00:00Hello everyone, welcome back you all in this new video, where we are going to see how to
00:04design different types of slayer as one guy slab, two way slabs and cantilever type of
00:09the slabs by using this one master excel sheet.
00:12At the end of this video, we will see some dynamic feature of this excel sheet to prepare
00:17the schedule and details.
00:19Have a look over the structural framing plan of this particular floor, where different
00:22floor slabs are present as S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5.
00:29And here we need to design all these different floor slabs, in respect of the preliminary
00:33deca as given.
00:35So the material for designing of all these different slabs, we had to use as for concrete
00:40M25 and for steel AP500.
00:43The loads for these slabs as given as live load as 3Km square and floor finish load as
00:501.2Km square.
00:52The clear cover for all these slabs needed to consider as 20mm and side cover as needed
00:58to consider 30mm and the section size of the beam which is going to provide the support
01:02to all the slabs as 230x500 in mm.
01:06So these are the preliminary data that are very very essential for the designing of all these
01:11different types of the slabs.
01:12So without wasting time, we are going to look at and we are going to take the help of the
01:16advanced and master excel sheet that will help us to design all these different slabs.
01:22First of all, try to understand how to use this excel sheet.
01:25So here you have to edit the values only in euro cells.
01:28You are not allowed to edit the values in the white cells.
01:32Wherever the white cells are present, you don't need to try to edit that cells because the
01:36formulas are fitted in that white cells.
01:39So white cells are going to adjust the values on its own.
01:43You have to edit the values only in euro cells.
01:46Later, this cell will suggest the safe value, the limiting values and wherever in this excel
01:51sheet you are finding the black cells or black area, you have to skip that area.
01:57And wherever in this excel sheet you are getting the rare cells, it is the sign of the danger
02:01or failure.
02:02So while using this spirit sheet or this excel sheet, you should keep all these things in
02:07your mind.
02:08In what cells, what you had to do.
02:10Now look at this structure framing plan, where we are going to design first as S1 slab and
02:15this S1 slab is having the shorter span as 5.436 and longer span as 5.716.
02:23And the plenary data we have to follow for the resiling of this S1 slab.
02:27So I am going to put the values in our spreadsheet.
02:30So here, the grade of concrete we have to use as M25.
02:34So drop down list is there.
02:36You can choose the grade of concrete as per your need, as per your requirement.
02:40So I am going to choose the M25 grade of concrete and grade of steel we have given as Fe500.
02:47These two things we are having in respect of the material.
02:50In respect of the sectional properties, shorter the span of the slab.
02:54So how much the shorter span of the slab is.
02:56So that is actually what present here.
02:58Look at here.
02:59The shorter span of this one slab is 5.436.
03:03So that I am going to put 5.436.
03:08Longer span is 5.716.
03:125.716.
03:14So this sheet will tell you whether it is either one slab or two-way slab automatically.
03:19So here, this slab is actually what two-way slab.
03:22Now, if it is two-way slab, so IS-436-2000 has suggested nine type of the panels.
03:28Whether it is what interior panel, one shot, it discontinues, discontinues.
03:32So when you are going to use this excel sheet, so you don't need to look at the IS hood to
03:37decide the type of panel.
03:39You can directly select the type of panel here only.
03:41And accordingly, later design is going to be adjusted.
03:44So I am going to decide what type of panel it is.
03:47So here, this slab is having this shorter span, which is discontinuous from this side.
03:53On this side, it is also discontinuous.
03:55Now on this side, about this beam too.
03:58So on this side, what partly it is discontinuous, partly it is what continuous.
04:05So in this situation, what normally we are the structure...
04:08Engineers are considering that we are going to consider this completely discontinuous.
04:13Don't consider it to be what continuous.
04:16So here, we are going to consider this edge also discontinuous, this also discontinuous,
04:21this also discontinuous.
04:23So three edges are discontinuous, only one short edge is continuous.
04:29So this type of panel it is.
04:31So we have to find in our excel sheet where this type of panel is.
04:35So when you find it here, only one long edge is continuous.
04:40Second, only one short edge is continuous.
04:43Three edges are discontinuous, only one short edge is continuous.
04:47So I am going to choose this one.
04:49Thereafter, here we need to assume the trial depth of this slab.
