying the...
