INTRODUCTION

Many explosive storage magazines with flat slab roofs, such as the

Navy Type IIB magazine, are in use by the Navy, but at the relatively

large, nonstandard magazine separation distances required by NAVSEA OP-5

(Ref 1). Since box-type flat slab roof magazines are popular with

operations personnel, many new magazines will be of this design. In

order to reduce the land requirements, these new magazines will be

designed to withstand the larger blast loads associated with the shorter

standard magazine separation distances in Reference 1. However, the

Navy's current blast-resistant design manual, NAVFAC P-397 (Ref 2), does

not contain a design procedure for flat slabs. Therefore, the objective

of this report was to develop and document the procedures for designing

flat slab structures to resist dynamic blast loads. The work discussed

in this report was sponsored by the Department of Defense Explosives

Safety Board and is part of the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory's

explosives safety program supporting ordnance logistics to the Fleet.

BACKGROUND

NAVFAC P-397 presents methods of design for protective construction

used in facilities for the storage of explosive materials. The primary

objectives of this manual were to establish design procedures and construc-

tion techniques whereby propagation of explosions or mass detonations

would be prevented and protection for personnel and valuable equipment

would be provided. The objectives are based upon the results of numerous

full- and small-scale structural response and explosive effects tests.

Questions about the safety of the older Type IIB design and uncertainties

in the design of a new Type A magazine resulted in the tests of 1/2-scale

models of these magazines in ESKIMO VI (Ref 3 and 4). The results of

ESKIMO VI and tests at U.S. Army Waterways Experiment Station (Ref 5)

Page 6: N-1759 NCEL Note By Sponsored Explosives Safety BoardDESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete

clearly demonstrated that the existing (pre-1980) design procedure for

flat slab roofs provided an excessive margin of safety against failure

from design blast loads. A preliminary blast design procedure, using

test results and analysis methods, was developed in 1981 by NCEL for

safe and efficient flat slab structures (Ref 6). This procedure was

expanded by Anunann and Whitney Consulting Engineers (Ref 7) to include

requirements on the design of columns, column capitals, drop panels,

elastic distribution of reinforcement , and the calculation of stiffness

and deflection. The procedure was then used by Annann and Whitney in

the design of a typical flat slab box magazine with two interior circular

columns and continuous exterior walls.

SCOPE AND APPROACH

The primary purpose of this study was to develop and document a

general design procedure for flat slab structures subjected to blast

loads. Eventually this procedure would be implemented into NAVFAC

P-397. The structures were to be limited to single-story, box-type

configurations with continuous exterior walls. There was to be no limit

on the number of continuous spans in any direction, but each panel had

to be rectangular and have its ratio of longer to shorter span not

* greater that 2.0.

The analysis portion of the design would use the same basic theory,

* most of the same notation, and many of the same equations that were used

in NAVFAC P-397. Thus, a working knowledge of P-397 would be very

important in understanding the design procedures to be outlined in this

report. An equivalent elastic-plastic, single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF)

model of the flat slab would form the basis of the design. Its ultimate

flexural resistance would be determined from "yield-line" theory using a

collapse mechanism similar to that found by tests. Response of the

system could then be found using equations and charts in NAVFAC P-397

for idealized impulse or triangular loads, or with numerical integration

of the equations of motion for more complicated loading functions.

Since the prediction of the response of reinforced-concrete structures

to dynamic loads is relatively inexact, simplifying assumptions were to

2

be made, when appropriate, to facilitate the design process. Results of

two-way and flat slab tests were to be used to establish flexural failure

criteria that would limit the maximum deflection and support rotation of

the structure. Sufficient shear capacity must then be provided to

preclude premature shear failure and allow development of the flexural

capacity of the flat slab.

An important aspect of the design was the use of the ACT (Ref 8)

published elastic factored moment distribution for initial selection of

the reinforcement throughout the flat slab. Yield-line theory allows

freedom in the choice of the reinforcement arrangement; however, an

elastic distribution is recommended for several reasons:

" The design is more economical.

" Better service load behavior is obtained in regards to cracking,

especially when the design blast loads are relatively low in

relation to the service loads.

" Moment distribution required to achieve the design configuration

is minimized.

" With the required concentration of the reinforcement in the

column strips, the possibility of failure by localized yield

patterns is remote.

A detailed discussion of this elastic distribution is contained in

Appendix A.

DESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB

In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat,

useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete slab is a broad, flat plate,

usually horizontal, with top and bottom surfaces parallel or nearly so.

By definition, a flat slab structure consists of a slab built mono-

lithically with columns and supported directly by these columns without

the aid of beams and girders. The flat slab system analyzed in this

report has continuous monolithic exterior walls. When the ratio, 0, of

the long span, L, to the the short span, S, as shown in Figure 1(a), is

less than 2, the deflected surface becomes one of double curvature. The

roof load is then carried in both directions to the four supporting

columns of the panel. The column tends to punch upward through the

slab, and the inclined cracking arising from the punching shear must be

prevented. Thus, it is common to enlarge the top of the column in the

shape of an inverted frustum, known as the column "capital." Further

shear (inclined cracking) resistance may be obtained by thickening the

slab in the vicinity of the column; this thickened portion is known as

the "drop panel" or simply the "drop" (see Figure 1(b)). The columns

and column capitals may be either round or square in cross section, but

round column capitals are preferred to avoid shear stress concentrations.

However, for calculational purposes, the circular capital is sometimes

converted to an equivalent square capital via the following etuality:

d2 24 = c

where: d = capital diameter (in.)

c equivalent square length (in.)

Therefore,

c =lr1d = 0.89 d (1)

EQUIVALENT SDOF MODEL

As stated earlier, the design method is based on the elasticplastic

analysis of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) representation of the flat

slab. The following SDOF parameters are required to fully describe the

flat slab behavior:

system.

* Equivalent un4t stiffness, KE, (psi/in.) of the actual system.

* Effective unit masses, mef , (lb-sec2/in. 3) of the equivalent

SDOF system in the elastic range and in the plastic range.

The effective natural period of vibration of the SDOF system is then

given by:

T = 2 K (2)n E

Structures designed for high pressure loads at short scaled distances,

such as storage magazines, will generally be sensitive to impulse loading.

The maximum response, Xm, of structural elements that are sensitive to

just the impulse loading (area under the pressure-time load history) and

that are allowed large deflections (maximum support rotations, 0M,

greater than 5 deg) can be determined from the impulse loading, i the

effective unit mass, mef, in the plastic range, and the ultimate unit

resistance, r . That is,

x - 2 (3)m 2 mef ru

where: X = maximum transient deflection (in.)

At allowable support rotations less than 5 degrees and for pressure-

sensitive structures, the elasto-plastic portion of the resistance

deflection curve must also be determined and used in the response calcula-

tions. Response of the structure can be found using charts in P-397 for

idealized impulse or triangular loads, or with numerical integration of

the equations of motion for more complicated loading functions.

Ultimate Unit Flexural Resistance

The ultimate unit flexural resistance is the static uniform pressure

*load, r u(psi), that the structural element can sustain during plastic

yielding of the collapse mechanism. This resistance is assumed to

remain essentially constant over a wide range of deflection (0 m< 12 deg).

