CIVE 467 Slab Design Homework For this assignment you will use the same building floor plan we used for the first homework assignment of the semester. Your goal is to design the floor slab for the building. Consider a portion of the slab away from the stairs and elevators where things are simple. Use a live load of 75psf for the whole floor. Use Grade 60 steel and normal weight concrete with f'c = 4000 psi Dimensions of the structure We will design the elements of this floor as the semester progresses. On the first assignment we assumed: The slabs will be 6 inches thick. Check this assumption. If this assumption does not work change this dimension for your design. The floor beams extend 20 inches below the slab thickness, and are 12 inches wide. Keep this assumption for now. The girders extend 24 inches below the slab thickness, and are 18 inches wide. Keep this assumption for now. I think this is all the information you need to complete this assignment, but please contact me if you find I have left out important information. Submission Requirements You may submit your assignment as a handwritten (and scanned) document or as a spreadsheet or document file. Make sure that you explain your choices and justify the numbers you are using. You should document your work in such a way that you could hand your assignment to another student in the class and they would be able to follow your thought process and calculations.
