13-2 Compute the column-strip and middle-strip moments in the long-span direction for
an interior panel of the flat-slab shown in Fig. 13-25. Assume the slab is 6 in. thick,
the design live load is 40 psf and the superimposed dead load is 5 psf for ceiling,
flooring, and so on, plus 25 psf for the partitions. The columns are 10 in.  12 in., as
shown in Fig. 13-25.

Note: if the local building code allows a live-load reduction, the 40-psf live load could be
multiplied by the appropriate reduction factor.
2. Compute the static moment in the long span of the slab.

2  13.2 ft
The column strip extends the smaller of 2 4 or 1 4 on each side of the column centerline
(ACI Code Section 13.2.1). Thus, the column strip extends 13.2 4  3.3 ft on each side of column
centerlines. The total width of the column strip is 6.6 ft. Each half-middle strip extends from the
edge of the column strip to the centerline of the panel. The total width of two half-middle strips is
13.2  6.6  6.6 ft
The static moment M o can be calculated from Eq. (13-5),

3. Divide M o into negative and positive moments.
From ACI Code Section 13.6.3.2, for an interior span, the total moment is divided as follows:
Negative moment = 0.65M o  0.65  57  37 kip-ft

Positive moment = 0.35M o  0.35  57  20 kip-ft
4. Divide the moments between the column and middle strips.
Negative moments
From Table 13-3 for  f 1 2 1  0 (since there are no beam between the columns).
Column-strip negative moment = 0.75   37   27.8 kip-ft
Middle-strip negative moment = 0.25   37   9.3 kip-ft
13-2
Half of the middle-strip negative moment, -4.7 kip-ft, goes to each of the adjacent half-middle
strip. Because the adjacent bays have the same width, 2 , a similar moment will be assigned to
the other half of each middle strip so that the total middle-strip negative moment is 9.3 kip-ft.
Positive moments
From Table 13-4 for  f 1 2 1  0 ,
Column-strip positive moment = 0.60  20  12 kip-ft
Middle-strip positive moment = 0.40  20  8 kip-ft
13-3 Use the direct-design method to compute the moments for the column-strip and
middle-strip spanning perpendicular to the edge of the exterior bay of the flat-plate
shown in Fig. P13-3. Assume the slab is 7.5 in. thick and supports a superimposed
dead load of 25 psf and a live load of 50 psf. There is no edge beam. The columns are
all 18 in. square.

The column strip extends the smaller of 2 4 or 1 4 on each side of the column centerline
(ACI Code Section 13.2.1). Thus, the column strip extends 19 4  4.75 ft on each side of column
centerlines. The total width of the column strip is 9.5ft. Each half-middle strip extends from the
edge of the column strip to the centerline of the panel. The total width of two half-middle strips is
19  9.5  9.5 ft
The static moment M o can be calculated from Eq. (13-5),

From ACI Code Section 13.6.3.3, for a “slab without beams between interior supports and
without edge beam”, the total moment is divided as follows:
Interior negative moment = 0.70M o  0.70 181  127 kip-ft

Positive moment = 0.52M o  0.52 181  94 kip-ft
Exterior negative moment = 0.26M o  0.26 181  47 kip-ft
13-3
4. Divide the moments between the column and middle strips.
Interior negative moments

From Table 13-3 for  f 1 2 1  0 (since there are no beam between the columns),
Interior column-strip negative moment = 0.75   127   95 kip-ft
Interior middle-strip negative moment = 0.25   127   32 kip-ft
Half of the middle-strip negative moment, -16 kip-ft, goes to each of the adjacent half-middle
strip. Because the adjacent bays have the same width, 2 ,a similar moment will be assigned to
the other half of each middle strip so that the total middle-strip negative moment is 32 kip-ft.
Positive moments
From Table 13-4 for  f 2 1  0,
Column-strip positive moment = 0.60  94  56 kip-ft
Middle-strip positive moment = 0.40  94  38 kip-ft
Exterior negative moment

From Table 13-5, for  f 1 2 1  0 (since there is no beam parallel to 1 ) and for t  0 (since
there is no edge beam),
Exterior column-strip negative moment = 1.0  47  47 kip-ft
Exterior middle-strip negative moment = 0  47  0 kip-ft

13-5 A 7-in. thick flat-plate slab with spans of 20 ft in each direction is supported on 16
in.  16 in. columns. The average effective depth is 5.6 in. Assume the slab supports
its own dead load, plus 25 psf superimposed dead load and 40 psf live load. The
concrete strength is 4000 psf. Check two-way shear at a typical interior support.
Assume unbalanced moments are negligible.
1. Compute the factored uniform load.

