1. Definition
FLAT SLABS are slabs with or without drops supported generally without beams
by columns with or without column heads.
The slabs may be solid or have recesses formed on the soffit to give waffle slab.
The slab is normally thicker than that required for normal solid floor slab
construction, but the omission of beams facilitates provision of a smaller storey
height for a given clear height, and the construction and provision of formwork
simpler.
Figure 1.1 illustrates the flat slab construction with its various features.

2. Dimensional Considerations
(i) The ratio of the longer to the shorter span should not exceed 2;
thereby guaranteeing two-way spanning behaviour.
(iii) The effective dimension lh of the column head is defined as the lesser of
the actual dimension, lho, or lh,max = lc + 2(dh 40)
2. Dimensional Considerations
(iv) The effective diameter of a column or a column head is defined as follows:
a. for a column, the diameter of a circle whose area equals the area of the
column
b. for a column head, the diameter of the column head based on the effective
dimensions defined in (iii) above.
The effective diameter of the column head shall be not more than of the
shorter span framing into the column.
(v) Drop panels only influence the distribution of moments if the smaller
dimension of the drop is at least equal to one-third of the smaller panel
dimension. Smaller drops, however, provide enhanced resistance against
punching shear.
(vi) The panel thickness is controlled by the deflection. The thickness should,
however, not be less than 125 mm.

3. Analysis
It is normally sufficient to consider only a single load case where all spans are subject to
maximum design load, viz:
The flat slab can then be analysed using either the Frame Analysis Method or the
Simplified Method.
The structure is divided longitudinally and transversely into frames consisting of columns
and strips of slab width of strips being the centre-line distance between adjacent
panels. The entire frame or sub-frame may be analysed by the moment distribution
approach.

3. Analysis
The Simplified Method
For a flat slab structure whose lateral stability is not dependent on the slab-column
connections, viz. it is braced by walls, the Table 3.19 in BS 8110 may be used
provided:
b. the structure has at least three rows of panel of approximately equal spans in
the direction considered.
If the situation is otherwise, the designer may use the Frame Analysis Method and
moment distribution.
3. Analysis
5
MBEYA UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
Flat slab panels are divided into column strips and middle strips as shown in Figure 1.3
(Fig. 3.12 of BS 8110). Drops should be ignored if the smaller dimension of the drop
is less than one-third of the smaller dimension of the panel.
Design moments obtained from Table 3.19 (BS 8110) are divided between column and
middle strips in accordance with Table 3.20 (BS 8110). Modifications to allow for
increased width of middle strip owing to existence of drops should be made where
necessary the design moments resisted by the middle strip should be increased
proportionately.
The design moments resisted by the column strip should then be adjusted such that the
total positive and total negative moments remain constant.
6
MBEYA UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

MBEYA UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
If the above condition is not fulfilled, the negative design moments should be increased
to the value of the above.
The column and middle strips should be designed to withstand the design moments based
on Tables 3.19 and 3.20 of BS 8110.
For an internal panel, two-thirds of the amount of reinforcement required to resist the
negative design moment in the column strip should be placed in a central zone of
width equal to one-half the column strip.
Detailing is then done in accordance with the simplified rules of Clause 3.12.10.3.1. No or
negligible moments need to be transferred to columns.
The design is similar to that of an internal panel. Moments are obtainable from Table 3.19
(BS 8110).
Since there are no edge beams, the capacity to withstand edge moments is limited by the
ability to transfer the edge moments to the column, viz. the moment transfer capacity.
8
MBEYA UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
The maximum design moment, Mt,max, that can be transferred to a column through the strip
is given by:
Mt,max 50% the design moments obtained using the equivalent frame analysis,
or 70% of value from the grillage or finite element analysis. If Mtmax is found to be
less than this, the structural arrangements should be changed.
Mt,max Mapplied; otherwise Mapplied in the slab should be reduced to the limiting
value of Mt,max, and the positive moments in the span adjusted accordingly.
Moments in excess of Mt,max may only be transferred to a column if an edge beam or strip
of a slab along the free edge is reinforced in accordance with Section 2.4 of BS 8110
(Part 2) to carry extra moments into the column by torsion.

(i) Punching shear around the column is the critical consideration in flat slabs.
(ii) Shear stresses at slab / internal column connections may be increased to allow for
effects of moment transfer as stipulated below:
(a) The design effective shear force Veff at the interface perimeter should be taken
;Vt corresponds to the case with maximum design load on all panels adjacent to the
column considered.
(iii) Shear stress at other slab-column connections may be obtained as stipulated below:
(a) For bending about an axis parallel to the free edge at corner and edge columns;
Veff = 1.25Vt
(b) For bending about an axis perpendicular to free edge (edge columns only); or
Veff = 1.4Vt; for approximately equal spans.
The maximum shear stress at column or column head face should not exceed the lesser
of 0.8 fcu or 5 N/mm2.

where; uo is the effective length of the perimeter which touches a loaded area.
The design procedure entails the successive checking starting from the
inner-most, as illustrated in Figure 3.17 (BS 8110).
Where a single hole is adjacent to the column and its greatest width is less than one-
quarter of the column side or one-half of the slab depth, whichever is the lesser, its
presence may be ignored.

Where a concentrated load is located close to a free edge, the effective length of
a perimeter should be taken as the lesser of the two illustrated in Figure 3.19 (BS
8110). The same principle may be adopted for corner columns.

