17.8 Analysis of Two-Way Slabs by the Direct Design Method 643<br />

Example 17.3<br />

Using the direct design method, design the typical interior flat-plate panel shown in Figs. 17.6 and 17.19.<br />

The floor system consists of four panels in each direction with a panel size of 24 × 20 ft. All panels are<br />

supported by 20 × 20–in. columns, 12 ft long. The slab carries a uniform service live load of 100 psf<br />

and a service dead load that consists of 24 psf of floor finish in addition to the slab self-weight. Use<br />

normal-weight concrete with f c ′ = 4ksiandf y = 60 ksi.<br />