2. Check one-way shear.
One-way shear is critical at a distance from the face of the column. Thus, the critical
sections for one-way shear are A-A and B-B in Fig. S13-5.1. The loaded areas causing shear on
these sections are cross hatched. Their outer boundaries are lines of symmetry on which Vu  0 .
We will only check the shear for section A-A, since the check for section B-B is the same.

Thus, the slab is OK for one-way shear.
3. Check two-way shear
Punching shear is critical on a rectangular section located at d 2 away from the column face, as
shown in Fig. S13-5.2. The critical perimeter is 21.6 in. by 21.6 in. The average d value for
determining the shear strength of the slab is d  5.6 in.

The length of the critical perimeter is bo  2  21.6  21.6  86.4 in.

Now, Vc is to be taken as the smallest of the following. From Eq. (13-24),
Vc  4 fc' bo d  4 1 4000  86.4  5.6  1

is OK in two-way shear.

Check two-way shear at a typical interior support. Assume unbalanced moments
are negligible.
1. Compute the factored uniform load.

2. See the solution to problem 13-5 for one-way shear calculations.
3. Check two-way shear
Punching shear is critical on a rectangular section located at d 2 away from the column face, as
shown in Fig. S13-6.2. The critical perimeter is 29.6 in. by 15.6 in. The average d value for
determining the shear strength of the slab is d  5.6 in.
(a) Compute Vu on the critical perimeter for two-way shear.
( )
(b) Compute Vc for the critical section.
The length of the critical perimeter is bo  2  29.6  15.6  90.4 in.

Now, Vc is to be taken as the smallest of the following. From Eq. (13-24),

OK in two-way shear.
13-7 The slab shown in Fig. P13-7 supports a superimposed dead load of 25 psf and a live
load of 60 psf. The slab extends 4 in. past the exterior face of the column to support
an exterior wall that weighs 400 lbs/ft of length of wall. The story-to-story height is
9.5 ft. Use 4500-psi concrete and Grade-60 reinforcement.
(a) Select slab thickness.
 Determine the thickness to limit deflections.
From Table 13-1, the minimum thicknesses of the four typical slab panels are as follows:
Panel 1-2-A-B (corner; treat as exterior), and panels 2-3-A-B and 1-2-B-C (exterior)

 Check the thickness for shear. We should check the shear at columns A2 and B2
The tributary area for column A2 is cross-hatched in Fig. S 13-7.1 The factored uniform load can
be calculated as:

qu  1.2    150  25   1.6  60  246 psf

Note that if the area of any of the panels exceeded 400 ft 2 , it would be possible to reduce the live
load before factoring it.
Fig. S 13-7.1 Initial critical shear perimeters and tributary areas for column A2.
The critical shear perimeter is located at d 2 away from the interior column face and 4 in. from
the exterior column face, as shown in Fig. S 13-7.1. In the following calculation for the factored
shear force transmitted to column A2, the shear force multiplier of 1.15 required for the first
interior support will be applied directly to the appropriate tributary lengths. Then,
davg  8  0.75  0.5  6.75 in. (assuming 3 in. clear cover and No. 4 bars as slab

Note: Vu Vc  0.65  0.75
For this ratio, ACI Code Section permits modification of  f for moment transfer about an axis
parallel to the edge of the slab. With that information and because this ratio is below 0.8, the slab
thickness at this connection should be sufficient for checking shear and moment transfer about an
axis perpendicular to the edge of the column. Shear check for column B2 follows the same
procedure as for column A2. Thus, use an 8-in. slab. Final shear checks will be made in part (c)
after completing the flexural design of the slab.
(b) Use the direct design method to compute moments, and then design the
reinforcement for the column and middle strips associated with column line

As(provided) < As(required) is o.k. because adjacent positive moment regions are over-designed

unbalanced moments about column line 2.
Column A2

The critical perimeter is at d 2 from the face of the column, where d is the average depth. At all
exterior ends, the reinforcement is No. 4 bars and davg  6.75 in. The shortest perimeter results
from the section shown in Fig. S13-7.2 and the perimeter dimensions are,

As calculated in part (a), Vu  61 kips .
For slabs designed by the direct-design method, the moment transferred from the slab to the

0.3  M o  0.3 196  58.8 kip-ft (acting about the centroid of the shear perimeter).
Fig. S 13-7.2 Critical section- ColumnA2
From part (b), we found that the unbalanced moment due to the wall moments is 7 kip-ft and
assuming that the loads acts at 2 in. from the edge of the slab,

Therefore, take  f  1.0 and check the reinforcement required.

