This calculator performs the analysis and design of reinforced concrete one-way spanning slabs. Design actions are calculated using simplified elastic analysis. Flexural capacity and deflection are then checked.
All calculations are performed in accordance with AS3600-2018.
Calculation
Technical assumptions
Assumes the slab depth and reinforcement is known
Using
B=1m
means the results of
M∗
and
Mu
are per unit width strips of slab
The calculation of
ku
and
Mu
conservatively ignores the compressive force from
Asc
The simplified slab analysis and deflection checks are valid if certain conditions have been satisfied as per Clause 6.10 and 9.4 respectively
For one-way slab analysis,
Ly=Ln
for simplicity
Axial capacity check, crack control, fire requirements and detailing requirements are not included.
Prestress is not considered.
Redistribution is not considered.
This calculator assumes monolithic construction, that is, the supports are reinforced concrete and have been detailed (reinforcement provided) such that the slab-support interface is continuous (load transfer is enabled).

One- or two-way slab
Although not specified in the standards, i t is typical to define a two-way slab as:
Ly/Lx≤2
Where:
Lx
is the length of the shorter slab span
Ly
is the length of the longer slab span
Otherwise, the slab is considered a one-way slab.
A one-way and two-way slab is designed in the same way. The difference is how you determine the design actions.

For one-way slabs with a single span:
+M*
:72.6 kN m
-M*
:-48.4 kN m
+M∗=8wL2−M∗=12wL2
Note
For one-way slabs with two spans, as per Clause 6.10.2:
+M* (1)
:52.8 kN m
-M*, end
:-36.3 kN m
-M*, interior
:-64.5 kN m
M∗=coefficient×FdLn2
For one-way slabs with more than two spans, as per Clause 6.10.2:
+M*, end
:52.8 kN m
+M*, interior
:36.3 kN m
-M*, end (1)
:-24.2 kN m
-M*, first interior
:-58.1 kN m
-M*, other interior
:-52.8 kN m
M∗=coefficient×FdLn2
Results are in
kNm
per
Bm
strip of slab, so if
B=1m
results are in
kNm / m
strip of slab.
