CHAPTER ONE:
1 1 INTRODUCTION :
This paper describes a slapie -tho4 for d d l ~ e h t
add optimum selection of reinforcod mctete f toe~r4 . A
graphical approach is employed to determine the r ~ h t
economical system, section properties followhg d saCk# of
trial analyses based on CPXIO, part 2, 1972.
CPIIO states that the purpose of design is the
achievement of acceptable probabilities t h a t t h e &ttuCtut4
being designed will not become u n f l t for use for whicd i t
is required; that is, i t will not reach a limit state.
Thus the design of reinforced concrete floors would involve
selecting section properties and floor types, Such that
an acceptable probability is provided against floors reaching
any of the limit states and being unecenomical. It is
possible to select more than one set of section properties
and floor types to satisfy these ~endikiond~
In present day design practece, d~ikable stab ~ d t t i 6 n ~
and types are usually obtained by dnelysing t r ia l des igns ,
the experience of the Engineer being used to interprete
the results, Unfortunately, the need for the Engineer to
redesign the slab considering other floor systems can lead
to an excessively long design time. This results is

where
As = Area of Steel
Cs = Cost of Steel per hp -
H = Depth of Concrete floor
Cc = Cost of Cubic metre af Concrete
For any grade of concrete and type of reinforcement,
Cs, Cc are constants,
CONSTRAINTS :
A) The behaviour Constraint defined by the ultimaie limit
state can be expressed as
Mmax 6 mu
where Mu is the ultimate moment of resistance
of section.
8 ) The serviceability limit state requirement appears as
a limit on the deflection. CPIIO specifies that efgher
the deflection may be calculated or certain limits on span
effective depth ratio be observed. The limits for this
ratio depends on support conditions, steel stress etc.
and given in the appendix of this paper by figures A6 to
All.
With this, the optimization problem reduces to
finding design variables which minimizes the objective
function,

4.6 INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS PARAMETERS ON COST OF THE FLOOR:
The design permitted the inclusion of most of
the inportant factors affecting or controdHpgt We
selection of design criteria that are in accord'with
the accepted general philosophy of slab design.
The procedures versatility permitted present
design constraints to be changed or new constraints
to be added, or both. This versatility, in conjunction
with automation of the member design, allowed several
designs to be obtained in a relatively short time.
With reference to solid skabs, the graph shows that
the higher the strength of steel, the lower the
cost of slab, There is no marked difference in the
cost of slabs with high yield bars. This might be
due to costing of the steel because the same price
unit was used far all the bar types. Moreover the

For solid slabs, reinforcement should be limited
to samll diameter rods as they make for effective
control of crack widths. Smaller sized rods mean less
spacing of bars while large sized rods entail more
spacing, large area and more distribution bars and
therefore uneconomical.
For waffle floors, economy is achieved when the
rib thickness is made thick. This, firstly, improves
economy as shown in figure 12. Secondly, it makes for b
a more rigid floor espeically when it is intended to
carry large imposed loads, From the graphs, designs should
therefore use a rib thickness in the neighbourhood of
120mm.
The size of mould infleuencesthe cost of the
slab. Availability, though a factor was not taken
into consideration, The graph shows that the size of
mould should be reduced to the barest workable size.
600mm is recommended as ceiling boards come in that
size and for easy fixing of these boards.
For waffle floors, the effect of concrete strength
on its cost is shown in figure 14, For economy,
high concrete strengths are favoured to low ones,
This is so because for effective resistance to shear
