Problem:
A flat slab floor with a total area of 12500 sq. ft. is divided into 25 panels with a
panel size of 25’ x 20’.
Solution:
a. In long direction:
Mo.long=18×0.336×20×252[1-2×53×25]2=395 k.ft.
b. In short direction:
Mo.short=18×0.336×25×202[1-2×53×20]2=292 k.ft.
c. Check:
Therefore,
Mo.long = 395 k.ft and Mo.short = 292 k.ft
3. Relative Stiffness, α
This problem satisfies all the limitations imposed by ACI 13.6.1 for using DDM.

Column Strip
All the moments are divided into three parts, percentage to column strip (of
which 85% goes to the beam and 15% to the slab) and rest to the middle strip
slab.