The r u value defines the plastic portion of the resistance deflection

curve (see Figure 2). A conservative lower bound can be determined

using yield-line procedures (Ref 9 and 10).

The ultimate uniform resistance is a function of the amount and

distribution of the reinforcement (i.e., moment capacities of the slab

strips), the geometry of the slab, and the support conditions. A yield-

.N. line analysis can be used to determine ru in terms of these parameters.

Since in-plane compression forces and membrane tensile forces are not

considered, the ultimate resistance determined from a yield-line analysis

will generally be lower than the actual resistance.

Yield-line analysis is an ultimate load determination method in

which a flexural element is assumed to fail along lines that form a

valid failure mechanism. The first step is to assume a yield-line

pattern consistent with the stated conditions. The pattern will contain

one or more unknown dimensions that locate the positions of the yield

lines. Sectors between yield lines are assumed to rotate rigidly, and

ultimate resisting moments are assumed to develop along the full length

of all yield lines. Either equilibrium or energy (virtual work) methods

can be used to find the critical collapse mechanism and associated

minimum r u value. Though P-397 uses the equilibrium method, the complex-

ity of reinforcement in most flat slabs makes the energy method a better

choice for flat slab design.

Figure 3 shows examples of failure mechanisms found by test and

analysis to apply to flat slabs. In order to calculate the ultimate

unit resistance, equations for the internal work, E, and external work,

Ware written in terms of rut the moment capacities of the sections,

and the geometry of the structure and failure mechanism. The expression

for external work is then set equal to that for internal work, and the

resulting equation is solved for the minimum value of r u and the associ-

ated geometry of the failure mechanism.

The external work done by r on rotating sector i is:

W. = r A.A. (4)1 U I I

where: A. = area of sector i (in. 2)1

A. = deflertion of the c.g. of sector i (in.)

The total external work is the sum of the work done on each sector:

W = IW. = I r A. A. (5)1 U 1 1

For illustration, see Figure 4 which shows a quarter section of the flat

slab given in Figure 3(a). The external work on sector B is the sum of

the work done on the rectangular portion and the work done on the tri-

angular portion. That is,

where: L = long span length (in.)

S = short span length (in.)

x,y = distances to yield lines (in.)

A = maximum deflection of the sector (in.)

The internal work, E, done by the actions at the yield lines is due

only to the bending moments as the support reactions do not undergo any

displacement and the work done by the shear forces is zero when summed

over the entire slab. The internal work, E.., for each yield line is

the rotational energy done by moment M rotating through 0. That is,n n

I- n = length of yield line (in.)n

The total internal work is the sum of the rotational energies for all

yield lines:

E = aE.. = X m e g (8)13 n n n

As stated earlier, the flat slab design is based on the ACT elastic

distribution of reinforcement. This distribution recognizes three

orthogonal bands (i.e., column, middle, exterior), each containing

different levels of reinforcement. Thus, it is more convenient to write

the internal work in terms of moments (Mx, My ) and rotations (0x, 0 y) in

the principal reinforcement directions x and y. That is,

i- x x yy

or

Eij mx s 0x + my s 0y (10)

where: m , = ultimate unit moment capacities in the x and yy directions (in.-lb/in.)

As an example, consider the structure in Figure 4 with rotating sectors A

through D, areas 1 to 9 of equal moment capacities (in bands of width s

defined by dashed lines) and geometry defined by L, S, c, x, and y. The

internal work along yield line AB (yield line between sectors A and B)

Variables x and y are varied independently until r uis minimized. This

minimum solution provides the failure mechanism and the value of the

ultimate resistance, r.U A rapid determination of the solution can be

obtained using a programmable electronic calculator. A trial and error

procedure to solve for the minimum value of the resistance function, ru,

can be accomplished as follows:

* Start with both crack lines located close to the centerline of

the middle strip.

* Move one crack line, holding the other constant, in the direction

which minimizes the resistance function until r u begins to

increase.

* Hold the first crack line constant, and vary the second crack

line in the minimum direction until r ualso begins to increase.

e Once this minimum point is achieved, shift each crack line to

either side of the minimum location to check that a further

refined shifting of the crack line is not necessary to

minimize the resistance function.

It should be noted that if the crack line should shift out of the middle

strip, a new resistance function equation must be written and the procedure

then repeated. Appendix B contains detailed information on the determina-

tion of the ultimate unit flexural resistance for a flat slab.

The elastic deflections for several points of an interior panel of

a flat slab are given by the general equation%

Values of the constant C are based on a finite difference method (Ref 11)

and are given in Table I for the center of the panel and the midpoints

of the long and short sides. The deflection for the center of the

interior panel is determined by using CC in the above expression. For

the corner, long and short side panels (Figure 1), no simplified solutions

for the center deflections are currently available. Generally, the

deflections for the side panels will be smaller than the deflection of

the interior panel because of the restraining effect of the exterior

walls. These deflections can be approximated by using the following

expressions:

CSLong Side Panel C = C C- - (18)

Short Side Panel C = CC (19)C 2

where the values of CC, CSI and CL are those for the interior panel.

When the maximum allowable deflection of the panel is small (allow-

able support rotation < I deg), the dynamic response of the system will

be more sensitive to the elastic stiffness, and it will be necessary to

obtain a better value of the elastic deflections by using another pro-

cedure such as the equivalent frame method of Reference 12.

The equivalent elastic unit stiffness of a flat slab panel is given

by:

E IKE = ru/X E 4 c a 2 (20)

C L (I-

Because of the complexity of the behavior, the elastic-plastic transition

range will be ignored. That is, no method will be given to determine

the stiffness within this range. All dynamic response calculations will

use the previously given elastic stiffness and deflection relationships

rather than an "effective" bilinear resistance function based on the

actual non-bilinear function (e.g., fixed-fixed beam representation).

Effective Unit Mass

The mass of an equivalent SDOF system is not the actual mass of the

structure since movement of all elements of the mass is not equal. The

actual mass of the structure must be replaced by an effective mass, mef ,the mass of the equivalent single-degree-of-freedom system. The value

of the effective mass is dependent upon the deflected shape of the

structural member, varying with the type of spanning, end conditions,

etc., and therefore is different in the elastic, elasto-plastic, and

plastic ranges of behavior. The effective unit mass of the equivalent

system is related to the unit mass of the actual system by:

mef LM m (21)

where: mef= effective unit mass (lb-sec 2/in. 3)

m = actual unit mass (lb-sec2 /in. 3)

KLM = load-mass factor

For a flat slab without drop panels, the actual unit mass equals:

M = slab mob Pslab tslab Pb tob (22)

where: mslab = unit mass of slab (lb-sec2/in. 3)

mob = unit mass of soil overburden (lb-sec 2/in. 3 )

Pslab = mass density of slab (lb-sec /in. )

tslab = thickness of slab (in.)

Pub = mass density of soil overburden (lb-sec2/in. )

tub = thickness of soil overburden (in.)

For a flat slab with drop panels, the actual unit mass must be obtained

from this expression:

M = MT/AT (23)

where: M = total mass (slab + soil overburdenT + drop panel) (lb-sec 2/in.)

