Rangan Simplified Model: E Col Mid

The Rangan simplified model provides a method to estimate deflection at the center of a concrete slab panel by calculating the sum of the deflection of the column-beam strip and middle beam strip. The deflection is influenced by factors like the panel geometry, material properties, and applied loads. Specifically, the model relates the total deflection to the panel length, depth, modulus of elasticity, and service loads which are modified by adjustment factors for panel type.

Rangan simplified model

• ∆E = ∆col + ∆mid
• Deflection of panel = sum of column beam strip and
middle beam strip
• Cracking under sustained load more sever in column
beam strip hence use I as Icr in calculation of ∆col
• For ∆mid use I as ½ (Ig+Icr)

• Based on this can use suggestion for estimate of


deflection in centre of panel as:
Model as shown in the figures above, relates to the final deflection at the centre
of the slab:
