Question

The project will include the design of One Way Slabs, Beams and Columns.

Choose the largest room in your house/apartment and measure the area. let's say (length 6m* width 4m) ( height 3m)

Steel yield stress (fy = 60000 psi)

Concrete ultimate compressive strength (f’c = 4000 psi)

Reinforced concrete density = 150 lb/ft3.

Normal weight concrete is used.

The slab is treated as a one way slab and subjected to a dead load of 120 psf (excluding the self-weight of the slab) and a live load of 220 psf.

a.The slab is supported by beams on the edges.

b.There is a column at each corner of the slab supporting the beams.

c.Each beam is sitting on a non-load-bearing wall.

Design

- The slab

- The beams

- The columns

Carry out all ACI code checks and sketch your designs.