04:52So normally, for a residential building, whose both span of this slab are within the 5 meter.
04:58So that are going to be satisfied with 120 to 130 lm thickness of this slab.
05:04So based on this expert recommendation, we are going to choose the forward depth of this slab
05:09as one, I am going to take it from the economical side as 120 mm.
05:15So I am going to take the trial depth.
05:17It is not the final one.
05:19On the ladder, it still may change.
05:21Okay.
05:22So I am going to take 120 mm trial depth of this slab.
05:24Thereafter, what is the width of the beam supporting width?
05:27That is, we have given as 230 mm, clear cover as 20 mm, side cover as what we have given
05:34the side cover.
05:35So side cover has given as 30 mm.
05:37So that only I am going to cut it out here as 30 mm as the side cover.
05:41Diameter of main reinforcement, trial diameter we have to choose from here.
05:46So any of the value you can put here as 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, whatever you need.
05:51So I am going to cut it out, trial diameter of the bar as 10 mm.
05:55Now, effective depth of 11 is going to become as 95.
05:58If you have to expand along the shorter direction, 5.66.
06:02If you have to expand along the longer direction, 5.4.
06:05Sheet is going to calculate all these things.
06:07Aspect ratio is less than 1, so it's quite obvious it is a two-way slab.
06:12Now, based on the two-way slab and based on the type of panel, all these movement corporation
06:19is going to be calculated by the sheet itself.
06:21You go need to go to your IS code.
06:23Now, here we have to do the load calculation.
06:26So here we have to adjust the values of the loads.
06:30So how much is simplified?
06:32Sheet is going to calculate itself with based on overall depth you have considered and density
06:38of the concrete.
06:39Thereafter, how much the floor finish?
06:41So for the case of the floor finish, you have to adjust this value by varying these two.
06:47Density of the floor finish and thickness of the floor finish.
06:49Accordingly, this value is going to be changing.
06:52Okay, so these two parameters, the density of the floor finish is muddy again.
06:56So I am going to keep it as fixed.
06:58Now, thickness I am going to change.
07:00Thickness of the floor finish.
07:02So, floor finish we have to adjust here.
07:04How much the value is there?
07:05Floor finish is 1.2.
07:07So that I am going to set here.
07:091.2 I have to set here.
07:11So here I am going to define it as 75.
07:13I mean, I am thickness.
07:14So it is going to be the 1.5.
07:16No, it is more.
07:17No, take it 65.
07:19It is 1.3.
07:20No, take it to be 60.
07:23Yeah, it is 1.2.
07:24No, that's it.
07:25Lie good.
07:26How much the lie load has recommended?
07:283kg lie good.
07:29Okay.
07:30Total factor load is going to be calculated by the sheet itself.
07:33And maximum bending moment also, the sheet is going to be calculated.
07:37Now, along the shorter span, maximum bending moment is 16.735.
07:42Along the longer span, the maximum bending moment is what?
07:4520.11.
07:46Now, how much the area of reinforcement required along the shorter span?
07:50447.269.
07:52So, I would like to take 10 mm diameter of bar.
07:55So, because the 10 mm diameter of bar, the spacing requirement is 170 pi.
07:59So, I am going to take the year as what?
08:00For the sheet itself as 150.
08:02150 mm, center to set the spacing I am going to take.
08:06With 8 mm diameter of bar along the longer span, it is what?
08:0991.
08:10So, I am going to change it to what?
08:1210 also.
08:13In this direction, 142.
08:15So, there is to be what?
08:16What you can do with next?
08:18125 mm, center to center.
08:20Along the longer direction, long span.
08:23No.
08:24Here, check for the depth.
08:25Provided depth is safe in flexor.
08:27No.
08:28Provided depth, revise the depth for deflection check.
08:31Your provided depth is not safe for the deflection.
08:34You are getting the sign here.
08:35As earlier, I said that.
08:37If you are getting red cell anywhere in this extension, that is a sign of danger or failure.
08:42So, it is what?
08:43Your depth is not sufficient.
08:45So, you can satisfy these criteria even by reducing the spacing of the reinforcement.
08:51Also, to a certain extent.
08:52So, I am going to change the spacing as 125.
08:56So, still it is not passing.
08:57Now, if I take the spacing as 100 mm.
08:59And here also, I am going to take 100 mm.
