Using ACI codes.
Design a simply supported one-way reinforcement concrete floor slab with a dimension of 10 ft x10 ft.
Dead load = 2620 lb
Live load= 28000 lb
Use f'c = 3000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi.
Reinforcement is number 8.
a) Design a one wat slab using ACI code with Reinforcement and the distance of steel bars from one another.
b) Design a slab without reinforcement with minimum thickness.
Compare the load, concrete slab and a reinforced concrete slab can take? What is the advantage of a reinforced concrete slab over a normal concrete slab in this case?
How many and what type of rebars should be places in the reinforcement concrete slab?
