Question: Problem 1 : A simple span one - way slab is supported on 1 0 - in wide masonry walls. The centerto - center span

Problem 1: A simple span one-way slab is supported on 10-in wide masonry walls. The centerto-center span is 14ft. The thickness of the slab is 8.5in. and is reinforced with No.4 longitudinal bars at 11 in. Determine:
a) The design flexural strength of the slab.
b) The design shear strength of the slab.
c) How much live load in psf could the slab carry if it already has a superimposed service dead load of 15 psf.
Assume that cracking conditions and temperature reinforcement are satisfied. Use fc'=4000 psi and fy=60,000 psi.
(Do not forget that a superimposed dead load is in addition to the weight of the member)