The bars within the 40 in. effective width can be used for the moment transfer. Place four

Problems 13-7 and 13-8 refer to the same flat-slab. As a result, the thickness of the slab was
chosen in part (a) of problem 13-7. Thus, use an 8 in. thick slab.

In each panel, the column strip extends 0.25  min  1 , 2   0.25  18 12  54 in. on each side

Compute the value of jd : ⁄
Assuming that a is constant for all sections (conservative assumption), compute a constant for

The values of As required in the following table are computed from Eq. (A).
From ACI Code Section 13.3.1,

As ,min  0.0018bh for Grade-60 reinforcement. Maximum bar spacing is 2h (ACI Code

13-9 For the corner column (A1) in Fig. P13-7 and the loadings and material strengths
given in Problem 13-7, select a slab thickness to satisfy ACI Code strength
requirements for two-way shear and moment transfer, and deflection control.
(a) Make the check for moment transfer in only one principal direction (use the
more critical direction).
First determine the thickness to limit deflections:

From Table 13-1, the minimum thicknesses of the corner panel is (treat it as an exterior
column):
 in 
Maximum n   20 ft  12   16 in  224 in
 ft 
224 in
Minimum h  n   7.47 in
30 30
Like Problem 13-8, try h  8.0 in
Now check whether this thickness is OK for shear at column A1, considering moment transfer in
the more critical direction:
Note that if the area of any of the panels exceeded 400 ft 2 , it would be possible to
reduce the live load before factoring it, but this is not the case for column A1. Therefore the
factored uniform load acting on the corner panel is:
 
 8 in lb 
qu  1.2    150 3  25 psf   1.6  60 psf  246 psf
 12 in ft 
 ft 
Although the shear force acting on the first interior column face is amplified by 1.15, the ACI
Code does not permit reducing the tributary shear area for an exterior column to below 0.5 in
either principal direction. Also note that the critical shear perimeter is located at d 2 away from
the interior column faces.
Therefore,
davg  8 in  0.75 in  0.5 in  6.75 in
13-22

And, the more critical moment transfer axis is along column line 1, which is presented in the
solution to Problem 13-7.
M u  28 k-ft
Finally, we can calculate the maximum combined shear stress considering moment transfer in the
more critical direction as follows:

Now compare compute vn to check whether this level of shear stress is acceptable.

Therefore,
 vn  201 psi  198 psi  vu OK
(b) Make the check for moment transfer in both principal directions, but permit
a 20 percent increase in the maximum permissible shear stress calculated at
the corner of the critical shear perimeter.

(c) Check one-way shear for a critical diagonal section across the corner near
the corner column.
Assume that the critical section for one-way shear at this corner column occurs at a 45 degree
angle from either of the exterior edges, at a distance, d, from the most interior corner. If we
assume that d = 6.75 in, as in part (a), the length of the critical section is as follows:

Therefore, a slab with h = 8 in will not fail in one-way shear along this diagonal failure plane.

13-11 For the same floor system described in Problem 13-10 and the loading and material
strengths given in Problem 13-7, assume the slab thickness has been selected to be
6.5 in.
(a) For a typical interior floor panel, calculate the immediate deflection due to
live load and compare to the limit given in ACI Code Table 9.5 (b).
This solution will follow the approach shown in Example 13-16.
Step 1: Compute the immediate deflection of an interior column strip, which should be taken in
the N-S direction, as these are the longer span column strips. Take the span between columns B-
2 and C-2 as the interior span in question.
First compute Ma. The loads we must consider for deflection calculations are:
6.5 in lb
Dead load: 1.0   Dead Load    150 3  25 psf  106 psf
in ft
12

Service load: 1.0   Dead  Live   106 psf  60 psf  166 psf
Construction load: 2.0  Slab Dead Load   2  81.3 psf   163 psf
Therefore, cracking will be governed by the service load. Since we know that the moments
calculated in Problem 13-7b are based on an area load of 246 psf, we can take Ma to be 166/246 =
0.675 times the column strip moments calculated in Problem 13-7b, as follows:
Negative moment at B-2 and C-2: 0.675   95.2 k-ft   64.3 k-ft
Positive moment at midspan: 0.675  41.1 k-ft  27.7 k-ft
13-28
Now compute Mcr:

M cr    383,000 lb-in  31.9 k-ft
yt 3.25 in
It is a safe bet that the slab will be cracked in both the positive and negative moment
regions regardless, due to temperature and shrinkage effects.
Next, we have to compute Icr and Ie. For simplicity, we will assume that the reinforcement
selected in Problem 13-7 is used in this slab as well.