09:01It still is not passing.
09:03So, your criteria for a deflection check is not going to be controlled by increasing the percentage of reinforcement.
09:10So, the only option is that you have to increase the depth.
09:13So, I am going to increase the depth as 130 areas.
09:16Now, move forward.
09:18This loading will be same.
09:19No chase.
09:20No.
09:20Here, 10 mm.
09:21190.
09:22So, I am going to take here.
09:23It is what?
09:24175.
09:25Here also, okay.
09:26150.
09:27I am going to take.
09:29Now, with this also, there is no any modification for the.
09:32Your depth is not safe for the deflection.
09:35We are not getting the improvement.
09:36We have to further increase the depth.
09:38Now, I will have to take 150 mm overall depth of this lad.
09:42Now, next, here what?
09:45217.
09:46So, I am going to take 200.
09:48And here, 178.
09:50So, I would like to take 175.
09:52Look at this.
09:53Student is not passing.
09:55Permissible span to effective depth ratio is 36.
09:58And here what?
10:00Actual is 45.
10:01Not possible to satisfy.
10:03Now, 175.
10:05Check it.
10:06Now, it is still close.
10:0712P spacing.
10:09It still does not passing.
10:11Here, 12P.
10:12No improvement.
10:13No.
10:14What I can do?
10:15I can increase the diameter of bar also.
10:16Increase that I am going to get 12.
10:19Now, here also increase to 12.
10:21Now, here 330.
10:23I will have to take 250.
10:25Maximum we are going to provide 250.
10:27Now, here also I am going to take 250.
10:29Spacing.
10:30Still not passing.
10:31No.
10:32225.
10:34Here also 225.
10:36Okay.
10:36To be 250 only.
10:39Passing?
10:39No.
10:40It is not going to pass.
10:41What we can do?
10:42Further, we are going to reduce the 200.
10:44Now, along the shorter span, it is going to consider.
10:47And for this direction, also I am going to reduce 200.
10:50Now, it is passing.
10:52Probably depth is shape in reflection.
10:54So, in both of the direction, we need to have the diameter of bar as 12 mm.
10:59Okay.
11:00Because why this extra demand is there?
11:02Because the span of this slab is more than of 5 meter.
11:05That's why design is what?
11:07Heavier.
11:07So, your prior depth is safe in flexor.
11:10Your prior depth is safe in deflection also.
11:12Now, your design is also safe in shear.
11:16Check for the cracking.
11:18So, here, as we have provided the percentile of reinforcement more than of the minimum percentage.
11:24Plus, the spacing we have provided less than of 300.
11:28These two criteria are there.
11:30Okay.
11:30Your spacing is less than of 300.
11:33As well as the reinforcement provided in both of the direction is more than of 0.12 percent.
11:38So, due to that reason, it is not needed to go for the design against the cracking.
11:44There is no need to go for checking against the cracking.
11:47Our design is safe against the cracking.
11:50No.
11:50This is what the design result.
11:52So, it is what?
11:53S1 slab.
11:53I have to correct it.
11:54What?
11:55S1?
11:55No.
11:56What is the overall thickness of this slab?
11:57150.
11:58What reinforcement required along the shorter span?
12:012x11 diameter of power at a specimen of 200.
12:03Center to center.
12:05Along the longer span.
12:062x11 diameter of power at a specimen of 200.
12:08Center to center.
12:09What type of this slab is?
12:11It is a 2x slab.
12:13Now, here, the schedules are present.
12:15So, previous data are actually here.
12:17It is present.
12:18I want to clear all that data.
12:20So, clear all.
12:21Now, here, no schedule is present.
12:23Now, go to slab design.
12:25I want to send this schedule to the sheet.
12:28So, just click over this same to schedule.
12:30Once you click over this same to schedule.
12:32This data is going to be transferred to schedule list.
12:35There is a dynamic feature of this Excel sheet.
12:38So, this is the first panel design we have completed.
12:41Now, have a look over the next panel.
12:44So, look at this.
12:45Next, we have to design the slab number 2.
12:47Okay.
12:48S2 we have to design.
12:49So, what is the span?
12:51Shortest span is 2.356.
12:54It means concrete.
12:55Grade is same.
12:56Steel grade is same.
12:57Shortest span is 2.356.
