From table 9.5(c) of the ACI Code, the minimum thickness of slab without interior beam,
without drop panel, exterior panel, with edge beam and fy = 60ksi,
h

ln = (28.25*12 24) = 315 in
h

=

We take hs = 10 in
CALCULATING FACTORED LOADS
wL = 60 psf As we take in assignment 1 and 2
wD = 10 psf + 150 pcf *

ft = 135 psf where 10 psf is dead load of vinyl tiles and 150
pcf is unit weight of concrete for slab
wU = 1.2(135) + 1.6(60) = 258 psf = 0.258 ksf
CHECKING TWO-WAY AND ONE-WAY SHEARS
A. Corner Column (C1)
a) Two-Way Shear
Assuming concrete cover and #5 bars, so average effective depth d is 0
0.75 5/8 = 8.625 in

b0 = x + y
where,
x = 24 + 8.625/2
y = 24 + 8.625/2

b0 = 2(24 + 8.625/2)
b0 = 56.25 in
