Question

2. Design a simply supported one-way reinforced concrete floor slab to span 10 ft and carry a service live load of 175 psf and a service dead load of 25 psf. Use f.' - 3000psi and fy = 60,000 psi. Make the slab thickness to ½-in. increments. Unit weight ofconcrete-150 lb/ft³a) Design the slab for the minimum thickness allowed by Table 7.3.1.1, ACI 318-14.b) Use a trial and error procedure (slab thickness in 2-in. increments) to determine the thinnest possible slab ignoring the minimum thickness requirement of Table7.3.1.1, ACI 318-14.
