Question: Slab design: A 9 - in - thick one - way slab shown below is reinforced with No . 3 bars with spacing = 1

Slab design: A 9-in-thick one-way slab shown below is reinforced with No.3 bars with spacing =10in. The span length of the slab is 12ft. Knowing that the clear concrete cover is 34in. and material properties are fc'=4000 psi (normal weight concrete) and fy=60,000 psi:
(a) Check whether the slab thickness meets ACI's requirements on minimum slab thickness. (10 points)
(b) Calculate the design flexural strength of a 1-ft strip of the slab and check whether the design here meets ACI's requirements on minimum reinforcement area. (15 points)
(c) Calculate the design shear strength of a 1-ft strip of the slab. (10 points)