13:01Longer span is how much?
13:035.436.
13:055.436.
13:08Let's check.
13:09Now, it is the 1-base slab or 2-base slab.
13:11Sheet will automatically tell you about it is 1-base slab or 2-base slab.
13:14You don't need to bother about it.
13:16Now, what type of this 1-base slab?
13:18Either it is cantilever.
13:19Either it is simply supported.
13:21Or it is the continuous type of 1-base slab.
13:24So, it is actually the floor slab.
13:26So, it is the continuous type of 1-base slab.
13:28There is a continuity.
13:29There is a continuity.
13:30There is a continuity.
13:30There is a discontinuity.
13:31It is the continuous type of 1-base slab.
13:34Okay.
13:35So, we have to change it as what type of 1-base slab is.
13:39So, here it is simply supported type.
13:42Continuous type.
13:43Cantilever type.
13:44So, actually it is the continuous type.
13:46So, I am going to change it to more continuous type.
13:49That's it.
13:49What depth you should consider, so initially I am going to consider 130 mm trial depth.
13:55Width of the beam 230, covers and diameter of power and I am going to assume all these values as it is.
14:02Now moving forward and here the loadings are also same, no changes there.
14:07Now, 2 mm initially I am going to try it with 10 mm diameter of power, 10 mm diameter of power.
14:13So with 10 mm diameter of power, along the shorter span 4.
14:17So means very large demand is there.
14:19So I think we should start with 120 also, 120.
14:23Just come down, no with 120 with 8 mm diameter of power.
14:28So what 263, I will have take 250 only, no here 349.
14:34So maximum spacing we are taking as what 250, actually code is allowing as 300.
14:40But while practicing we are limiting the maximum spacing to 250 only.
14:44We are not providing the spacing more than 250.
14:47Code is allowing two and three ended.
14:48For this safe design, we are considering the maximum spacing as 250 only.
14:53So 250, just come down.
14:55Your product depth is safe in flexor, product depth is safe in deflection, product depth is safe in shear.
15:03No, it is also safe in cracking.
15:06Check for the cracking.
15:07No, this is what the design result.
15:09What type of panel is slap 11 is what?
15:11S2.
15:12Thickness is this, along the shorter span 8 mm at 250 center to center.
15:16Longer span 8 mm at 250 center to center.
15:19It is the one way slab sent to schedule.
15:23Once you click on the schedule, schedule is going to be updated for the S2 slab.
15:27Now, coming back for the third type of the panel.
15:31That is what?
15:32This S3 and S4.
15:33So these two slabs you can design on your own.
15:37Because it is the type of the two way slab.
15:40So you can design.
15:41You know very well how to design it.
15:43Now, we are going to focus over the S5 slab.
15:45How to design the S5 slab?
15:48So it is the cantilever slab.
15:49Of the cantilever portion is 2 meter and width is what?
15:535 meter.
15:542 and 5 meter.
15:55Okay.
15:56So then I am going to put here.
15:59Cantilever as 2 meter.
16:01It is the 5 meter.
16:03It is the one way slab.
16:05But it is not the continuous type.
16:07It is not the simply supported type.
16:08It is the cantilever type of the one way slab.
16:11Now, what thickness we should consider initially.
16:14So here I am going to start with 120.
16:16Or let it to be 130.
16:18Change it.
16:19Trial depth.
16:20No.
16:20Initial diameter I am going to consider as 10.
16:23Rest of all things as it is.
16:25Now moving forward.
16:27Loading are same.
16:28No need to change it.
16:29No.
16:29If suppose 8 meter diameter of bar I am going to use.
16:32So it is asking to provide 86.
16:34That is not okay.
16:35We are limiting minimum spacing as 100.
16:38We are not normally providing the spacing less than of 100.
16:41From 100 to 250 we are providing this spacing.
16:45So basically it is what less than of 100.
16:48So no option.
16:49Option is that what?
16:50You can increase the dia or you can increase the depth.
16:53Two options are there.
16:54If suppose I am going to increase the dia.
16:5610 mm.
16:57135 and okay 135 I will have to provide 125.
17:02Okay with 8 mm diameter of bar 322.
17:05So we will provide maximum as 250 you know very well.
17:08Just come down.
17:09So your product depth is safe in Fletcher.
