Abstract:
The justification for using elastic frame analogies to determine design moments in two-way slab systems is discussed. A brief history of two-way reinforced concrete slab design leading to the current code procedures is presented. This history includes a description of the various elastic frame analogies that have existed in past codes, the reasons for changes and the research leading to improved frame analogies. This is followed by a critical review of the Equivalent Frame Method in the current code with suggestions for improving and simplifying provisions for elastic frame analogies in future codes.

Design of connections of columns to flat slabs to ensure safety against punching failure is presented. The connections transfer shearing forces and moments between the columns and slabs. The objective is to cover the design procedure in most practical situations including: interior, edge and corner columns, prestressed and nonprestressed slabs, slabs with openings and slabs with shear reinforcement. The ACI 318-95 code requirements are adhered to where applicable. The designs are demonstrated numerical examples. Design of shear reinforcement in raft slabs, footings and walls subjected to concentrated horizontal forces is also discussed.

The Equivalent Frame Method (EFM) of the ACI Code was developed when the predominate method of structural analysis was the Moment Distribution method. It was furthermore developed primarily for vertical loadings. While there exist special-purpose programs intended for slab analysis using the EFM, the purpose of this paper is to present a method of using the EFM approach with an ordinary plane-frame program. This can be accomplished for the vertical loading case by the use of a substitute moment of inertia, Iec, for the columns. For the lateral loading case, the beam which replaces the slab in the analysis has to have a reduced moment of inertia, with the reduction having two parts. One part is to reflect the state of cracking, with the second part being an "effective width" factor which depends on the panel shape.

Hillerborg's strip method of design (1, 2) is a powerful and versatile technique for designing two-way reinforced concrete slabs and plates. The method is based on the lower bound theorem of plasticity, meaning that a design based on the strip method is always safe. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the strip method, including design examples. The strip method is usually divided into tow parts. The simple strip method is used to design edge supported slabs. Many designers will recognize this as an application of the strong-band concept. The advanced strip method is used to design slabs with column supports or reentrant edge supports.

Deflection control for two-way slab systems requires attention to both design and construction requirements. This paper discusses both aspects and provides a design example to illustrate how construction loads, cracking and time-dependent effects can be accounted for in slab deflection calculations.
