Liquid retaining structures are to be designed for hydrostatic pressure force, active earth pressure, wind force, seismic force, in addition to self-weight and imposed load.
Being more vulnerable to corrosion problem, they have stringent requirements against serviceability limit state of crack.
The one-way slab is a slab, which is supported by parallel walls or beams, and whose length to breadth ratio is equal to or greater than two and it bends in only one direction (spanning direction). While it is transferring the loads to the two supporting walls or beams, because of its geometry.
Ribbed slabs are slabs cast integrally with a series of closely spaced joists which in turn are supported by a set of beams. The main advantage of ribbed floors is the reduction in weight achieved by removing part of concrete below the neutral axis. … Solid slabs of uniform thickness can be one-way or two way.
This spreadsheet is a program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis of either S-shape or W-shape underhung monorail beams analyzed as simple-spans with or without overhangs (cantilevers).
Specifically, the x-axis and y-axis bending moments as well as any torsion effects are calculated. The actual and allowable stresses are determined, and the effect of lower flange bending is also addressed by two different approaches.
