Annex B – Example of how to determine the moment capacity of RC slab

Annex C – Example of design slab panel with two discontinuous edges

Annex D – Example of design slab panel with one discontinuous edges

Annex E – Example of design interior panel slab

This document presents an example of analysis design of slab using ETABS. This example examines a simple single story building, which is regular in plan and elevation. It is examining and compares the calculated ultimate moment from CSI ETABS & SAFE with hand calculation. Moment coefficients were used to calculate the ultimate moment. However it is good practice that such hand analysis methods are used to verify the output of more sophisticated methods.

Also, this document contains simple procedure (step-by-step) of how to design solid slab according to Eurocode 2.The process of designing elements will not be revolutionised as a result of using Eurocode 2.

Due to time constraints and knowledge, I may not be able to address the whole issues.

Please send me your suggestions for improvement. Anyone interested to share his/her knowledge or willing to contribute either totally a new section about ETABS or within this section is encouraged.