So, the weighted average value of Ie is:

Now we can calculate the immediate deflection due to live load. Using the same logic described
in Example 13-16, assume that 67.5% of the loads will be carried by the column strip.
wL  60 psf 18 ft  0.675  0.729 k/ft  60.8 lb/in

Step 2: Compute the immediate deflection of an interior middle strip, which should be taken in
the E-W direction, as these are the shorter span middle strips. Take an interior span between
column lines 2 and 3.
13-29
First compute Ma. The loads we must consider for deflection calculations are:
6.5 in lb

Construction load: 2.0  Slab Dead Load   2  81.3 psf   163 psf
Therefore, cracking will be governed by the service load. Since we know that the moments
calculated in Problem 13-7b are based on an area load of 246 psf, we can take Ma to be 166/246 =
0.675 times the slab strip moments calculated using the loading described in Problem 13-7b.
Negative moment at B-2 and C-2: 0.675   28.3 k-ft   19.1 k-ft
Positive moment at midspan: 0.675  24.4 k-ft  16.5 k-ft
Now compute Mcr:

fr I g ft 12
M cr    468,000 lb-in  39.0 k-ft

It is unlikely that the middle strip will be significantly cracked given that the moments
which control the cracking state are so far below the cracking moment for the strip section.
Therefore, we can assume that:
Negative moment region:
I e  I g  3020 in 4
Positive moment region:
I e  I g  3020 in 4
And therefore the weighted average value of Ie is obviously:
I e( average)  3020 in 4
Now we can calculate the immediate deflection due to live load. Using the same logic described
in Example 13-16, assume that 32.5% of the loads will be carried by the middle strip.
wL  60 psf  20 ft  0.325  0.390 k/ft  32.5 lb/in

Step 3: Compute the maximum immediate total deflection in the panel due to the live load, and
compare against allowable deflections according to ACI Code limits.

(b) For the same floor panel, calculate the total deflection after the attachment
of partitions and compare to the limit given in ACI Code Table 9.5(b) for
partitions that are not likely to be damaged by long term deflections.
Assume that 85 percent of the dead load is acting when the partitions are
attached to the structure and assume that 25 percent of the live load will be
sustained for a period of one year.
We will assume that the total expected deflection after the attachment of partitions is a
sum of the following:
1. Dead load
Assuming that 85% of the dead load is already acting when the partitions are
attached, consider 15% of the immediate deflection due to dead load affects the
partitions.
Dead immediate  0.1 (0.124 in  0.028 in)  0.015 in
2. Live load
Assume that the total instantaneous deflection due to live load could occur at any
time once the partitions are attached, so include the full instantaneous deflection
due to live load.
Live immediate  0.159 in
3. Long term deflections

Assume that the full dead load acts plus 25% of the live load over the
course of a year. Use the suggested deflection coefficient of 3.0 to adjust
for long-term amplification effects.
Long term  3.0   0.124 in  0.028 in  0.25  0.159 in   0.575 in
Therefore, the total expected deflection felt by the partitions is:

 partitions   Dead immediate   Live immediate   Long term
 partitions  0.015 in  0.159 in  0.575 in  0.749 in
Compare this to the ACI limit for slab systems supporting partitions which are not
likely to be damaged by large deflections:

ACI Code Limit  / 240  ft  1.0 in We are OK.

13-12 Repeat the questions in Problem 13-11 for the following panels.
(a) An exterior panel along the west side of the floor system.
13-31
This solution will follow the same lines as the solution for Problem 13-11. The column
strip in question will still be taken along the N-S direction. The major change will lie in the
definition of moments acting in the column and middle strips.
(b) An exterior panel along the north side of the floor system.
This solution will follow the same lines as the solution for Problem 13-11. The column
strip in question will still be taken along the N-S direction. The major change will again lie in the
definition of moments acting in the column and middle strips.
(c) A corner panel.
This solution will again follow the same lines as the solution for Problem 13-11. The
column strip in question will still be taken along the N-S direction. The major change will still lie
in the definition of moments acting in the column and middle strips.
