DEFINITION:

a. Supported on two opposite sides only, which bending is in one

direction only—that is, perpendicular to the supported edges.
b. Supported on all four sides, but the long side is two or more times as
long as the short side, the slab will, for all practical purposes, act as a
one-way slab, with bending primarily occurring in the short direction

❖ The thickness required for a particular one-way slab depends on the

bending, the deflection, and shear requirements. As described in Section
provides certain span/depth limitations for concrete flexural members
where deflections are not calculated.

➢ Slab thicknesses are usually

rounded off to the nearest ;

6.2𝑚𝑚 𝑓𝑜𝑟 ∶ ℎ ≤ 150 𝑚𝑚

12.5𝑚𝑚 𝑓𝑜𝑟 ∶ ℎ > 150 𝑚𝑚

𝝆𝒕

❖ The code states that shrinkage and temperature reinforcement must be

provided in a direction perpendicular to the main reinforcement for one-way
slabs.

a) The code states that for Grade 275 deformed bars, the minimum
percentage of this steel is 0.002 times the gross cross-sectional area
of the slab.

b) The code states that shrinkage and temperature reinforcement may

not be spaced farther apart than five times the slab thickness, or 450
mm.

c) When Grade 415 deformed bars or welded wire fabric is used, the
minimum area is 0.0018bh.

d) For slabs with fy >415 Mpa (Grade 60) measured at yield strain of
0.35% , the minimum value is (0.0018 × Grade60)/fy.

Example Problem 10:

A one way slab having a simple span of 3m is 160 mm thick. The slab is
reinforced with 12mm diameter tension bars ( fy= 275 Mpa) space 140
mm on center both ways. Use fc’= 20.70 MPa, Yc= 23. kN/m³.

1. Compute the area of the tension bar in mm²

2. Calculate the uniform live load pressure that the slab can carry.

❖ Recommended Design Step for the Design of One- Way Slab

a) Determine the uniform floor pressure (LL and DL)

b) Determine the minimum slab thickness “h” from the table 407.3.1.1
c) Assume 1m Strip of Slab
d) Compute the weight of the slab
e) Calculate the factored moment (Mu) to be carried by the slab
f) Compute the effective depth, d ( d= h-covering (2omm)- 0.5 main bar
diameter
g) Compute the steel ratio, 𝜌𝑏 , 𝜌, 𝜌𝑚𝑎𝑥 , 𝜌𝑚𝑖𝑛 and compare
h) Compute the required main bar spacing, mm
i) Compute the required temperature bar spacing, mm

Example Problem 11:

Design a one-way slab having a simple span of 3 m. The

slab is to carry a uniform live loads of 7.15 kPa.

Use:
fy= 276 Mpa ( for tension and temperature bar)
fc’= 27.6 Mpa
Yc= 23.5 kN/m³ ( Note: Normal weight range from 22- 24 kN/m³)
12 mm diameter ( tension bar)
10 mm diameter ( temperature bar)

The analysis of T beams is quite similar to the analysis of rectangular beams in that
the specifications relating to the strains in the reinforcing are identical.
To repeat briefly, it is desirable to have 𝜀𝑡 values ≥ 0.005, and they may not be less
than 0.004 unless the member is subjected to an axial load ≥0.10fc’Ag
