One Way Continuous

Slab
Example

Design of Slab

Design a one way continuous slab for the hall 132 x 50, composed of
T-beam and one way slab supported freely on brick walls as shown in
fig. The live load on the structure is 30 lb/ft2 and the dead load of floor
finish (1 tiles over, 4 mud over) and that of screed 10 lb/ft2. The
specified concrete strength in fc = 3000 psi and yield strength of steel
is fy=60000 psi. Use ACI code to design the slab.
