Synopsis

The structural floor plan of a $4-$story $($ground floor, $3$ suspended floors, and a roof$)$ office building is shown. The new building will be located in Sharjah, UAE. The floor systems consist of one$-$way and two$-$way solid slabs supported by beams running in both directions as shown in the floor plan. $($Story height is $3\mathrm{.}75m)$

The design loads for the floor include a superimposed dead load $($SDL$)$ of $3\mathrm{.}5k\frac{N}{m}2$ to account for moveable partitions, ceiling panels, etc. and a superimposed live load $($L$)$ to be determined from ASCE $7-16.$ In addition, a $5\mathrm{.}0$ KNfm a wall load is applied around the building perimeter. The design loads for the roof include a superimposed dead load $($SDL$)$ of $2\mathrm{.}0k\frac{N}{m}2.$

Design the one$-$way slab as a continuous slab system of the second suspended floor.

Requirements:

Determine moment envelope for the one$-$way slab $($$$2)$

Determine the main reinforcement and secondary reinforcement required in the one$-$way slab.

Provide a detailed drawing for the slab $($cross$-$section and plan$).$

Assignment Content

Using the data from Assignment A$,$ and for the continuous beams on column lines A and C of the second suspended floor: determine the following:

Requirements:

Estimate the loading on the beams using the slab thicknesses and beam dimensions

Determine the design moment and shear envelopes for the beams on column lines A and $C$ using an elastic analysis $($

STAAD.pro or equivalent$).$ Use the appropriate load patterns to maximize the member forces due to the live load.
