 1Lecture 36 - Design of Two-Way Floor Slab System
  2Lecture Goals
- Direct Design Method 
 - Example of DDMs 
 
  3Example 1 
Using the direct design method, design the 
typical interior flat-plate panel. A flat plate 
floor system with panels 24 by 20 ft is supported 
on 20 in. square columns, 12 ft long. The slab 
carries a uniform service live load of 80 psf and 
service dead load that consists of 24 psf of 
finished in addition to the slab self-weight. 
Use fc  4 ksi and fy  60 ksi 
 4Example 1
The thickness of the slab is found using Table 
9.5c 
 5Example 1
The weight of the slab is given as. 
 6Example 1
Compute the average depth, d for the slab. Use 
an average depth for the shear calculation with a 
5 bar (d  0.625 in) 
 7Example 1

 10Example 1
Calculate d in both directions. Use 5 for the 
reinforcement. 
 11Example 1
Determine the strip sizes for the column and 
middle strip. Use the smaller of l1 or l2 so l2 
 20 ft
Therefore the column strip b  2( 5 ft)  10 ft 
(120 in) The middle strips are

Using the direct design method, design the 
typical exterior flat-plate panel. A flat plate 
floor system with panels 24 by 20 ft is supported 
on 20 in. square columns, 12 ft long. The slab 
carries a uniform service live load of 80 psf and 
service dead load that consists of 24 psf of 
finished in addition to the slab self-weight.
