I have to calculate moments for two way slab and the direct design methode is not applicable because the live load is too big so what to do do I need to use the equivalent frame methode but how or i need to calculate as a one way slab??
Solution:
Equivalent frame methode is the most detailed procedure provided by the ACI 318 for the analysis and design of two-way slab systems where the structure is modeled by a series of equivalent frames.
In this method stiffness factors k, carry over factors COF, and fixed-end moment factors FEM for the slab-beams and column members are determined using the design aids tables in ACI 318-11.