AT = total slab area (in.2)

Note that these quantities represent that portion of the structure which

rotates (deflects). Therefore, the mass/area inside of the equivalent

square capital and outside of the perimeter yield line (wall haunch) are %

excluded from the calculations.

No data are currently available to determine the load-mass factor,

K in the elastic range of behavior. Reference 13 gives a value ofLMI'0.64 for a typical interior panel on point supports with L/S = 1. This

value is reasonably close to the elastic value (0.61) for a square

fixed-ended panel. It is therefore recommended that the following

equation for KLM listed in Table 6-I of Reference 2 for two-way elements

with all supports fixed be used for the appropriate L/S ratio for all

panels:

= 0.61+0.16 (LS- 1) 1<L/S<2 (24)

The load-mass factor in the plastic range is determined using a

procedure outlined in Section 6.6 of Reference 2. The procedure uses

the equation of angular motion for sections rotating about supports as

its basis. This linkage motion results from an assumption of zero

moment or curvature changes between plastic hinges under increasing

deflection. In Figure 5, a portion of a two-way element bounded by the

support and the yield line is shown. The load-mass factor, KLM, for

this sector is:

ImKIM = c L1 M (25)

where: I = mass moment of inertia about the axis of rotation ABm (lb-in._sec 2)

c= distance from the resultant applied load F to the axisof rotation AB (in.)

L = total length of sector normal to axis of rotation AB (in.)

M = total mass of sector (lb-sec2/in.)

When an element (such as a flat slab with drop panels and soil cover) is

composed of several sectors, each sector must be considered separately,

and the contributions then summed to determine the load-mass factor for

the entire element. That is,

7(I /c L1)m 1

K =- (26)LII IN

For elements of constant depth and therefore of constant unit mass (such

as a flat slab without drop panels but with uniform soil cover), the

load-mass factor equals:

The plastic load-mass factors for typical cross sections (rectangle,

triangle) are shown in Figure 6. Appendix C contains detailed information

on the determination of both the actual unit mass, m, and the plastic

load-mass factor, KLM, for flat slabs.

PANEL DEFINITION

The development of the blast design procedure for flat slab struc-

tures led to the recognition of the following four panel types:

1. Corner panel, C2. Long side panel (panel side common to exterior short side), LS

3. Short side panel (panel side common to exterior long side), SS

4. Interior panel, I

These panels are depicted in Figure la for a portion of a typical flat

slab structure. It is possible to define any arbitrarily configured

flat slab structure as a combination of these four panel types. Because

of symmetry, the design/analysis can be simplified if the side and

interior panels are further divided into subpanels. Figure 7 shows the

make-up of five different flat slab configurations. Each of the divided

subpanels is equal for the flat slabs shown in Figures 7a through 7d.

However, for the 3x4 flat slab (Figure 7e), the distribution of the

reinforcement necessitates an A and B subpanel designation for the

interior and long side panels. That is, LS/A and LS/B are not identical

(different moment distribution and dimensions). By using symmetry in

the design procedure, the flat slab can be reduced to a quarter of the

shows the symmetric quadrants for the five flat slab configurations of

Figure 7.

DESIGN CRITERIA

Ultimate Unit Moment Capacity

The ultimate unit moment capacity of structural sections is based

on the ultimate strength design methods of the ACI Building Code (Ref 8)

with the strength reduction factor, 0, omitted as in Reference 2. For

structures that undergo support rotations less than 2 degrees, the

static unit moment resistance, mu, of a Type I cross section (where the

cover over the reinforcement on both surfaces remains intact) may be

used:

As fs

Mu - (d - a2) (28)

where: A = area of tension reinforcement within the width b (in.2 )

s

f = static design stress for reinforcement (psi)

a = depth of equivalent rectangular stress block (in.)

= A f /0.85 b f's s c

b = width of compression face (in.)

d : distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid oftension reinforcement (in.)

= static ultimate compressive strength of concrete (psi)c

For structures that undergo rotations greater than 2 degrees, the static

unit moment capacity of a Type II or Type III cross section may be used:

A f d

m S s c A <A' (29)u b s - s

16

Page 21: N-1759 NCEL Note By Sponsored Explosives Safety BoardDESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete

where: A' = area of compression reinforcement (in.2)S

d c= distance between centroids of the compression and theC tension reinforcement (in.)

The static design stress, f., can be approximated (as in Ref 2) with a

weighted average of the yield strength, f y, and ultimate strength, f U

depending on the amount of deflection or rotation of the element (see

Table 2).The dynamic moment capacity of the reinforced-concrete sections is

determined from the above equations by substituting the dynamic design

stress for the reinforcement, f d'for f s, and the dynamic ultimate

compressive strength of concrete, f' c for f', as applicable, where

Vc (DIF) f' (30)

f (DIF) f (31)

Dynamic increase factors, DIF, for concrete and reinforcing steel are

reproduced from Reference 2 in Table 3. It is recommended that no

dynamic stress increases be considered when determining shear or bond

capacities.

Ultimate Shear Strength

The shear resistance must be sufficient to develop fully the flexural

capacity of the slab at large rotations and deflections. The conservative

approach in the evaluation of the ultimate resistance (neglecting in-plane

compression and membrane tensile forces) requires a conservative evaluation

of the shear capacity.

Therefore, the following recommended equations for calculating the

shear capacity are significantly lower than those given in Reference 8.

In general, shear reinforcement of the slab is to be avoided. The use

of a thicker slab is a less costly alternative.The nominal beam shear strength, vc, (psi) at a distance d fromI

the face of the wall support is:

17

Page 22: N-1759 NCEL Note By Sponsored Explosives Safety BoardDESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete

v = 1.9 fi,/+ 2,500 p < 2.28V/f, (32)

where p =A /b d

The above expression for the maximum value of v ccorresponds to a 20 percent

increase in the 1.9 factor. This value of 2.28 is used, rather than the

3.5 factor of the ACI Building Code (ACI Section 11.3.2.1), in order to

provide a lower bound on the test data used in developing this equation.

k Beam shears should also be checked at the column capitals and at the

drop panels in both the longitudinal and transverse directions.

The shear strength of the slab around the column in two-way action

must also be checked. In two-way action, potential diagonal cracking

may occur along a truncated cone or pyramid around the column. Thus,

the critical section is located so its periphery, b 0, is at a distance

equal to one-half of the effective depth through the drop from the

periphery of the column capital, and also at a distance equal to one-half

of the effective depth outside of the drop from the periphery of the

drop. Where no drop is used, of course, there would be only one critical

section for two-way action. The nominal punching shear strength at

these locations is:

vc = .ovc(34)

This is identical to the ACI recommended value (ACI Section 11.11.2).

Design of all cross sections subject to shear shall be based on ACI

equation 11-1:

v < 0Vc(35)

-~where V uis the factored shear force at the sections considered, V cis

the nominal shear strength provided by the concrete, and 0 is the ACI

strength reduction factor for shear (~=0.85). The 0 factor is main-

tained to ensure against a premature failure due to shear which would

substantially reduce the overall blast resistant capacity of the slab.

