which is assumed to be constructed integrally with its exterior supports, which are span-
drel girders.
Example 14.1 presents the design of the slab of Figure 14.20 using the moment coef-
ficients of the ACI Code. The calculations for this problem can be conveniently set up in
some type of table such as the one shown in Figure 14.21. For this particular slab the au-
thor used an arrangement of reinforcement that included bent bars. It is quite common,
however, in slabs—particularly those 5 in. or less in thickness—to use straight bars only
in the top and bottom of the slab.