17:12Your product depth is not safe in deflection.
17:15And great difference is there.
17:17Actual span to effective depth ratio is 19.54.
17:21And permissible is 7.
17:23So great difference.
17:24Twice difference is there.
17:25So that cannot be controlled by this spacing.
17:28Anyhow you have to increase the depth.
17:31So at least I am going to increase as 150.
17:33Once we change it to 150.
17:36Now with 10 mm 154.
17:38I would have to take again 150.
17:41Now here 250.
17:44Okay.
17:45Now it is not passing.
17:46Trying to compensate it with spacing initially.
17:51So change it to 125.
17:52Next step.
17:53No change.
17:54Then 100.
17:56No change.
17:57It is 16.
17:58It is 10.
17:59We need to increase the depth.
18:01So I am going to increase the depth to 175 mm.
18:03Overall thickness of the quantity viewer slab.
18:05Here it is what 10 mm dia.
18:07173.
18:08So I am going to provide as 150.
18:11It will be like 250 it is.
18:14Now I am going to change it to 200.
18:17Okay.
18:17239.
18:18So it is what the limit we are going to provide as 200.
18:21Now 115.
18:23It is also not working.
18:24Let's try with 125.
18:2711 and 13.
18:28Very close to pass.
18:30And it will be same.
18:31No.
18:32No difference.
18:33Okay.
18:34What we can do.
18:35So let's 200 overall thickness of this slab.
18:37No.
18:38189.
18:39I am going to change it to what.
18:41175.
18:42And this will be 200.
18:44Let's check.
18:45Still not passing.
18:46150.
18:47Still not passing.
18:48125.
18:50No it is passing.
18:52Here.
18:52Span to effect to depth ratio.
18:54Actual is 11.9.
18:55Almost 12.
18:57Permissible is 13.
18:58So actual is less than of your permissible value.
19:01That's what.
19:02Okay.
19:02Your product depth is safe in deflection also.
19:05Now just move down.
19:07Your design is safe in shear also.
19:09Your design is safe in cracking also.
19:12Your design is safe.
19:13Again the check for the cracking.
19:15Now this is what the design is done.
19:16That slab number what.
19:18It is slab number 5.
19:19So I am going to give the label.
19:21To this slab as S5.
19:23Okay.
19:24Now overall thickness is what.
19:25Two ended.
19:26And it is what.
19:2710M diet is passing of 125.
19:30Along the shorter span.
19:31Along the longer span.
19:328M diet is passing of 200.
19:34Okay.
19:35Now just click over the.
19:36Send to schedule.
19:37Previously it is what.
19:38Two slabs are there only.
19:40Now I am going to click here.
19:41The send to schedule.
19:43So it is going to be updated.
19:44The third slab.
19:45As S5.
19:46With its design values.
19:48As thickness reinforcement.
19:49Both direction and panel.
19:51Okay.
19:51So in this way.
19:52You can use this spreadsheet.
19:54For the designing of.
19:55All the different types of the slab.
19:57And this shear toe.
19:58Will also.
19:59Give the detailing for the two way slab.
20:01How to detail it in plan.
20:03And how to detail the one way slab in plan.
20:05And also.
20:06Will give the sectional details.
20:08And also.
20:09Will give the sectional detail for the cantilever slab.
20:12So on this edge.
20:14Near the.
20:14Or at the face of the.
20:16Supporting beam or column.
20:18You can use the overall depth.
20:19As two-handed.
20:20And at the cantilever edge.
20:22You can reduce the depth.
20:23For the economy purpose.
20:25Because the maximum movement.
20:26Is going to be generated.
20:28At the support.
20:29Maximum movement.
20:30So we are going to provide.
20:31The depth.
20:32Required depth.
20:32For this maximum movement.
20:34And we are going to what.
20:35Reducing the depth.
20:36Towards the edge of the slat.
20:38So this is what the option.
20:39To achieve the economy.
20:41Okay.
20:41That you can do.
20:42As for your convenience.
20:44So detail.
20:45You can see from this sheet.
20:46As well as.
20:47You will get the.
20:48Schedule from this sheet.
20:49So this sheet.
20:50Is overall.
20:51Capable of designing.
20:52All the different types of the.
20:54Slab.
20:54Hope that you all understood.
20:56And thank you for watching.
