Problem No. IV (35%) (Learning Outcomes 7/8)
Given a continuous two span one-way slab having a span Jength of 6.0 m each. Superimposed
4 = 550 kg/m”; f'e= 280 kg/em?; and f= 4200 kg/cm’.
dead load W sup erimpose:
ASSUMING SHEAR STRENGTH-AND DEFLECTION ARE ADEQUATE.
J. Assume the stab is 20 cm thick solid slab, and the flexural reinforcement is composed of
T20@20cm top reinforcement and T16@20 cm bottom reinforcement applied throughout
the span length (along the whole span lengths). If you were consulted to advice on the
maximum service live load Wy, in T, /n* that the slab can support to satisfy the ACI
Building code requirement for flexural strength, what would your estimate be? (Learning
outcome 7)(18 points}
If the slab in Q. ] tums out to be a 25 em thick Hourdis slab in which the flexural
yeinforcement is composed of 2T20 mm top and 2T16 mm bottom bars per one rib, also
applied along the ful] lengths of the spans, what would your estimate of the maximum
service live load Wy; in Tim’ be, again to satisfy the ACI Building code for flexural
strength? (Learning outcome 8) (17 points) ih he
