• One-way Slab on beams suitable span 3 to 6m with LL= 3 ~ 5 kN/m2
– Can be used for larger spans with relatively higher cost and higher deflections
• One-way joist floor system is suitable span 6 to 9m with LL= 4 ~ 6 kN/m2
– Deep ribs, the concrete and steel quantities are relative low
– Expensive formwork expected.

General Design Concepts
(1) Simplified Coefficient Method (SCM)
Limited to slab systems to uniformly distributed loads and supported on equally spaced columns. Method uses a set of coefficients to determine the design moment at critical sections. Two-way slab system that do not meet the limitations of the ACI Code 13.6.1 or BS8110 must be analyzed more accurate procedures.

(2) Equivalent Frame Method (EFM)
A three dimensional building is divided into a series of two-dimensional equivalent frames by cutting the building along lines midway between columns. The resulting frames are considered separately in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the building and treated floor by floor.

(2) Plastic Analysis
The yield method used to determine the limit state of slab by considering the yield lines that occur in the slab as a collapse mechanism.
The strip method, where slab is divided into strips
and the load on the slab is distributed in two
orthogonal directions and the strips are analyzed as beams.
The optimal analysis presents methods for minimizing the reinforcement based on plastic analysis