Calculation of the factored shear force at any section should be made

using the tributary area, A, (in.2) defined by the yield lines and the

critical shear section. That is:

18

Page 23: N-1759 NCEL Note By Sponsored Explosives Safety BoardDESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete

V =r A (36)

The nominal shear strength is given by these equations:

V =v cb wd (Beam shear) (37)

V c= v cb 0d (Punching shear) (38)

where: b = critical section length on which shear stress acts (in.)w

bo = perimeter of critical section for slabs (in.)

d = depth of section (in.)

The critical locations for the shear analysis are shown in Figure 9 for

a quarter panel of a flat slab with central column (Figure 3a).

Allowable Deflections

Reference 14 recommended a 12-degree maximum support rotation for

* laterally unrestrained two-way slabs with L/S ratios less than 2. The

static flat slab test in Reference 5 also showed that 12-degree rotations

can be attained while maintaining the ultimate resistance. Based on the

above, the rotation corresponding to the deflection at incipient failure

is 12 degrees. The ultimate deflection is therefore:

X m= L .Lntan 12' = 0.2L mi (39)

where L mi is the shortest sector length rotating through 12 degrees.

The maximum allowable deflections permitted in the design of a structure

vary according to the protection category required. The following

maximum values of the support rotation angle, e, were recommended in

Reference 7:

* Personnel shelter e = 2 degrees

* Equipment shelter e 5 degrees

* Explosives magazine e = 8 degrees

These values are also listed in Table 4. 5

WALL DESIGN

It was shown in the ESKIMO test series that 12-inch concrete side-

walls and backwalls, reinforced to retain the earth backfill, are adequate

to resist blast loads at standard magazine separation distances. There-

fore, if these minimums are maintained, these walls need not be checked

for blast loads.

COLUMN DESIGN

The columns are designed to resist the axial load and unbalanced

moment resulting from the flat slab blast loads and the structure dead

load. The columns are designed in accordance with the criteria presented

in the ACI Code, Reference 8. Slenderness effects must be included, if

applicable, and it is assumed that there is no sidesway since such

motion is prevented by the rigidity of the roof slab as a diaphragm and

the end shear walls. Fixity at the base of the column is determined

from the relative stiffnesses of the column and column footing.

Design of the column shall be based on the ACI equation:

P < P (40)u - n

where P is the factored axial load at given eccentricity, P is theu n

nominal axial load strength at given eccentricity, and * is the ACI

strength reduction factor for axial compression ( varies from 0.70 to

0.90).

The axial load and moment at the top of the column (the critical

section is at the bottom of the capital) are obtained from the flat slab

shear forces acting on the perimeter of the column capital plus the load

on the tributary area of the equivalent square capital. The dynamic

load is essentially applied instantaneously to the column and remains

constant for a duration of t (time of maximum response for flat slab

obtained from the flat slab analysis). The column can then be idealized

as an EL-PL SDOF system with an allowable maximum ductility, X /XE, of

3.0.

Useful design procedures and design charts are presented in ACI

publication SP-17A (Ref 15). Appendix D contains detailed information

on the design of a column.

DETAILING OF REINFORCEMENT

Proper detailing of the reinforcement is required to ensure adequate

structural behavior (see Figure 10). A portion of both the top and

bottom reinforcement must be continuous across the roof, adequately

anchored and spliced, if necessary. Splice locations should be staggered,

preferably on opposite sides of the columns and at opposite ends of the

slab spans. Splices should always be located in regions of low stress

and the number of splices minimized by using the longest rebar possible.

All splices of adjacent parallel bars must be staggered to prevent the

formation of a local plane of weakness. Added rebar, such as that at

the columns, should be discontinued at staggered locations also.

Additional reinforcement at the following two critical locations

will also assist in maintaining the integrity of the structure:

* Provide haunches and diagonal bars at the intersection of the

exterior wall and roof slab.

* Provide radial diagonal bars enclosed in hoops at the surface of

the column capitals.

To ensure proper structural behavior under dynamic loads and also

to minimize excessive deformations under conventional loads, the minimum

area of flexural reinforcement on each face should be at least equal to

that specified in Reference 8 (ACI 7.12.2) for shrinkage and temperature

reinforcement. That is,

Minimum A 0.0010 b t each face (Grade 40 or 50)

Minimum A s 0.0009 b t each face (Grade 60)

The following ACI requirements are applicable:

L Ldp , 3

td < Sdp-d

When determining the steel area required for negative moment ina column strip with a drop panel, the smaller of the actual columnstrip width or the drop panel width is used. Therefore, it isrecommended that the width of the drop panel be set equal to orgreater than the column strip width. That is,

If V < V c Go to Step 18.

Step 18: Final design of slab.

a. Include drop panel mass in dynamic SDOF analysis if applicable.

b. Determine unit moments and steel areas.

c. Check all initial design assumptions (e.g., ot, OH).

Step 19: Design column.

Step 20: End.

The flow chart for the above design procedure is depicted in Table 5.

Because of the potential number of iterations necessary in the design of

the drop panel (size/thickness), the drop panel mass was not included in

the SDOF dynamic analysis until the very end (Step 18). However, it is

not necessary to redo all of the shear calculations with this new lower

ultimate resistance value.

p = As/b d c

These design quantities are calculated for the entire flatslab and are listed in Table 10. The reinforcement shown inFigures 18 and 19 was then selected to satisfy these quantities.The last three columns of Table 10 reflect these selections.

c. Check initial design assumptions.

The final check of the design involves the validation ofEquation 3 using the actual slab properties within the short sidepanel. This panel has nine unique locations (directly related tothe ACI assignment of reinforcement) where the slab properties(i.e., thickness, effective depth, reinforcement ratio) differ.Because these properties also differ in the two directions,

there would be a total of 18 values which must be used indetermining the average value for each short side panel parameter.The following equations were derived for the 3 x 4 slab shown inFigure 12:

Therefore, loading is impulsive.

For illustrative purposes a dynamic analysis based onelastic-plastic response charts (Ref 16) for triangularloads will be shown.

These values compare very favorably with the previously deter-mined values. It should be emphasized that the actual ductilityof the flat slab will be less than shown above (p = 100). Thisis a result of neglecting the elastic-plastic portion of theresistance function in arriving at the stiffness value.

Step 19: Design Column.

The determination of the design load, P , and eccentricity, e,for the lower column is shown in Appendix D. That is,

Pu = 918,945 lb

e 1.0 in.

The design procedure can be obtained from a reinforced concretedesign text book. It will not be illustrated in this report.

DISCUSSION

A general step-by-step design procedure for flat slab structures

subjected to blast loads was presented. This procedure is totally

consistent with the philosophy of the Navy's current blast-resistance

design manual, NAVFAC P-397. However, because this manual is periodi-

cally reviewed and updated, values of the following design parameters

may be affected by future P-397 revisions:

* Allowable rotations and deflections, 0 and X

* Design stresses, fs

* Dynamic increase factors, DIF

9 Strength reduction factors, 0

By dividing a flat slab into four distinct panel types (i.e., corner,

interior, exterior short side, and exterior long side), the design

procedure is applicable to flat slabs of any configuration (as defined

by interior column arrangement and spacing). The establishment of a

"step-by-step" process provides efficient execution of the design and

also allows designers to more easily understand the complex structural

behavior and interaction.

