|
|
Dear friends
I am designing a waffle slab 20 m by 20 m which will house library. Ribs are at 1 m spacing in both directions . I have taken ribs width as 250mm. The depth of rib including topping is 900 mm. The waffle slab is supported on peripherial beams which in turn are supported on columns of 400 mm by 900 mm . The columns are spaced at 5 m in one direction and at 4m in the other. The size of peripherial beam is 400 by 900. I am facing problem of deflection . Short term deflection is 62 mm and total defn incl creep is 112 mm. deflection has been calculated considering discontinuous ends by Rankin theory ( taking w/2 in each direction and using 5/384 wl^4/EI). Effective MIhas been calculated according to IS 456. Deflection by plate formula is also coming almost same.
Now permissible deflection is 80 mm (Span/250). If I increase the depth of ribs, headroom is getting reduced as storey ht is 3.6m. What to do? shall I provide camber? Varyani Saheb has recommended camber in his book.
Best Wishes,

I think Camber can be provided in all long span structures.An Arch is nothing but a
heavily camber-ed beam .However additional effect of providing camber need to be
taken in the supporting beams and columns assuming hipped structure with small
rise(=camber) at centre especially for this 20mX20m waffle.

Dear Sefian,
Deflection is also a function of stress in steel, hence increase the Tension steel and compression steel and check as per the IS 456 code. The allowable deflection shall be modified with some factor based on the stress in steel.

Dear Mr. JHA,
You can try Post-tensioning.

Why not increase the rib width and reduce the spacing - that won't hurt.
May be increase the slab depth by couple of inches (50 mm)
The depth of 900 mm for span of 20 metre seems to be less.
If that does not work, may be use higher strength concrete - to get the E up.
Pre-post tensioning will be little expensive, I think.
On another note - providing camber to take care of deflection - would it not introduce horizontal thrust at supporting columns ? |

Dear A K Jha
Your problem has been understood and a solution is within the
preview of clause 23.2.1 of IS-456:2000 to control the deflection
by the increase in either tension steel or compression steel is explained

Provide Larger widths (400) for Ribs spanning between Columns & To carry out analysis as Space Frame.
Will result in reduce deflections.
Use of Higher Conc Grade, Some Addl., Imposed loads Loads applied after 3 to 6 month duration and provision of Camber 25mm.
All these put together should work to bring deflection under Control.

Dear Mr. Jha,
I stand to be corrected.The floor being designed has to carry loading of library or is the roof of library block?
Eitherway. Is it necessary to provide orthogonal grid for the slab. Can it be diagonal? In case of diagonal grids maximum span of beam is 14.12M and not 20m,hence beam moments, shear and deflection will come down drastically. In that case instead of ribbed theory use grid theory and increase distance between ribs to 1.25m.

Respected Er. Rao Sir,
I am not clear about how diagonal beams would have a smaller span than perpendicular ones. The maximum span of beam would be 20*sqrt(2) = 28.3m.
