Abstract:
The direct design method recommended by ACI is commonly used for the design of flat slabs. Since the flexural stiffness of the waffle slab varies along the span, it is expected that the distribution of moments is different from that of flat slabs. Current design procedures do not provide recommendations specific of waffle slabs. Designers smear the contribution of the ribs and use the design guidelines for flat slabs to design ribbed slabs. In addition, the effect of openings on the response of waffle slabs is not fully explored. Therefore, modified moment coefficients are needed for waffle slabs. In this paper, numerical simulations using ANSYS are used to study the response of waffle slabs with and without openings. The main objectives of this paper are: (1) to obtain the design coefficients for the column and the field strips of the internal panel of a waffle slab and (2) to study the effect of openings and stiffening ribs on the design coefficients. Ninety Linear and non-linear analysis models using ANSYS were performed in the study to evaluate the response of various waffle slabs under uniform loading. The main parameters evaluated are the column size, the solid portion size, the opening size and its location, and the effect of stiffener ribs around the opening. The non-linear finite element model was verified using existing experimental results for two waffle slabs. The moment coefficients developed in this paper were used to modify the existing ACI flat-slab coefficients to be used for waffle slabs. Published by Elsevier Ltd