As a result of parameter studies, values for the following design

parameters were established:

" Location of positive yield line between interior columns

" Plastic load-mass factor, KLM

The yield-line analyses contained in Appendix B indicate that these

positive yield lines can be located midway between the columns.

". Appendix C shows that KLM is very insensitive to slab configuration and

yield-line pattern. In fact, K varied between 0.679 and 0.689 for ap LM

wide choice of configurations and assumed patterns.

Appendix A

ACI ELASTIC DISTRIBUTION OF REINFORCEMENT

INTRODUCTION

In gei.~ ral, yield-line theory allows freedom in the choice of

reinforcement arrangements. For the design of flat slabs, however, it

is recommnended that an elastic distribution of the reinforcement be

used. Several reasons may be cited (Ref 10 and 17):

" The design is more economical.

" Better service load behavior is obtained in regards to cracking,

especially when the design blast loads are relatively low in

relation to the service loads.

" Moment distribution required to achieve the design configuration

is minimized.

" With the required concentration of reinforcement in the

column strips, the possibility of failure by localized yield

patterns is remote.

DIRECT DESIGN METHOD

The determination of the elastic distribution of moments follows

the ACI procedures outlined in Chapter 13 of Reference 8. The ACI Code

reconmmends two methods for the design of two-way slab systems; they are

the direct-design method and the equivalent-frame method. In this study

the direct-design method will be adopted. In the direct-design method,

the distribution (between positive and negative moment zones) of the

total static design moment in each direction may be made according to a

A-1

Page 94: N-1759 NCEL Note By Sponsored Explosives Safety BoardDESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete

set of coefficients prescribed in the ACI Code. As applied to flat

slabs, this method may be used under the following limitations on

continuity, dimensions, and live-load-to-dead-load ratios:

" There must be a minimum of three continuous spans in each

direction.

" The panels must be rectangular, each having the ratio of longer

to shorter spans not greater than 2.0.

" The successive span lengths in each direction must not differ

by more than one-third of the longer span.

" Columns may not be offset more than 10% of the span in the

direction of the offset.

" The live load must not exceed three times the dead load.

The basic ACI approach used in .he design of flat slabs involves

the consideration of rigid frames taken separately in the longitudinal

and the transverse directions. When a typical horizontal span in a

rigid frame is subjected to a total design load of wL2 per foot, as

shown in Figure A-l(a), equilibrium requires that the sum of the absolute

average value of the negative moments at the center of supports and the

positive moment at midspan be equal to wL2L1 2/8 where L is the span

length between centerlines of supports; thus

pos +T ( ni +nj 8 w L2 L1 (A-i)

While the maximum envelope value at midspan can be used directly in

design, the value at the centerline of supports can be used only as a

basis for obtaining the reduced value at the face of the supports, at

which location the slab thickness is investigated and reinforcement

A-2

ILAfL

Page 95: N-1759 NCEL Note By Sponsored Explosives Safety BoardDESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete

designed. In the direct-design method, the reacting shears are assumed

to act on the clear span at the face of the supports, as shown in

Figure A-1(b). Thus, Equation A-i becomes:

M + Mni + M - -w L2 L = M (A-2)Mpos 2 ( - nj) 2 n 0

where L is the clear span, and M . and M . are the negative moments atn ni nj

the face of the supports. Thus, the ACI Code uses the total static

design moment, MO, which is then distributed using coefficients between

Mpo s at midspan and Mni and M nj at the face of the supports. The total

static design moment, Mo, is further differentiated in this report as

the moments MOL and M acting in the long and short directions, respec-OL OStively.

In the direct-design method, design moment curves in the direction

of the span length are nominally defined for regular situations. Refer-

ring to Figure A-2(a), LI and L2 are the centerline spans in the longitu-

dinal and transverse directions, while L is the clear span in then

longitudinal direction. The total static moment in the longitudinal

direction has been defined by Equation A-2. In the direct-design method,

the design curves, as shown in Figure A-2(c), may be "directly used for

design" for the exterior and interior spans. By incorporating these

design curves into the blast design methodology, the L values (for an

given direction) for the interior and exterior spans must then be equal.

These moment values are for the entire width (sum of two half panel

widths in the transverse direction, for an interior column line) of the

equivalent rigid frame. Each of these moments is to be divided between

a column strip and two half middle strips as defined in Figure A-3. For

the typical flat slab with continuous exterior walls and L/S >1, the

column strips are S/2 in width in each direction with the middle strips

forming the remaining portion of each panel. For flat slabs without

beams, the quantity aI(L 2/L I) equals zero. According to the ACI Code,

the negative moment at the interior support3 is distributed 75% to the

column strip and 25% to the middle strip (ACI-13.6.4.1), while the

positive moment is distributed 60% to the column strip and 40% to the

A-3

Page 96: N-1759 NCEL Note By Sponsored Explosives Safety BoardDESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete

middle strip (ACI-13.6.4.4). When the exterior support consists of a

wall extending for a distance greater than three-fourths of the transverse

width, the exterior negative moment is to be uniformly distributed over

the transverse width (ACI-13.6.4.3).

The rules governing the elastic distribution of moments throughout

a flat slab have now been completely defined. All these rules are con-

tained in Table A-1, which shows the calculations employed in determining

the entire set of possible unit moments, m .Figure A-4 shows then

location of these unit moments for three flat slab configurations.

These configurations were selected because they illustrate the full

spectrum of ACI unit moment distribution. Distributions for other

configurations are easily obtained from these figures. All the distri-

butions as shown are symmetric in both directions. The proposed design

methodology is limited to this condition.

In Figure A-4(a) and (b) along the first rows of interior columns

(in either direction), two values of the negative unit moment acting in

the other direction are shown. One value represents a distribution from

the interior span, while the other value represents a distribution from

the end span. In all cases the value printed nearest the exterior wall

is associated with the end spa_. distribution. According to ACI convention,

the larger of the two negative factored moments shall be used. However,

ACI allows a reduction in the adjacent positive moment so as to maintain

the total panel moment (ACI 13.6.7). For example, if m 7 is greater than

M.8, then m 7 is used as the negative moment capacity at the column, and

mis decreased. In Figure A-4(a) and (b), this reduction is (in - m )/2

and mi7 - Mrespectively. Note that in Figure A-4(c) there is no

interior span and, therefore, all the unit moments are based on the end

span distribution.

ABSOLUTE VALUES OF UNIT M0!4ENTS

Expressions for the unit moments listed in Table A-! are of a

general nature and involve the following parameters.

Appendix B

ULTIMATE UNIT FLEXURAL RESISTANCE FOR FLAT SLAB

INTRODUCTION

The ultimate unit flexural resistance is the static uniform pressure

load, r u(psi), that a structural element can sustain during plastic

yielding of its collapse mechanism. The ultimate uniform resistance is

a function of the amount and distribution of the reinforcement (i.e.,

moment capacity of the slab strips), the geometry of the slab, and the

support conditions. A yield-line analysis is used to determine r u in

terms of these parameters.

Because of the complexity and wide choice of parameter values for

flat slab structures, it becomes imperative to develop a general procedure

for determining the ultimate resistance of any flat slab configuration.

