CSD 366 Concrete: Topics: 7 Deflection Slabs Supported On Columns

This document discusses factors that affect deflection in concrete slabs supported by columns. It describes two models for calculating deflection: the Vanderbilt model, which considers the slab as rectangular panels supported along edges with the remainder as strips along column lines; and the Rangan simplified model, which calculates deflection as the sum of the column beam strip deflection and middle beam strip deflection. The document also notes that all models rely on an appropriate choice for modulus of elasticity and moment of inertia.

CSD 366 CONCRETE

Topics:
7 Deflection Slabs supported on Columns
Factors affecting deflection from Warner et al
• Ratio of spans
• Stiffening of drop panels and column capitals
• Deformations of supporting beams
• Extent of cracking
• Creep and shrinkage
• Ratio of sustained load to total load
• Construction loads

• All models rely on appropriate choice for E and I


• Deflection [9.3]
• Simplified calculation based on deflection of design strips [9.3.3] –
• One model detailed in text book section 19
• Indirect control via deemed to comply span to depth ratio
• Models for deflection:
Vanderbilt et al. as in Warner et al
• Central portion rectangular panel supported along lines
EFGH
• Remainder is strips along column lines
• Regard CC’ as beam, deflection at mid point A is
calculated
• Deflection at B relative to A is found by considering AB as
cantilever with slope at A = zero
• Similar calculations done in transverse direction for
deflection at B’
• Average of deflection at B and B’ is deflection of periphery
of panel EFGH
• Central deflection of panel added to deflection at
periphery
Vanderbilt et al. as in Warner et al
• Central portion rectangular panel supported along lines
EFGH
• Remainder is strips along column lines
• Regard CC’ as beam, deflection at mid point A is
calculated = ¾ deflection @ centre of panel
• Deflection at B relative to A is found by considering AB as
cantilever with slope at A = zero
• Similar calculations done in transverse direction for
deflection at B’
• Average of deflection at B and B’ is deflection of periphery
of panel EFGH
• Central deflection of panel added to deflection at
periphery
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:
