Lecture 4 Two Way slab-DDM - Direct Design Method

This document discusses the direct design method for two-way concrete slabs. It begins by stating the method is for vertical loads only and lists limitations on slab geometry and loading. It then outlines the design procedure, including determining the total factored static moment and distributing it to negative and positive moments in interior and end spans, with distribution factors varying depending on edge conditions.

(Direct Design Method-Two Way Slabs)


Direct Design Method [DDM]
This method (DDM) is restricted to vertical loads only. For lateral
loads the Equivalent Frame Method (EFM) should be used.

DDM consists of certain steps for distributing moments to slab and beam
sections to satisfy safety requirements and most serviceability requirements
simultaneously.

Limitations of t he Direct Design Method


The slab system, to be designed using the DDM, should conform to
the following limitations as given by ACI Code 13.6.1:
1.-Minimum of three continuous spans in each direction.
2.-Panels must be rectangular (L / S ≤ 2.0).
3.-Successive span in each direction must not differ by more than 1/3 the
longer span (0.67 ≤[Ln/Ln-1] ≤ 1.33).

Limitations of t he Direct Design Method (contd.)


4.-Columns must not be offset more than 10% of the span in the direction
of offset from either axis between centerlines of successive columns.
5.-Loads must be due to gravity only and uniformly distributed over the
entire panel. The live load must not exceed 2 times the dead load.

2- Distribution of Mo to negative and positive moments

In an interior span
Total factored static moment Mo is distributed in such a way
that the negative factored moment at face of support is
taken as 0.65 Mo , and positive factored moment at mid span
is taken as 0.35 Mo .