The key to this or any general procedure is in the development of a

simple, but efficient, method that can be used for any flat slab.

Basically one needs to set up the methodology of calculating both the

iuternal and external work for any flat slab configuration (i.e.,

1.0 < 0< 2.0; various number of spans in either direction; various

wall/slab thickness ratios). In this report the calculations were

progranmmed on an HP-4iCV.

The procedure is illustrated for 3 x 4 flat slab structures

(Figure 11) for which the ACI elastic unit moment distribution has been

determined previously in Appendix A. The location and values of the

unit moments are shown in Figure B-1 and Table B-i (duplication of

Figure A-9 and Table A-7). The assumed yield-line mechanism is shown in

Figure B-2. The unknown distance quantities for this pattern are x, y,

and z. The negative yield moment along the walls is assumed to occur at

a distance of c/2 from the outer face of the wall (i.e., c/2 = wall

thickness plus haunch width). This assumption satisfies the clear span

equality criterion for interior and exterior spans mentioned in Appendix A

B-i

Page 118: N-1759 NCEL Note By Sponsored Explosives Safety BoardDESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete

(i.e., L = L - c or Ln = S - c).* The division of the symmetric one-nnquarter slab into panel types (i.e., interior, I; corner, C; long side,

LS; and short side, SS) is shown in Figure B-3. These panels are further

divided into rotating sectors (rectangles and quadralaterals) about

supports for use in the calculation of external work (see Figure B-4).

EXTERNAL WORK

The external work done by ru on rotating sector i is:4u

W. = r A. A. (B-i)1 U 1 1

where: A. = area of sector i1

A. = deflection of the center of gravity (c.g.) of sector i1

A = maximum deflection of the sector

Each quadralateral sector is further divided into rectangular and tri-angular sub-sectors. The values of A and Ai for all sub-sectors are

listed in Table B-2. The total external work is the sum of the work4done on each sector. That is,

W = Wi = Er uA A. (B-2)

The external work is determined separately for each panel type after

making the following substitutions:

x x' L

y y' L

z z' L

c 0.89 a Lcap

*If the wall thickness plus haunch width does not equal c/2, one must

adjust the exterior span length accordingly. Thus, all the designassumptions remain unaffected.

B-2

Computer programs (Table B-3) were written for an HP-31CV to calculate

the external work (r uA L is factored out). The parameters stored in

the registers are shown in Table B-4. The five dimensionless input

parameters for a given yield line analysis are stored in registers 00Ithrough 04. The parameters stored in registers 05 through 20 areobtained from the initialization program INIT (Table B-5). The unit

moment coefficients are stored in registers 21 through 39. The sum of

the output from the external work programs is designated the coefficientI

of external work, "EW* That is,

W = of EW r u A L2 (B-3)

INTERNAL WORK

The internal work, E.., for each yield line is the rotational

energy done by moment n rotating through 6 n. That is:

Eij Mn 0n =mn en Pn =mx sy 0x +my sx 0y (B4

where: m*, my= ultimate unit moment capacities in the x and y

directions

s = lengths of the yield line in the y and x directions

over which m xand m yapply

6 0 -y relative rotations about the yield lines in the x

and y directions

Equations for the internal work are developed separately for each panel

type. The equations are in general terms such that they can be employed

in the design process of any flat slab configuration. Table B-6 wasI

developed at NCEL from Figures B-i and B-2 to show the parameters involved

in the internal work calculations for all the yield lines occurring in

each panel type. The absolute and dimensionless values of the lengths

and rotational angles are listed in Table B-7. Computer programs were

written for an HP-31CV to calculate the internal work (m A is factored

out) for each panel type. The necessary parameters stored in the calcu-

lator registers (obtained from program INIT) are listed in Table B-4.

The internal work program listings are shown in Table B-8. The sum of

the output from these programs is designated the coefficient of internal

work, oIW. That is,

E = 1Ei. = 2m 0 £n n n

Eventually

E = me A 1iW (B-5)

SOLUTION OF ENERGY EQUATION

The total external work for all panels is set equal to the total

$16 internal work:

Usually, ot and P are given, and the solution involves varying x', y',cap2and z' independently until ru/(m /L 2) is minimized. This minimum solution

u eprovides both the failure mechanism and the value of the ultimate resis-

tance. To simplify and shorten this iterative procedure, the positive

yield line (rst) between columns is initially located at the mid-point.

That is, let:'B-4

z = -- (S - c) (B-9)2

Substituting yields:

z - - 0.89 a L (B-10)2 cap

or

= (-i 0. 89 tcap (B-11)

The iterative minimization solution process is then employed to determine

the appropriate values of x' and y'. The process is then repeated for

other values of z' until the r u/(me /L 2) expression is minimized. Accord-ing to yield-line theory, the positive yield line (rst) will move towards

the column with the smallest negative y-moment (m y) capacity (either

line vwx or opq).

EXAMPLE PROBLEM

Calculations were made in this section to determine the yield-line

locations and the ultimate resistance expression for the 3 x 4 flat

slab. Equation B-li was used to initially establish a value for z'.

That is,

= 0.89 acap) 1.2 (0.89)(0.20) = 0.311

A number of calculations were then made for various values of x' and y'.

These results are listed in Tables B-9, B-1O, and B-11 and plotted in

Figure B-5. The minimum solution is:

a = 10.102

Substituting into Equation B-8:

(ru)min = 10.102 (B-12)

To obtain the actual minimum resistance, z' was then varied while keep-

ing x' and y' fixed at 0.4 and 0.3, respectively. The external work

coefficient, aEW' is unaffected by a change in the z' value. Therefore,

it remained fixed at 1.1531 (see Table B-9). The calculations for the

internal work coefficient are listed in Table B-12. It was necessary to

carry out the calculations to six significant figures in order to detect

a change in the z' value associated with the minimum resistance. There-

fore, for most flat slabs, a satisfactory value for z' can be obtained

directly from Equation B-11. That is, it is not necessary to employ the

iterization procedure for other values of z'.

This completes Step 2 of the Design Procedure (determination of

ultimate resistance relationship). The actual required absolute value

of ru is not obtained until Step 5 (dynamic SDOF analysis). Equation B-12

is then used to calculate an absolute value of m e . That is,

m u (B-13)e Ofru

The individual values of all the unit moments are then determined using

Equation A-l1 (i.e., m n a m ) in conjunction with the value of the' n urn

unit moment coefficients (a um) listed in Table B-1.

'4. UNIT MOMENT READJUSTMENT

In Steps 6 and II of the Design Procedure, a check on the minimum

steel percentage is made. In some cases (usually in middle bands), the

required steel percentages are less than the specified ACI minimum

(Pmin ), and these steel percentages must be increased. If so, then the

original unit moment coefficients for these sections must also be

.4.'-. increased. The following expression is the minimum unit moment coeffi-

cient that can occur:

Pmin bed fs (B-14)( u a) i n = (B 1 4

e

This new value is then used in another yield-line analysis. Note that

the values of the external work coefficients (see Table B-10) remain

unchanged. Only the internal work calculations are affected.

