One-Way Slab Design Strength per ACI 318-19 with ideCAD
How does ideCAD calculate One-Way slab design strength according to ACI 318-19?
Flexural moment is controlled automatically according to 7.5.1.1.
Dimensions of the cross-section should be satisfy ACI Eq. (22.5.1.2). It’s automatically controlled and users are warned if the rule is not satisfied.
Symbols
Mu = factored flexural moment at section, lb
Mn = nominal flexural strength at section, in.-lb
f'c = specified comprehensive strength of concrete, psi
Ac-sh = area of concrete used to determine shear stress, in2
Ag = gross area of concrete section, in2
bw = web width or diameter of circular section, in.
d = distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid of longitudinal tension reinforcement, in.
h = overall thickness, height, or depth of member, in.
s = center-to-center spacing transverse reinforcement, in.
To design one-way slab under flexural moment, one-way slab design strength is provided ΦSn ≥ U. Both flexural moment and shear strength are controlled according to 7.5.1.1.
ΦMn ≥ Mu
Moment
Mn is determined according to 22.3 as nominal flexural strength Mn is calculated as shown below. Detailed information: Flexural Strength per ACI 318-19 with ideCAD
