GUIDELINES:
2 ( 4.50 + 6.00 ) (1000) 1. Fill-up only colored cells with their corresponding values.
h= = 116.667 mm slab dimensions
180 concrete stress and strain
say h = 100 mm = hmin = 100 mm ok! type of loading
1 miscellaneous dead loads
d 1 = h - (cover) - (rebar f) = 74 mm rebars diameter and concrete cover
d 2 = h - (cover) - (rebar f) - (half of rebar f) = 62 mm constants from the table of values
2. Avoid editing non-colored cells for it may cause unreasonable design.
Dead Loads: 3. Give the exact dimensions of the slab. Don't forget to subtract the supporting
slab self-weight = h x conc. unit wt.= ( 0.1 ) ( 23.6 ) = 2.36 kPa beam dimensions.
floor finish = 1.1 kPa 4. Checking computations using calculator may will not match with the computer's
ceiling finish = 0.24 kPa computations due to rounding-off numbers. Computer uses complete decimal
mech. duct allowance = 0.2 kPa numbers and exact values.
electrical load = 0.05 kPa 5. Having discontinuous edge will depend upon the case of the slab.
partition load = 0.24 kPa As seen on the table, depends on slab's case.
miscellaneous loads = 1 kPa

5.19 kPa
Factored Load:
WUDL = 1.2 (DL) = 1.2( 5.19 ) = 6.228 kPa
WULL = 1.6 (LL) = 1.6 ( 2.4 ) = 3.84 kPa
WU = WUDL + WULL = 10.068 kPa

Solving for Moments:

A. Short Span, Middle Strip
at continuous edge
MA = (Wu) (CA) (A2)
= 12.436 kN-m

at midspan
MADL = (WuDL) (CADL) (A2) for discontinuous edges:
= 4.540 kN-m -MA = 2.783 kN-m
2
MALL = (WuLL) (CALL) (A )
= 3.810 kN-m
MA = MADL + MALL = 8.350 kN-m

B. Long Span, Middle Strip

at continuous edge
2
MB = (Wu) (CB) (B )
= 13.048 kN-m

at midspan for discontinuous edges:

MBDL = (WuDL) (CBDL) (B2) -MB = 1.709 kN-m
= 2.915 kN-m
MBLL = (WuLL) (CBLL) (B2)
= 2.212 kN-m
MB = MBDL + MBLL = 5.127 kN-m