As an example, suppose that m2, m 3 , m 4 , and m 5 were too low and had

to be increased so that a2 = a3 = a4 = a5 = 0.120. If these new unit

moment coefficients were introduced into the internal work calculations,

the values in Tables B-14 and B-15 would result. As can be seen, the

minimum resistance still occurs at x' = 0.4 and y' = 0.3. However, a[ru

increases from 10.102 to 10.363. Since the absolute value of the required

ru remains unchanged, the required me value (calculated from Equation B-12)2 L2decreases from 0.0990 r L to 0.0965 r L . This results in an overallderaesfo 009 u u

2.5 percent decrease in the absolute values of the unadjusted unit

moments (i.e., mi, m 6 through m 18 ). Engineering intuition would have

predicted this effect.

Appendix C

EFFECTIVE UNIT MASS FOR FLAT SLAB

INTRODUCTION

The effective unit mass of a flat slab is given by:

mef = K m (C-I)

where: m = actual unit mass (lb-sec 2/in. )*2 3

mef = effective unit mass (lb-sec /in. 3 )

KI = load-mass factor

Because of the complexity and wide choice of parameter values for flat

slab structures, it becomes imperative to develop a general procedure

for determining the effective plastic unit mass for any flat slab configu-

ration. Also, adding to the complexity is the possible presence of drop

panels and soil cover. Both of these conditions are addressed in this

Appendix. The key to this or any general procedure is in the development

of a simple, but efficient, method which can be used for any flat slab.

This Appendix contains the recommended procedure, which has been program-

med on an HP-41CV.

The procedure is illustrated for the 3 x 4 flat slab structure

(Figure 11) previously analyzed in Appendixes A and B. Parameter studies

are also made for other configurations.

ACTUAL UNIT MASS

For a flat slab without drop panels, the actual unit mass equals:

m = mslab + mob = Pslab tslab + Pob tob (C-2)

C-i

pe N% N

Page 156: N-1759 NCEL Note By Sponsored Explosives Safety BoardDESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete

where: mslab = actual unit mass of slab

mob= actual unit mass of soil overburden

Pslab = mass density of slab

tslab = thickness of slab

Dob = mass density of soil overburden

tob = thickness of soil overburden

For a flat slab with drop panels, the actual unit mass is obtained from

this expression:

m= (C-3)AT

where: NT = total mass (slab + soil overburden + drop panel)

AT = total slab area

Note that these quantities represent that portion of the structure whichrotates (deflects). Therefore, the mass/area inside of the equivalent

square capital and outside of the perimeter yield line (haunch) is

excluded in the calculations. Now,

MT = (m ob + m slab ) AT + Mdp Adp (C-4)

or

MT = (Pob tob + Pslab tslab) AT + Pdp tdp Adp (C-5)

where: mdp = actual unit mass of drop panel

Adp = area of drop panel (minus area of capital)

Pdp = mass density of drop panel

tdp = thickness of drop panel

Substituting Equation C-5 into Equation C-3 yields:

M=P t +P tA dp (C-6)= ob tob + Pslab lab + Pdp tdp AT

C-2

PLASTIC LOAD-MASS FACTOR

As shown in the main text, the plastic load-mass factor for flat

slabs without drop panels and with or without a uniform soil overburden

equals

I

K 1' (C-7)ILM 1 A

where, for each sector:

I = area moment of inertia about the axis of rotation

c = distance from the resultant applied load to the axis ofrotation

LI = total length of sector normal to axis of rotation

A = total area of sector

For a flat slab with drop panels and with or without soil overburden the

load-mass factor equals:

I' ' cL 1Um

KLM 1 1 I (C-8)

where: I = mass moment of inertia about the axis of rotationm

M = total mass of sector

To determine the numerators of Equations C-7 and C-8, the flat slab

is divided into the same rotating sectors used for the external work

calculations. Figure C-1 is a reproduction of Figure B-4, which is for

the 3 x 4 flat slab example. For a flat slab with drop panels, the

additional rotating sectors are shown in Figure C-2 as the dotted areas.

The numerator of Equation C-7 then becomes:

The numerator of Equation C-8 becomes:

I/flat I m I m I /short)

__ I-slab - 1 (corner) +- (interior) +-lIside

I (Iong\+ -- _side/ (C-1)

Each of the four terms on the RHS of Equation C-1O contains mass contri-

butions from the slab, soil overburden, and drop panel. If the drop

panel contributions are separated, then Equation C-1O can be rewritten

Pas:

' (flat I flatcL 1 s l ab) Pob tob + Pslab lab E -L1slab /

+p p - ( drop (C-11)+ dp tdp .cL l~panel (C)1

Since YI/cL (flat slab) was already calculated in Equation C-9, only

the additional effects of the drop panel have to be considered. There-

fore, the amount of calculations has been reduced.

To determine the denominators of Equations C-7 and C-8, it is not

necessary to individually determine the area or mass of each rotating

sector. Since the total area or mass is independent of the yield-line

locations, it is easier to determine the total area or mass by using the

overall slab dimension and then subtracting the area of the nonrotating

column capitals and wall haunches. The total mass for a flat slab with

drop panels is given by Equation C-5. That is,

M = (P ob t ob + Pslab tslab) AT + Pdp tdp Adp

Finally, after substituting Equations C-11 and C-5 into Equation C-8:

Figure C-3 shows the I/cL values for triangular and rectangular

rotating sectors. Each value consists of the quantity b d times coeffi-

cient alM, where b is the length of the sector side parallel to the axis

of rotation, and d is the length of the sector side perpendicular to the

axis of rotation. Therefore, the I/cL I values for any rotating quadra-

lateral sector equals:

cL d[ b)rectangle + LM triangle (C-13)

EXAMPLE PROBLEM

Calculations were made in this section to determine the effective

plastic unit mass for the 3 x 4 flat slab structure (Figure 11). Both

configurations with and without drop panels are considered.

The load-mass parameters for the flat slab without drop panels are

listed in Table C-1. The I/cL1 expressions are then listed in Table C-2.

Programs were written for an HP-31CV to calculate these values for each

panel type (corner, short side, interior, long side); these program

listings are shown in Table C-3. These programs make use of some of the

storage registers assigned earlier in the yield-line analysis; they are

reproduced in Table C-4. The result of the yield-line analysis of

Appendix B is as follows:

x'= 0.40

y'= 0.30

z'= 0.311

C-5

Page 160: N-1759 NCEL Note By Sponsored Explosives Safety BoardDESCRIPTION OF FLAT SLAB In reinforced-concrete buildings, slabs are used to provide flat, useful surfaces. A reinforced-concrete

That is, according to Table B-11, the minimum ultimate resistance of the

flat slab occurs for the above yield-line locations. Therefore, it is

only necessary to calculate K for this yield-line pattern. The denomi-

nator (TA) of Equation C-7 is calculated as follows:

I A = (.5L)(2S) - c 12 - 2 (2S) 2 5L) +

= L Lwhere: S = - 1. (C-15)1.25

c = 0.89 a L = (0.89)(0.20) L = 0.178 L (C-16)cap

Substitution yields,

I A = 2.0845 L2 (C-17)

The calculated I/cL1 values for the six panel types are listed in Table C-5.

