1.1.1 Introduction
Reinforced concrete slabs are large plates that are supported at its sides by reinforced concrete
beams, beams, walls, columns, steel beams, or by the ground. If a slab is supported on two opposite
sides only, they are referred to a one-way slab since the bending occurs in one direction only. If the slab
is supported on all four sides it is called two-way slabs since the bending occurs in both directions.
One- Way Slab
One-way slab is a slab that bend in one direction usually along the short span. The ratio of small
to longer span is less than 0.50 and the main bars are placed parallel to the shorter span to resist cracks
and shrinkage. A temperature bars are use and place on top of the main bars (bottom bars)
perpendicular to the shorter span.

The reinforcing steel is usually spaced uniformly over its width. On-way slabs are analyzed by
considering one-meter strip, which is assumed independent to the adjacent strips. This method of
analysis is somewhat conservative because we neglect the lateral restraint provided by the adjacent
strips.

Section 406.5
As an alternate to frame analysis, the following approximate moments and shears shall be permitted to

Section 406.5.1
It shall be permitted to calculate 𝑴𝒖 and 𝑽𝒖 due to the gravity loads with this section for continuous
beams and one-way slabs satisfying (a) through (e):
a. Members are prismatic;
b. Loads are uniformly distributed;
c. L ≤ 3D;
d. There are atleast two spans;
e. The longer of the two adjacent spans does not exceed the shorter by more than 20 percent.
Section 406.5.2

1.1.4 Steps in Design of One-way Slab
1. Identify the uniform floor pressure (kPa) to be carried by the slab. This load may consist of live
load pressure, dead load pressure, etc.
2. Determine the minimum thickness of slab in accordance to Table 409-1 of NSCP 2010/2015.
3. Compute the weight of the slab (kPa)
𝒘𝒔 = 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑒 𝒙 𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑏 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠
4. Compute for the factored maximum weight due to floor loads including the weight of the slab
and analyze 𝟏𝒎 width.
𝒘𝒖 = 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑𝑠 (𝑘𝑃𝑎) 𝒙 1 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑝
5. Compute for the factored maximum moment, 𝑴𝒖 .
Apply ACI Moment Coefficient Method when applicable.
6. Compute the required steel ratio (𝝆).
𝝆𝒇𝒚
𝑴𝒖 = ∅𝝆𝒇𝒚 (𝟏 − ) 𝒃𝒅𝟐
𝟏. 𝟕𝒇′ 𝒄
7. Check ductility
𝝆𝒎𝒊𝒏 < 𝝆 < 𝝆𝒎𝒂𝒙
when 𝝆 > 𝝆𝒎𝒂𝒙, increase depth of the slab then recompute
when 𝝆 < 𝝆𝒎𝒊𝒏 , use 𝝆 = 𝝆𝒎𝒊𝒏
8. Calculate the steel reinforcement and spacing for main bars
