Figure 1 Plan View of One-Way Slab
One dead load case (DL4KPa) and one live load case (LL5KPa) with uniformly
distributed surface loads of magnitudes 4 and 5 kN/m2, respectively, are defined
in the model. A load combination (COMB5kPa) is defined using the BS 8110-97
load combination factors, 1.4 for dead loads and 1.6 for live loads. The model is
analyzed for both load cases and the load combination.
The slab moment on a strip of unit width is computed analytically. The total
factored strip moments are compared with the SAFE results. After completing
the analysis, design was performed using the BS 8110-97 code by SAFE and also
by hand computation. Table 1 shows the comparison of the design
reinforcements computed by the two methods.
