Example 2.2 [Ribbed slab design]

A typical floor system of a lecture hall is to be designed as a ribbed slab. The joists which are spaced at

400mm are supported by girders. The overall depth of the slab without finishing materials is 300mm.

Imposed load of 1.5KN/m2 for partition and fixture is considered in the design. In addition, the floor has

a floor finish material of 3cm marble over a 2cm cement screed and it ha 2cm plastering as ceiling. Take

the unit weight of ribbed block to be 2KN/m2.

Use: C 20/25

S – 300

Class 1 works

a) Analyze the ribbed slab system, considering the effects of loading pattern

b) Design the ribbed slab system

Solution:

Step 1:Material property

Concrete:

𝑓𝑐𝑡𝑘, 0.05 = 1.5𝑀𝑝𝑎

𝑓𝑐𝑡𝑚 = 2.2𝑀𝑝𝑎

ɤ𝑐 = 1.5

𝑓𝑐𝑘 = 20𝑀𝑝𝑎, 𝑓𝑐𝑢 = 25𝑀𝑝𝑎

𝑓𝑐𝑑 = 0.85 ∗ 20

1.5= 11.33𝑀𝑝𝑎

Rebar

𝑓𝑦𝑘 = 300𝑀𝑝𝑎

𝑓𝑦𝑑 =𝑓𝑦𝑘

1.15= 260.87𝑀𝑝𝑎

ɛ𝑦𝑑 =𝑓𝑦𝑑

𝐸𝑠=

260.87

200= 1.74‰

Step 2: Verify if the general requirements for Rib slab are met using Euro Code 2

1. The centers of the ribs should not exceed 1.5 m:

- This is satisfied, as the center-to-center spacing between the ribs is 400mm.

2. The depth of ribs excluding topping should not exceed four times their average width.

- Also satisfied as 80 x 4 > 240 mm.

3. The minimum rib width should be determined by consideration of cover, bar spacing

and fire resistance

- BS 8110 code - recommends 125 mm,

- Assume for this example the conditions are satisfied hence assume requirement

satisfied.

4. The thickness of structural topping or flange should not be less than 50mm or one tenth

of the clear distance between ribs.

- 60 mm satisfies this requirement.

Step 3: Loading

Dead load:

Joist→ 0.2 * 0.08 * 25 = 0.4

Topping→ 0.4 * 0.06 * 25 = 0.6

Floor finish → 0.4 * 0.03 * 27 = 0.32

Cement Screed → 0.4 * 0.02 * 23 = 0.184

Reinforced concrete structures II – Ribbed slab Example 2

3

Plastering → 0.4 * 0.02 * 23 = 0.184

Partition and fittings → 0.4*1.5 = 0.6

Ribbed block → 0.4 * 2 = 0.8

Gk = 3.092 KN/m

Live load:

Qk = 4KN/m2 * 0.4 = 1.6 KN/m

Design load:

𝐺𝑑 = 1.35 ∗ 𝐺𝑘 = 1.35 ∗ 3.092 = 4.174𝐾𝑁/𝑚

𝑄𝑑 = 1.5 ∗ 𝑄𝑘 = 1.5 ∗ 1.6 = 2.4𝐾𝑁/𝑚

Step 4: Analysis (for Ribs)

i) Full design load

ii) Maximum support moment [at B and C]

Step 5.Loading on Girders

- Assume Width of girders A , D ………….W=300mm

B, C ………….W=600mm

For all girders …...D=300mm

- Note: the section should be checked for serviceability

Self-weight: A & D …………= 0.3 x 0.3 x 25 = 2.25 KN. m

B&C …………= 0.6 x 0.3 x 25 = 4.5 KN. m

Design loads: A & D …………Gd = 1.35 x2.25 = 3.04 KN. m

B & C …….……Gd= 1.35 x4.5 = 6.08 KN. M

Step 6. Analysis of Girders

i. For Girder on axis “A” and “D”

- To get to maximum support moment [at 2]

From the maximum reaction of the Ribs divided by the rib spacing at A and D 10.67

0.4=10.67 KN.m

Total load W=26.68 + 3.04 = 29.72 KN.m

- To get maximum span moment on girder A & D at 12 & 23

From the maximum reaction of the Ribs divided by the rib spacing A & D

0.4=10.67 KN.m

From the minimum reaction of the Ribs divided by the rib spacing 6.24

0.4=15.52 KN.m

- To get maximum span moment [at “12” or “23”]

- Moment envelop diagram for girders on axis B and C

Step 7.Loading on the Beam …. Axis 1, 2 and 3

- Self-weight width= 200 mm

Depth= 300 mm

N.B: cross section should be checked for serviceability.

Since there are columns at the intersection of the beams and girders, the beams will only support

their own loads.
