8. Pan Joist Floor Systems Definition: The type of slab is also called a ribbed slab. It consists of a floor slab, usually 2-4 in. thick, supported by reinforced concrete ribs. The ribs are usually tapered and uniformly spaced at distances that do not exceed 30 in. The ribs are supported on girders that rest on columns. In some ribbed slabs, the space between ribs may be filled with permanent fillers to provide a horizontal slab soffit.

14. Pan Joist Floor Systems ACI Requirements for Joist Construction
(Sec. 8.11, ACI 318-99)
Slabs and ribs must be cast monolithically.
Ribs must be spaced consistently
Ribs may not be less than 4 inches in width
15. Pan Joist Floor Systems ACI Requirements for Joist Construction (cont.)
(Sec. 8.11, ACI 318-99)
Depth of ribs may not be more than 3.5 times the minimum rib width
Clear spacing between ribs shall not exceed 30 inches.
** Ribbed slabs not meeting these requirements are designed as slabs and beams. **
16. Pan Joist Floor Systems Slab Thickness
(ACI Sec. 8.11.6.1)
t 2 in. for joints formed with 20 in. wide pans
t 2.5 in. for joints formed with 30 in. wide pans
17. Pan Joist Floor Systems Slab Thickness (cont.)
Building codes give minimum fire resistance rating:
1-hour fire rating: ľ in. cover, 3”-3.5” slab thickness
2-hour fire rating: 1 in. cover, 4.5” slab thickness
18. Pan Joist Floor Systems Standard Removable Form Dimensions
Note the shapes
19. Pan Joist Floor Systems Standard Removable Form Dimensions
Standard Widths: 20 in. & 30 in. (measured at bottom of ribs)
Standard Depths: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 or 20 in.
20. Pan Joist Floor Systems Standard Removable Form Dimensions (cont.)
End Forms: one end is closed (built-in) to form the supporting beam
Tapered End Forms: provide additional shear capacity at ends of joists by tapering ends to increase rib width.

23. Pan Joist Floor Systems Laying Out Pan Joist Floors
Rib/slab thickness
Governed by strength, fire rating, available space
Overall depth and rib thickness
Governed by deflections and shear
24. Pan Joist Floor Systems Laying Out Pan Joist Floors (cont.)
Typically no stirrups are used in joists
Reducing Forming Costs:
Use constant joist depth for entire floor
Use same depth for joists and beams (not always possible)
25. Pan Joist Floor Systems Distribution Ribs
Placed perpendicular to joists*
Spans < 20 ft.: None
Spans 20-30 ft.: Provided a midspan
Spans > 30 ft.: Provided at third-points
At least one continuous #4 bar is provided at top and bottom of distribution rib.
*Note: not required by ACI Code, but typically used in construction
26. Member Depth ACI provides minimum member depth and slab thickness requirements that can be used without a deflection calculation (Sec. 9.5)
Useful for selecting preliminary member sizes
27. Member Depth ACI 318 - Table 9.5a:
Min. thickness, h
For beams with one end continuous: L/18.5
For beams with both ends continuous: L/21
L is span length in inches
Table 9.5a usually gives a depth too shallow for design, but should be checked as a minimum.
28. Member Depth
29. Member Depth Rule of Thumb:
hb (in.) ~ L (ft.)
Ex.) 30 ft. span -> hb ~ 30 in.
May be a little large, but okay as a start to calc. DL
Another Rule of Thumb:
wDL (web below slab) ~ 15% (wSDL+ wLL)
Note: For design, start with maximum moment for beam to finalize depth.
Select b as a function of d
b ~ (0.45 to 0.65) (d)
30. Pattern Loads Using influence lines to determine pattern loads
Largest moments in a continuous beam or frame occur when some spans are loaded and others are not.
Influence lines are used to determine which spans to load and which spans not to load.
31. Pattern Loads
Influence Line: graph of variation of shear, moment, or other effect at one particular point in a structure due to a unit load moving across the structure.
32. Pattern Loads Quantitative Influence Lines
Ordinate are calculated (“exact”)
See Fig. 10-7(a-e)
33. Pattern Loads Qualitative Influence Lines
Mueller-Breslau Principle
Figs. 10-7(f), 10-8, 10-9
Used to provide a qualitative guide to the shape of the influence line
34. Pattern Loads Qualitative Influence Lines (cont.)
For moments
Insert pin at location of interest
Twist beam on either side of pin
Other supports are unyielding, so distorted shape may be easily drawn.
For frames, joints are assumed free to rotate, assume members are rigidly connected (angle between members does not change)

37. Pattern Loads
38. Pattern Loads ACI 318-99, Sec. 8.9.1:
It shall be permitted to assume that:
The live load is applied only to the floor or roof under consideration, and
The far ends of columns built integrally with the structure are considered to be fixed.
** For the project, we will model the entire frame. **
39. Pattern Loads ACI 318-99, Sec. 8.9.2:
It shall be permitted to assume that the arrangement of live load is limited to combinations of:
Factored dead load on all spans with full factored live load on two adjacent spans.
Factored dead load on all spans with full factored live load on alternate spans.
** For the project, you may use this provision. **
40. Project: Load Cases for Beam Design DL: Member dead load (self wt. of slab, beams, etc.)
SDL: Superimposed dead load on floors
LLa1: Case a1 LL
(maximize +Mu/-Mu in 1st exterior beam)
LLa2: Case a2 LL (optional)
(maximize +Mu/-Mu in 2nd exterior beam – symmetric to 1st exterior beam)
41. Project: Load Cases for Beam Design LLb: Case b LL
(maximize +Mu in interior beams)
LLc1: Case c1 LL
(maximize -Mu in beams 1st interior support)
LLc2: Case c2 LL (optional)
(maximize -Mu in beams at 2nd interior support – symmetric to LLc)
42. Project: Factored Load Combinations for Beam Design Factored Load Combinations:
U = 1.4 (DL+SDL) + 1.7 (LLa1)
U = 1.4 (DL+SDL) + 1.7 (LLa2)
U = 1.4 (DL+SDL) + 1.7 (LLb)
U = 1.4 (DL+SDL) + 1.7 (LLc1)
U = 1.4 (DL+SDL) + 1.7 (LLc2)
Envelope Load Combinations:
Take maximum forces from all factored load
combinations

** All these requirements must be met to use the coefficients!**