Similar to conventional design, the SAFE slab design procedure involves de-
fining sets of strips in two mutually perpendicular directions. The locations of
the strips are usually governed by the locations of the slab supports. The mo-
ments for a particular strip are recovered from the analysis and a flexural de-
sign is completed based on the ultimate strength design method (BS 8110-97)
for reinforced concrete, as described in the following sections. To learn more
about the design strips, refer to the section entitled "Design Strips" in the Key
Features and Terminology manual.
SAFE designs the slab on a strip-by-strip basis. The moments used for the
design of the slab elements are the nodal reactive moments, which are obtained
by multiplying the slab element stiffness matrices by the element nodal dis-
placement vectors. These moments will always be in static equilibrium with the
applied loads, irrespective of the refinement of the finite element mesh.
The design of the slab reinforcement for a particular strip is performed at spe-
cific locations along the length of the strip. These locations correspond to the
element boundaries. Controlling reinforcement is computed on either side of
those element boundaries. The slab flexural design procedure for each load
combination involves the following:
These two steps are described in the subsections that follow and are repeated
for every load combination. The maximum reinforcement calculated for the top
and bottom of the slab within each design strip, along with the corresponding
controlling load combination, is obtained and reported.
For each element within the design strip, for each load combination, the pro-
gram calculates the nodal reactive moments. The nodal moments are then add-
ed to get the strip moments.
The reinforcement computation for each slab design strip, given the bending
moment, is identical to the design of rectangular beam sections described earli-
er (or to the flanged beam if the slab is ribbed). In some cases, at a given de-
sign section in a design strip, there may be two or more slab properties across
the width of the design strip. In that case, the program automatically designs
the tributary width associated with each of the slab properties separately using
its tributary bending moment. The reinforcement obtained for each of the tribu-
tary widths is summed to obtain the total reinforcement for the full width of the
design strip at the considered design section. This is the method used when
drop panels are included. Where openings occur, the slab width is adjusted ac-
cordingly.

The algorithm for checking punching shear is detailed in the section entitled
Slab Punching Shear Check in the Key Features and Terminology manual.
Only the code-specific items are described in the following subsections.
The punching shear is checked at the face of the column (BS 3.7.6.4) and at a
critical section at a distance of 1.5d from the face of the support (BS 3.7.7.6).
For rectangular columns and concentrated loads, the critical area is taken as a
rectangular area with the sides parallel to the sides of the columns or the point
loads (BS 3.7.7.1). Figure 4-4 shows the auto punching perimeters considered
by SAFE for the various column shapes. The column location (i.e., interior,
edge, corner) and the punching perimeter may be overwritten using the Punch-
ing Check Overwrites.

Given the punching shear force and the fractions of moments transferred by ec-
centricity of shear about the bending axis, the nominal design shear stress, vmax,

where,

The ratio of the maximum shear stress and the concrete punching shear stress
capacity is reported as the punching shear capacity ratio by SAFE. If this ratio
exceeds 1.0, punching shear reinforcement is designed as described in the fol-
lowing section.
The algorithm for designing the required punching shear reinforcement is used
when the punching shear capacity ratio exceeds unity. The Critical Section for
Punching Shear and Transfer of Unbalanced Moment as described in the earli-
er sections remain unchanged. The design of punching shear reinforcement is
carried out as explained in the subsections that follow.
The concrete punching shear stress capacity of a section with punching shear
reinforcement is as previously determined for the punching check.
Given v, vc, and vmax, the required shear reinforcement is calculated as follows
(BS 3.7.7.5).
If v 1.6v c ,
Av v - vc ud 0.4ud

s 0.87 f yv 0.87 f yv
If v exceeds the maximum permitted value of vmax, the concrete section should
be increased in size.
The distance between the column face and the first line of shear reinforcement
shall not exceed d/2. The spacing between adjacent shear reinforcement in the
first line (perimeter) of shear reinforcement shall not exceed 1.5d measured in a
direction parallel to the column face (BS 3.7.7.6).
Punching shear reinforcement is most effective near column corners where
there are concentrations of shear stress. Therefore, the minimum number of
lines of shear reinforcement is 4, 6, and 8, for corner, edge, and interior col-
umns respectively.
When specifying shear studs, the distance, so, between the column face and the
first peripheral line of shear studs should not be smaller than 0.5d. The spacing
between adjacent shear studs, g, at the first peripheral line of studs shall not ex-
ceed 1.5d. The limits of so and the spacing, s, between the peripheral lines are
specified as:
so 0.5d (BS 3.7.7.6)
Compare the shear stress distribution with the shear capacity. The
comparison is reported as a ratio for the worst combination. A value
above 1.0 indicates failure.
SAFE designs rebar ties or stud rails when such options are activated in
the punching shear design overwrites. The details of rebar ties or stud
rails are documented in the Reinforced Concrete Design Manual and the
Post-Tensioned Concrete Design Manual.
SAFE uses the effective depth for computing the punching shear. The
concrete cover to rebar is taken from the design preferences unless a
design strip is present. In that case, the rebar cover is taken from the
design strip.
In the design of concrete beams, SAFE calculates and reports the re-
quired areas of reinforcement for flexure, shear, and torsion based on the
beam moments, shears, torsion, and load combination factors. The beam
design is executed on an element-by-element basis considering the mo-
ments, shears, and torsion at each nodal point of the element. Following
are some of the assumptions associated with the beam design:
The beams are designed for major axis moment, shear, and torsion on-
ly. Design for axial force or minor axis moment and shear that may
exist in the beams must be investigated independently by the user.
The beam section is designed for the maximum positive and maxi-
mum negative factored moment envelopes obtained from all strength
combinations.
Negative beam moments produce tension in the top fibers. For all but
the inverted flanged beam, the beam is designed as a rectangular sec-
tion.