The total 7I/cL (flat slab) value equals 1.4352 L 2 . Therefore, substi-tuting into Equation C-7 yields:

K 1.4352 L2 = 0.689LM 2.0845 L2

The actual unit mass is given by Equation C-2. Assume that the followingconditions exist:

tslab = 16 in.

tob = 12 in. = 0.75 tslab

Pslab = 0.000217 lb-sec 2/in.4

= 0.000150 ib-sec2 /in. 4 = 0.69Pob Pslab

Substitution into Equation (C-2) yields:

m = (Pslab)(tslab) + (0.69 pslab)(0.75 tslab)

1.518 pslab tslab

= 0.00527 lb-sec 2/in.3

For the flat slab with drop panels (assume Ldp = 0.4 L and

S dp= 0.4 L), Equation C-12 must be used to determine K L. The first

terms of the numerator and denominator which represent the slab and

overburden, only, are already known. That is,

Pob tob + Pslab tslab = 1.518 pslab tslab

AT = 2 A = 2.0845 L2

I (flat 1.4352L 2

cl, 1 slab/

Table C-6 lists the parameters (d, b, aLM) needed to determine the

second terms (drop panel contribution). Because the drop panel is

square (i.e., Ld = Sdp), all 12 sectors are identical. Therefore,

IL (drnel) = 12[.-(j(0 2 L + - ( 2 L (C-18)

+ 30.2L - 0.178 L )(0.2 L - 0.178 L)

= 0.1346 L2

The drop panel area, Adp, equals:

Adp 1.5 [(0.4 (0.4 - c2 ] = 0.1925 L2 (C-19)

Substitution into Equation (C-12) yields:

K - [N(1.518 pslab tslab)(1.4352 L2 ) + Pdp td (0.1346 L2)

(1.518 p slab tslab)(2.0845 L2 ) + Pdp tdp (0.1925 L

Assume that the following conditions exist: Itslab = 16 in.

t dp= 6 in. = 0.375 tslab

Pslab = pdp = 0.000217 lb-sec 2/in.4

Substituting into Equation C-20 yields:

22.229 pslab tslab L

2 = 0.6893.236 pslab L

Thus, there is no change in the K value. The actual mass is given byLMI

Equation C-6. That is,

Ap

M = o P t + P t Adpob ob slab slab Pdp tdp AT

Substituting yields:

(0 .19 2 5 L 2

m = 1.518 pslab tslab + (1.0 Pslab)(0.375 tslab) (2.0845 L2

= 1.553 pslab tslab

= 0.00539 lb-sec 2/in.3

Therefore, there is only a 2.3% increase in the unit mass because of the

drop panels. For practical purposes this can be neglected during the

design process.

PARAMIETER STUDIES

For comparitive purposes, K was calculated for the 15 iterativeLM

values of x' and y' employed in the yield-line analysis of Appendix B.

These results, listed in Table C-5, indicate the relative insensitivity

of K LMto yield-line locations. That is, K LMvaries slightly from 0.679

to 0.698.

Another comparative sensitivity study was made for different values

of 0 (i.e., 1.00 < P< 2.00). The location of the yield lines were

assumed as follows:

x'= 0.4

y= 0.375/p

The calculated values of K LMfor five values are listed in Table C-7.

These results again indicate the relative insensitivity of K M*That

is, K LMvaries from 0.682 to 0.691.

CONCLUSION

This Appendix outlines a procedure for determining the effective

unit mass for flat slabs with and without drop panels. The plastic

load-mass factor , K was shown to be unaffected by the introduction ofLM'

normal sized drop panels. Therefore, Equation C-7 can be used for flat

slabs with or without drop panels. The actual unit mass was shown to

increase only slightly (2.3%) upon the introduction of normal sized drop

panels. Therefore, Equation C-2 can be used to determine the actual

unit mass for flat slabs with or without drop panels.

COLUMN DESIGN

INTRODUCTION

The columns are designed in accordance with the criteria presented

in the ACI Code. They must be designed to resist the axial load and

unbalanced moment resulting from the flat slab blast load and the struc-

ture dead load, P dl The axial load and moment at the top of the column

(the critical section is at the bottom of the capital) are obtained from

the flat slab shear forces, Pi, acting on the perimeter of the column

capital plus the load, P cap' on the equivalent square capital (Figure D-1).

The determination of these design loads are illustrated for the

lower right-hand column of the 3 x 4 flat slab structure (Figure 11).

The actual column design is not shown, but it can be obtained from any

reinforced concrete design textbook.

CALCULATE TOTAL DYNAMIC COLUMN LOADS

The previously determined yield-line pattern for the flat slab is

shown in Figure D-2 along with the loading parameters for the lower

column. The required dynamic ultimate unit resistance, rud, equals

10.72 psi. (See Step 18 of main text.) The column loads are determined

as follows:

Capital: Pcap = (53.3)(53.3)(10.72) = 30,450 lb

Area 1: P, = -L (93.3)(123.3)(10.72) = 61,660 lb

P = (93.3)(53.4)(10.72) = 53,410 lb

CALCULATE NATURAL PERIOD

Column Mass

The mass of the column includes the column, capital, drop panel,

and that portion of the roof slab and soil overburden within the

boundaries of the drop panel; see Figure D-3. Therefore,

Column: H = (30)2 (119)(0.000217) = 18.25 lb-sec2 /in.

Capital: M = -(15) (30)2 + (60)2

+ (14-) (30)(60)1 (0.000217)

= 5.37 lb-sec 2/in.D-4

Drop Panel: M = (120) 2 (6)(0.000217) = 18.75 lb-sec 2/in.

Roof Slab: M = (120) 2 (16)(0.000217) = 50.00 lb-sec 2/in.

Overburden: M = (120) 2 (12)(0.000150) = 25.92 lb-sec 2/in.

ELASTIC-PLASTIC SDOF RESPONSE

The required dynamic strength of the column, Pd' (considering only

the blast loading) is obtained from the SDOF maximum response chart,

Figure 5.25, in Reference 18. That is, for an allowable design ductility,

Xm/XE , of 3.0:

td 93.3 6.35 C 1.20

T 14.7 R

P = CR P = (1.20) (790,930) = 949,120 lb (D-8)

This value is converted to an equivalent static column strength by dividingby DIF. That is,

P - dF (D-9)

For concrete compression, DIF equals 1.25. Therefore,

_ 949,120 - 759,300 lbs 1.25

TOTAL COLUMN LOAD

The total factored axial load, Pu, consists of the previously

determined equivalent static load, P , plus the structure dead load,

Pdl' within the boundaries of the yield lines shown in Figure D-1. The

dead load calculations are as follows:

Capital: P = (15) (30)2 + (60)2

+n (30)(60 145 = 2,076 lb

+-3)(0 1 ,7 28)

Drop Panel: P = (120)2 (6) (\145 = 7,250 lb, 728 1 =

Roof Slab: P = (303.3)(243.3)(16) i15 = 99,074 lb1,728)

Soil Overburden: P = (303.3)(243.3)(12) 1, 728) 51,245 lb

P = I P = 159,645 lb

Therefore, the total factored axial load equals:

Pu = Ps + Pdl = 759,300 + 159,645 = 918,945 lb (D-1O)

The design eccentricity remains at 1.0 in.
