Basic Formula:

Young Modulus (E):

EC =0.043Wc 1.5 f ' c

Wc = 2320 kg/m3 (Plain Concrete)

Wc = 2400 kg/m3 (Reinforced Concrete)

Poisson Ratio = 0.2 (concrete)

Shear Modulus (G):

Ec
G=
2(1+v )

For Reinforced Concrete which has a steel or reinforcement percentages

between 0.7%-1.5% has density =2400 kg/m3
For Reinforced Concrete which has a steel or reinforcement percentages greater
2500 kg
than 1.5% has density =
m3
Resistance sample of cylindrical is much stronger than those of cubical.
Theoretically, Cylindrical sample is 0.85 times stronger than cubical.
(fc=0.85fc)

Loading Calculations:
1. Uniformly distributed force from slab to beam:

Generally speaking, there are two types of slabs; one way and two way slabs.
For the slabs which has the ratio of the longer span panel greater or equal to 2, it is
called one way slab; otherwise 2 way slabs.

Example1: Load Distribution in one way slab:

Consider the floor plan shown in Figure 1.1(a) where two one-way spanning
slabs are supported on three beams AB, CD and EF. Both slabs are assumed to be
carrying a uniformly distributed design load of 5 KN /m2 .

1.1
Beam AB: Total load = (floor area supported magnitude of
distributed load/m2)
= (2.5 8.0) (5.0) = 100 kN
Beam CD: Total load = (4.0 8.0) (5.0) = 160 kN
Beam CD: Total load = (4.0 8.0) (5.0) = 160 kN

Example2: Load Distribution in two way slab:

Consider the same floor plan as in Example 1.1 but now with the floor slabs two-
way spanning, as shown in Figure 1.2(a). Since both slabs are two-way spanning, their
loads are distributed to supporting beams on all four sides assuming a 45o dispersion
as indicated in Figure 1.2(b).

In order to determine load that are being transferred from slabs to beams, we
have to first determine the slab thickness.

Minimum slab thickness: hmin = y x (Eq. 1.1)

Ly: The longest Length
Lx: The shortest Length
F: Constant value ranging from 150 to 200

Eq. 1.1 can be rewritten as: hmin = =
F 180

Ex:
Assume we have the L y =5.5 m and Lx =4.2 m ,
determine hmin ?

550+420
hmin = =107.778 mm

Therefore:
h s=120 mm
