3. Check limitations for slab analysis by coefficients (ACI 13.6.1)
￿ 3 continuous spans in one direction, 5 in the other
￿ rectangular panels with long-to-short span ratio = 24/20 = 1.2 < 2
￿ successive span lengths in each direction are equal
￿ LL/DL = 50/142 = 0.35 < 2
￿ slab system is without beams
Since all requirements are satisfied, the Direct Design Method can be used to determine the moments.
4. Factored moments in slab (N-S direction)
(a) Total panel moment M o :
M o = q u ˜ 2 ˜ n 2 /8
= 0.245 x 24 x 18.83 2 /8 = 260.6 ft-kips
where q u = 1.2(142) + 1.6(46.5*) = 245 psf
˜ 2 = 24 ft
˜ n (interior span) = 20 - 1.33 = 18.67 ft
˜ n (end span) = 20 - 0.67 - 0.50 = 18.83 ft
Use larger value of ˜ n for both spans.
(b) Negative and positive factored moments:
Division of the total panel moment M o into negative and positive moments, and then, column and
middle strip moments, involves direct application of the moment coefficients in Table 4-2.
